Dory burned around two million fallen tree leaves yesterday and I hept. I didn't really count them so more than that is a good possibility. The rotten wind would come and go and we never knew from which direction the next puff, puff, puff would come from. Caused us to burn only a little at a time to keep the fire low and containable. Took almost four hours but we burned the lot of them. We still have another several million strewn about here and there and 'too windy' is the only excuse I can come up with to avoid ourselves from becoming totally burned out by burning leaves.
Even with all the burning we found time to watch Missouri win another football game. Afterwards we turned to the Busch race. Dory read and watched it upstairs while I read and watched it for awhile downstairs. I finally decided the book was the better time user and the race was interfering with that delight so I turned the TV off. Dory has it slimmed down to only about 27% of the time but even at that I'll count my blessings and hang on to the slim thread allowed me, the downright wonderful feeling that I can be the judge of how I want to use my time....some of the time! I didn't take into account any doctor or dentist appointments because there we still retain the, go or not, call.
No Dory and I weren't fighting, her favorite chair is upstairs and my is downstairs. There no way could we put them in the same room, GEE WHIZ, they don't come close to matching! Anyway, the way it is, works just fine for us.
The NASCAR season is just about to end and I think my interest in watching beat their ending by about three or four weeks. There is a race today which I'm sure we'll watch but if this new book has it like I hope, I'll use the TV remote delete button. They spell delete- O F F -on the remote.
