Pa Rock, Rosie, and Summer All Return to the Ozarks

 
by Pa Rock

Rosie and I are back home from the Kansas City area after a relatively quick trip through light traffic.  We only stopped twice along the way, in the happening towns of Bolivar and Seymour, Missouri, for relief and refreshment breaks, and made it home just a little past noon.  

Unfortunately, summer came with us, in full force.  Alexa says it is ninety degrees outside  - but it feels hotter - and will be ninety-four on Tuesday and Wednesday.  But the calendar is in play, and autumn officially begins on Thursday - when Alexa says the high temperature will be only seventy-two degrees and will remain significantly cooler for the next several days after that.  

This evening I will carry water to all of the outdoor plants, a process that takes about an hour-and-a-half and adds 2,400-plus steps to my daily routine - and I will begin the next round of mowing late in the week when the temperature drops.

And life is back to normal!
