Drink Up

Jul 26, 2011 by Naomi.

Tuesday nights are for Drinking Liberally with about 14 democrats. This has been going on for years although I have not regularly participated until Al reminded me yesterday that the group was changing to the Red Lion and I made an effort to get to the meeting. All day I sweated over raking and watering my yard. I put the yard waste bin and my regular garbage bin out at 9 pm so I won’t worry about that in the morning. I painted the bench and the associated wall on the shop earlier today and realized it needed a second coat which may not completely cover the gray. It looks bright but not as cheery as some pastel color but my arm tired so it may remain until my muscles recoup. I will know better in the bright daylight tomorrow. The squirrels scurry and tail talk in the branches of black walnut above it chewing the rind and dropping bits  in the process creating a mess where they could just as easily go away. But then I planted and watered those trees and will not ever consider cutting them down. Anyway I brushed off bits and repainted several times before I went to the beer party. There is an area higher than I could reach and if it is noticeable tomorrow I will haul out a ladder and finish the job. In spite of the eighty degree temperatures my yard is cool because of the trees and I enjoy sitting out there to eat and drink.
