So now that things have sorta returned to normal, well as normal as they can get at the lake.  The evolution never stops changing up here.  One just adapts and does his/her own thing.  Fit in if you want or be left behind.  Pretty good words to live by.
  Boots thought it would be a good idea to get me up at four to feed him this morning.  "NOT",  I chased him back to bed headache and all!  He sucked up to me until I could not take it any longer, and finally got up to take my medication at five and fed him his first breakfast.  At least today he has returned to patrol duties, he must have a guilt complex going on.
  I think later today I shall go over to Derek's and empty the ashes from his fire pit on his new lawn.  This should provide some good fertilizer.  I might have to pick up a few coals that didn't quite burn all the way down, but when we stirred them up yesterday, they seemed for the most part to be mostly ashes.  Oh yes, it will be grass cutting day again, followed by some watering, especially my trees.  This will probably bring out some monsoon rains, as that is what happened the last time I went through this effort! lol.  It Seems that I was to blame for a Provincial disaster, "Northern Sask. without power" my sense of humour as I watch the sunshine rising over the north eastern horizon.
  Early this morning the graduation girl flew off to Mexico, with I don't know how many graduating students from across the city, but a lot!  Seems this is something that is some what of a tradition out of Saskatoon.  Hope they have a safe and great time.
  So this afternoon while I feed and water my trees I shall sit back and relax on my deck set my transmission in neutral and just think about what has transpired in the past few days in retrospect in Building the Simple life....................
