The rain that came yesterday and the continued work in the yard is starting to pay off. It appears that we will be getting seven trees from Grandpa Milo to plant between the street and the sidewalk this Saturday. I will take pictures to post here as soon as I get them put in. There is still a lot of work to do, but the whole place is starting to look quite different now than when we first moved in.

Last night, I moved some dirt around in the yard and spent 36 minutes on the NordicTrack so I was expecting to get on the scale and see that I had lost a little more weight. Someone had played with the scale and when I reset it, my weight showed that I had gained a couple of pounds. I think the scale spring has a memory that changes and setting of the scale depends on temperature and humidty. When I got up this morning, the zero setting had moved just a little bit, so I reset it, weighed myself and I was down to 194 pounds, a one pound loss from before. From now on, I am going to do my official measurement at the same time after I get up each morning and I am going to have everyone avoid setting the zero adjustment on the scale.

Our Wednesday evening gospel meetings have ended for the next month or so. We will be having bible studies at the Meyer’s house in Jefferson instead. That will be a nice change. The Sunday evening gospel meetings have been cancelled, too for the time being. We have been taking my cousin Tim with us to those meetings, so we will miss seeing him so much until the meetings start again later this summer. We will have to make the point to drop in on him now and again.||The rain that came yesterday and the continued work in the yard is starting to pay off.
