Finished Clearing the Drainage Ditch

February 2, 2025

Last night, Nox decided she needed a massage. She got my attention and made it clear I should follow her. She trotted down the hall, to our bedroom. She looked up at the bed, so I picked her up and put her on the bed.

I picked up the remote and asked her if she wanted a massage. She knows the remote causes the bed to shake. She put her paw on it, so I turned it on. Nox curled up on the bed with an expression of bliss.

I decided Nox had the right idea and joined her. I was a bit achy from all the work I did yesterday. I continue to be amazed at how well the massage feature works on aches and pains.

I woke up this morning feeling fine. I notice several ladybugs inside by the south window in our bedroom. I spent a few minutes rescuing them.

I decided to finish digging out the drainage ditch.

Filling up holes in the yard gave me a lot of satisfaction, but there are so many more holes!

In my post yesterday, I mentioned the old feed trough that I am repurposing, but I didn’t have a picture of it. I took one earlier today.

At some point, I want to paint the legs. I am considering if painting the trough white would be good to reflect heat.

Nox wondered around the yard while I was working outside. She got tired and went inside. I had left the door open for her. I came inside to her snoring.

Bruce called this morning to let me know his dad seems fine. I do hope after the fall, his dad will let his kids take care of him and not try to be too independent until his doctor gives him clearance.
