Yesterday, while it was still warm, I hoped to tackle Mama Kay’s leaves, but she was hosting a card party and I didn’t want to disturb them.

This morning, I took to my backyard at 10:00 AM to blow leaves and mow. By 10:45 AM, I was working on Mama Kay’s yard and by 4:30 PM, it was looking smashing. It is done, with the exception of touch-ups, now and then.

I am including some photos of Mama Kay’s hydrangea that is still tossing up some blooms with the unusually warm weather.

I ordered Chinese from Door Dash and I did not receive what I had ordered. I reported it and they immediately offered me a $28 card to use. I reordered my original menu item and hopefully, it will be correct this time. It was not Door Dash’s fault – it was the restaurant’s. I have been faithful to this eatery for nearly twenty years but for the past two years my orders have never been correct, or they are terribly late.

We have rain forecast to arrive around 3:00 AM and I am especially glad the leaves are completed. Tomorrow, I shall research and write. I may try to travel downtown to the Miami Conservancy District’s office to check out some items of interest. I am still not finding an answer to one particular question regarding the Great Miami River’s actual depth in the years preceding and just after the 1913 Dayton Flood.

My reordered food has arrived and it is time to eat and relax for the remainder of the evening.
