This picture is one I got of Don mowing. Karen didn't think we'd have to mow because it's usually dry around this time of year. Not this year. It has rained every day since we've been here. The ground is so porous that it sinks right through and isn't muddy, and it doesn't rain all day; it just rains at some time every day. So, the grass has really grown in spots and we were about to lose the dogs in some patches, and Don thought he should mow. The people who lived here before Karen had a nursery, so she thinks there is plastic under much of the yard and it doesn't grow hardly at all. So, it only took him about an hour to mow and weed-eat. I do laundry, so he does grass. Ha.
This evening we are going to celebrate my birthday some more; we're going to the Paniolo Country Inn for supper and to hear Braddah Smitty and his band. I really love to do that. Susan (our daughter-in-law), we'll be celebrating for you, too.
We've got our last grocery list made. I think we will be coasting on the food we have for the most part. We hope we are prepared for the hurricane if it hits us. We expect it will be down to a big rain/wind storm by the time it gets here. However, there were two dead trees on the property that fell over the other day with some big winds. They were dead before, but we'd had a lot of rain, so the ground was soft and then when the big winds came, over they went, roots and all. We had to move them off the driveway. The property manager was here the week after Karen left saying they were coming to remove those trees, but they haven't come, yet. I just hope none of the big ones around us fall over onto us if we get big winds Monday. God is taking care, so I trust Him. We've done all we know to do and leave the rest to Him.
