Aidan Does Chores

Aidan earned his keep on the weekend by doing all his mom's chores; even earned a few bucks for himself. The last outdoor chore on Sunday was getting the large animals into the barn and settled for the night.

First, to go in was Snickerdoodle from his "man" pasture.

The rest of the procession was next.

When Wendy, John and Keoni had taken off on Saturday morning, it was a rainy trip they set out on to Cleveland by way of Philly where Keoni had his usual morning of orchestra practice before points west.

Ready to leave.

The rain is the story again this Tuesday morning. It's making mayhem on the Jersey Shore.

Yesterday, the Indian Valley YMCA was my destination and this morning I have muscles reminding me of what I did. Lots of people in my age group were there to share the activity, and the place was friendly and newer even than the Tucson branch on North La Cholla by the college. Plus, the pool AND enclosure were warm.

The oil man just filled the household reservoir for another month's drain on the dollars. I guess the frackers are happy besides the oil delivery people. I used to think the southwest drain on the dollars for A/C in the summers comparable to the heating bills in the winter of colder climes. Not. Even. Close.

Wonder what the heating bills at the Y are.
