I had a day off today.

I ended up having the entire day off. I had originally requested 4hours off of work for today to run some very important personal errands but it ended up extending way past 4hrs. When I was done with my errands, I called my boss and he said since there was not much going on that I should just take the rest of the day off and enjoy it so I said ok.
I was in the vicinity of my country place so I went by to check on it. I parked on the road looking at the property disgusted with the tall tall weeds. I drove from one end of the property to the other on the road when I see a truck way down at the stop sign turning on to the road. I recognized it immediately. It was my neighbors who keep an eye on my place. They are a retired couple and really nice folks. He said he hadda swing by to see who the truck was goin' back n' forth lol.... since they didnt expect me there. It was a good thing I ran into them because I needed to give them my new phone number in case something happens and they needa git a hold of me. We talked fer a lil bit and I thanked them for keeping an eye on my place and told them that I surely appreciate it. Then we parted ways.
I drove into my property and spent about an hour or so there. It was horribly hot then out of nowhere a swarm of mosquito's just swarmed in. Damn I'd never seen that many at once. I was totally unprepared for the visit, much less an extended visit. I could also hear a constant buzzing that was all too familiar but I could not locate the swarm of bees thru that thick brush.
Then I sat under the tree and I saw movement. It was a cat, someones cat or a feral cat. It is hiding in the area where I stow away the broken lawnmowers which is a good thing because I had seen some moles there that have dug some holes and have taken residence. I couldn't tell if it was a male or female cat and if it was pregnant or not. I couldn't hear kittens cuz I got pretty close. I don't exactly care for cats as far as picking them up and lovin' on 'em but I don't mind if there is one or a couple on the property to keep rodents at bay. I don't know if cats eat dog food but I had a lil dog food in my truck that I use to feed strays. I left a lil bit and some water for 'em. Maybe I'll buy some cheap cat food to leave evertime I go out there. I didn't bother the cat and just let it be. It is good shelter for it.
When I got home in the city, I was kinna bored so I started messing with a lil solar panel that was a part of a shed light outfit from Harbor Freight. My conclusion is that it will serve well as a trickle battery charger in full sun. I will elaborate more on that at a later time.
Oh yeah, I hadda make a Dollar General run and found the book called All New Square Foot Gardening...Grow More in Less Space by Mel Bartholomew. I just started reading it and so far so good. I paid $5.00 for it...a small price for useful information. I have always liked the idea of square foot gardening. I also got Mom a new word search book...she loves doing those.
Im tired now. It has been a long day for me but glad I got those errands out of the way. Thanks fer stoppin by, until next time..see you on the backroads.
