As you have read many times on this blog I am the Head laborer here at Rabbit Run. A part of that job entails meeting or exceeding the expectations of the master Gardener. Earlier this year I bought a leaf rake that hooks on behind the new mower. I went out and mowed the field at a very low height and collected all the clippings. After spreading them on the part of the garden that was fallow this last year, I went to the local dairy to get a load of manure.
After getting the pickup loaded up, I told the Dairy manager that it would make the master gardener happy to have that to add to the compost I put on the garden. He said that I must be a lucky guy because a lot of wives would ask for a divorce when they are given a load of crap. He said I should hang on to a wife that is happy with a load of manure. I agree.
Tonight we will go to Lawrence to watch the Hawks men's basketball team kick off their season. It will be only a game against one of the State universities but should be fun none the less. Next year I am going to get involved in the seat selection. Again we are separated by a row. OK, after being married for 46 years it is not a big deal to be separated for an hour or so. I can see her from where she is seated so no big deal. This is the team that went to Korea and won the World University Games. Should be a great season. Now if they can do what the Royals did.
How much money would someone have to have paid me to go stand in a crown of 800,000 to see the Royals be recognized as winners? It was a wonderful day here in the Heartland and might have been a good day to be outside. I was out and shoveling manure but at least it made Barb happy. I guess I am just getting old. Not such a bad gig when you consider the alternative.
Oh well, it is already 60 so I had better get ready to go collect some leaves.
