New Garden Tractor

Faced with another year of mowing three lots through the Texas summer, I invested in sanity and comfort. This little hummer mows a four foot path at a gallop. I am so pleased. Thanks to Mary Garcia for hauling it from Home Depot to our home in her pickup.

Had My Cataract Removed Today.

This afternoon I had the cataract removed from my right eye. So far so good. Practically no discomfort. I took this as my week of vacation but it looks pretty non-intrusive so far. I can't bend over for 48 hours. No lifting over 25lb. for a week. Sleep with an eye-protector for a week and eye drops for 6 weeks. I'll post the vision results as I see them. Tonight I still have a protector over the eye.

The Great Fish Migration


We got the last of the fish moved from the gardenroom pond to the aquarium this week. Though we had a little territorial shoving by the orandas, it has gone well and the work is complete. There is a picture of the unpopulated tank here and of the pond when populated here.
