Took the dogs for a walk up to Susie's house so I could check the mail, and while I was there I let them loose in the back. Zeke loved it and was into the pool several times. My two barked frantically at some Jack Russell terriers on the other side of the fence so I had to put them back on the leash and not let them tear the fence apart. Oy.

After waiting all afternoon the tree guy didn't come - again. I begin to notice a pattern here, and I think I'll start cutting and dragging branches, a few a day, out to the front. I told the nextdoor neighbor I was taking the dogs out and to call me if the guy arrived, but my walk wasn't disturbed.

If I'm smart I'll spend some more time filing papers this evening. I got a start yesterday, but there is some left. I set up a file for keeping all of the refinance papers. I probably don't need to keep all of the old original and refinance papers, do you think? I am probably going to shred most of those old files, keeping just a few pages that show exactly what I paid, where I borrowed, etc.

So glad tomorrow is Friday. And Moonglow is coming down for a visit! I will have her dad and brother over for dinner so we can all hang out a little. I've been harvesting garden stuff and she can take some back - turns out she was never here when I dug up the potatoes (she didn't realize I grew them last year till she found my bin full of them last winter). So I'll wait for her and let her dig some potatoes so she can see how it looks. I find non-gardeners are uniformly impressed with this kind of thing. :)
