fun in threes, sometimes fours
general
We mowed again today: yesterday's mowing was not sufficient because the height of the grass required us to mow at the mower's highest setting yesterday. And since we don't have the sharpest blade in the world, it just pushed some of the grass over and cut the rest.
Today we mowed again. And pulled weeds. A lot of weeds. And put down fertilizer.
The Boy is moving on: cross-over is in a couple of weeks, and the pinewood derby is in a couple of days. After that, he'll no longer be a cub scout -- he'll move on to be a boy scout...
The Boy is going on his first overnight field trip this week: Tuesday morning the fifth-grade class leaves for Chattanooga and they don't return until Thursday evening. And the derby is on Saturday, so we had to get things finished up today.
It was a close game, tied 0-0 at halftime and even throughout the vast majority of the second half. And then, with about one minute remaining, the opposing team scored.
It was disappointing, but the boys played well.
