Friday the 12th

Morning. Cloudy and 50°. 83 is forecast for today. We need rain, everything is dry and fire danger is high. Was thinking of mowing grass today, but might wait till after the weekend when we are supposed to cool down to more normal 60-70 degree weather. Less stress on the grass. Think I will go out this morning and blow the leaves out of the rest of the backyard and also from around my shed. Then start assembling the boy and girl outfits and support stake brackets for the figures, so I can put them out this weekend. Need to varnish the flowers that are going out there till we can plant live ones. Need to do a little weed whipping out there too.
Martha, there is a spray called Mold Armour that you attach to your hose and spray on your house. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse off. It takes dirt, mold and junk off the siding. I use it on mine. Depending on how big your house is, you will need more than one bottle. With the hose, you can shoot it up to 20 feet from the ground. Put safety glasess on when you use it as you don’t want to get any in your eyes. Lowes carries it as do other places. It’s amazing how much dirt and stuff cones off.
More info coming on neighbor. He is in critical condition in ICU in Traverse City. They did not take him to Grand Rapids. One of the neighbors coming back into the sub found him. He was unconscious, but no blood anywhere. She called 911 and then her husband to come down there. Turns out his wife was home, but must have been sleeping or something because she was unaware of what happened. They saw her walk past a window and went and got her, stayed there until the family was called to the scene. Ironically, these same neighbors were the ones who bought this couples house a year ago, when they sold it and moved down here to this end of the road. I had gone by there walking my dogs, maybe about an hour or so before the accident happened and I did not see anybody outside at that time. There is an awning on the drivers side of the MH and I have seen it laying up on the roof a couple times. I think he was making repairs to the roller mechanism when he fell from the ladder he was on. It was an extension ladder, but I and neighbors who had seen it there, all thought it looked awful dangerous the way it was propped up there. So we await further news. Kind of a relay set up among the neighbors. One finds out something and sends it to somebody else and on it goes.
Molly had good report from her vet yesterdsy at followup appt. Her liver enzymes that were a bit low are back over the normal line and the Rimadyl seems to be helping the arthritis, so now I can cut her down from one and a half tabs, one in a.m. and half in p.m. to one half every 12 hours
So that’s the latest news from here. Have a great day all.
