Happy Birthday
Jun. 22nd, 2006 08:32 amPossible tornado next county over... weeeeeeeeee... the radars show a big mess o' storm pressing up against our area.
Picked up the quoits - 65 pounds of slate for each board. Not sure where they'll go - they only need an 18' flat stretch, but I don't want to put them somewhere a tree limb will fall on them or a deer will run on them. I do want to find somewhere to leave them - until then I'll haul them from the front yard to storage.
The kubb game arrived - looks great, can't wait to play. Standard playing field is 16'x26' - best place to play would probably be the front yard.
Mowed the front lawn. It was pretty hot and muggy, so that wasn't easy - I would have preferred to wait until Saturday, but looks like we'll have rain then, so I had to take advantage of the break in the rain. Did a slightly larger area than usual. Added the sandmound - dodging around the daisies and ferns - and the grass there was about 2-3' tall on average. Used a tank and half of gas just for the front - the back will have to wait. Justin did about half of the yard, alternating rounds with me.
We played some quoits, or attempted to. Arms were pretty worn out after forcing the mower around on the banks of the sandmound, so the quoits seemed to fly far and wide from where we would have liked them to go. Still, with some practice we might be able to score some points! =)
Rachel collected a good amount of blueberries - she enjoys hunting for them, so it's a good task for her.
Hmmmmm. Thunder starting. Best shut this down....
