I wanted to cut the grass at 9am but found that the mower needed gas and the gas can was empty. Off I went to the WaWa to get the gas. I got the grass cut and it was already hot. I got out a lounge chair and glass of iced tea and sat in the shade to cool off. I noticed that some of the plants were right on schedule for blooming and some were late. I gage the leafing out of the trees by my birthday. The oaks still look like they are dead. The tulip tree is about halfway leafed out. The dogwoods and azaleas are on schedule. The Chinese Maple is leafed out and so is the privet hedge. They are a little early. The tulips are about on schedule. The daffodils were late. The grass is thick and heavy. It is ahead of schedule. The fertilizer and rain were probably the reason for that.
I don’t know what I am to do. People are so irresponsible with their large dogs. The pit bull across the street was running around loose. It had its leash trailing along behind it. I couldn’t take Danny out for his morning walk. I had to sneak him out through the back yard and along the neighbor’s lawn so he could do his business without the pit bull seeing us. His owner finally came out and sauntered along calling his dog. The dog of course ran away. He finally got the dog and hooked him up. A car passing by got to the stop sign and backed all the way down to block to warn me of the loose pit bull.
Thursday afternoon, I was walking Danny along the street to the east and a neighbor came out with his two Alaskan Malamutes that were not on leashes. The guy was getting into his truck and thought the dogs would just follow him. Well, when they saw Danny, they ran toward us. The guy grabbed one but the other came up to me. I had picked Danny up and told the dog to sit. It just looked at me and sniffed toward Danny. It seemed friendly but one never knows. The guy finally got Colby and scolded him. I thought he should scold himself. It wasn’t the dog’s fault.
I was glad to see the German Sheppard was in his new pen. Star, the Rotweller is in her pen. I wish the guy with the pit bull would pen in his animals. I don’t want to spend the money on a fence since I have the house up for sale and hope to get out of here. With summer coming on, it will be hectic here. There are a lot of children running back and forth, screaming and so forth. It used to be a nice quiet neighborhood but now a lot of young families have moved in and our peace and quiet is gone.
The pastor invited the people at Bible Study class to go to the Ocean City Tabernacle tonight. They are having a Choir Performance. I called him but haven’t heard from him yet. I hope he is able to return my call and I can go with him. I don’t want to drive by myself. I am exhausted from cutting the grass and walking Danny at noon. It was 89 degrees and the sun felt like it was burning my back through my shirt. Tomorrow is supposed to be worse and I don’t have my air conditioners in yet. Don will be coming down to help me but maybe not until next weekend. He has to repair his mower and cut his grass this weekend.
