The Daily Mow

Seen at intersection in Cedar Rapids: ??

I couldn't quite decide whether the guy looked sorta awesome or sorta....trying too hard. Anyway, he's my icebreaker for today's post.

Of course, he has nothing to do with mowing or even a hay mow, but still...

Today's grind involved mowing.

This could not have been accomplished without two things: Diet Coke and Nolan.

And indirectly, Melinda. Because the last of two late books arrived this morning and I popped it in the mail. While in town I bought pop.

(amazing how these connected ideas and phrases move seamlessly together, no?)

I achieved the energy for the aforementioned feats by drinking two, luscious cups of morning coffee, which always tastes better when you're reading an interesting book.

In other news, Kendra is feeling better from her virusy thang. However, Ethan has now been laid low, curbing the amazing progress and work-together-ivity of the the three lads and their platform installation.

(pictures of that to come....I felt "Helmet Guy" deserved a little air play, first)

As to yesterday, we traveled into the big city for our "last-blast-of-the-summer," which included the movie Descpicable Me 2, supper at McDonald's, and ice cream at Culver's. And probably the last time for that exact combo, since Trevor is the only Hoyt-human left that qualifies for a children's ticket.

Naturally the kids wanted to see Despicable Me on DVD today, which gives me a little time to rest up for mowing one final section....
