A beautiful sunny day, warm 40 degrees. Thatching the front yard seems like a good idea. Larry used to do it, so two years have gone by without the spring raking. A metal rake, not a leaf rake, to get up the old grass, twigs, crumbling leaves, and assorted crap up. Fluffs up the grass which has been beneath the snow. I did a small patch by the driveway, maybe 6×8. That half-filled the yard tub. That was also all I could do. Getting the entire front yard done should take two to three weeks. A little at a time.
I did not wear a mask, now my lungs feel heavy and I am coughing up crap. That’s my asthma. I don’t wheeze, I cough, and feel like I am breathing through soup. Yuck. Mask! Mask!
I did this and that. Folded the laundry after the cats enjoyed the basket as a bed. It wasn’t even warm. Worked on the vest, it still smells like laundry fragrance. Gain, probably, even after washing it. Not helping the asthma. Got the big snake patch ironed on, and the cool raven and sun patch, and put on my plague doctor pins.
Dinner was homemade fried rice. I love having frozen chopped onions on hand, used some of my ginger and garlic, and half a can of peas and carrots. A little leftover chopped bacon, an egg. Yum. I will need to scrub the stovetop.
And so it goes…
