6:30 am I was outside mowing the "dog yard" with a little electric push mower. Not silent but 90% of the noise comes from he blades hitting the grass.
Breakfast followed by a shower.
Drove to pick up Dasha to take her to the airport. Left her at the security entrance about 12:30pm Central time. Her flight was supposed to lift off at 2pm.
Drove home, took a detour to pick up some fried chicken gizzards. Made it home before 2pm and assumed that Dasha's flight had departed on schedule. Chatted with the lovely Mrs_Bob on the phone.
Ate the gizzards while the dogs watched in horror because I didn't share and then went outside to mow the rest of the lawn on the tractor. Just before getting on the tractor I got a TEXT from Dasha that she was still on the ground, stuck on the plane, sitting at the gate.
Mowed the lawn with the tractor and pretty much tore it up but the grass was just too darn high with all the rain we've been getting. Got another TEXT from Dasha, flight delayed to 5pm Central. They let them off the plane . . . I'm guessing at this point she is probably boarding the airplane now since it is 4:30pm Central.
Weather radio has been squawking about tornadoes and thunderstorms but its bright and sunny and hot here with only a nice breeze. They weather app on my phone said we'd have thunder and lightning starting about 1pm. Uh, nope. I guess maybe it will hit us. Eventually? We don't need any more rain. Ground is just a bit firmer than a peat bog in most stops. Muddy in other spots.
BTW THE PHOTO WAS UPRIGHT ON MY PHONE + ON MY COMPUTER
