Pentoga Road

Just like that, May has come and is almost out the door. The days, months, and years, seem to fly in and out of here faster than the sons ran through the house in their childhood days.

Monday was a full day. Once Sargie left for work, I hopped on the mower and sheared the front and back meadows, the side yard, and the main trails. None of it looks too good, but at least the grass is cut and once the monsoon season exits, I should be able to cut and trim it again, making the area look presentable. 

I had just enough time to run through the shower and get over to Foster City for the annual Mighty Milligan Memorial Day Celebration.

As always, love, laughter, talking, and great food was in no short supply.

How many conversations are going on in this picture?

Though I talked with the big people, Grady and I hung out off and on through the day and he was so excited to play with his cousin, Brielle. 

Things began breaking up later in the afternoon. I hugged the others and Hambone goodbye with a promise I'd see him later this week and came back home.

I really had planned to mix up concrete and pour the footings for the garden arbor. That didn't happen. Seems a bout of laziness set in and I opted to fertilize the giant pumpkin plants instead. 

Sargie arrived home around 7 and we had a quiet evening. Another Memorial Day had come and gone.

Sargie opens this morning. I'm going to visit with Neighbor Mike first thing, then get busy and pour those pesky footings. He also has some more plants to give me. I'm not sure where I'll find the room, but we'll do what we have to.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
