Nice cool morning. Up at 6:00, and off to the cottage. Made notes on a new piece, took care of some correspondence. Did a little housekeeping with old files. Ready to ramp up again.
Took a mid-morning break and drove out to Rick’s with a sample of the dead grass. He listened to my pathetic tale, told me I was doing everything right, and suggested the problem might not be an insect infestation but fungus. Surprised me, as I always thought fungus turned the grass blue. Anyway, bought some fungicide to arrest the problem, and have now set my sights on next spring when the new seed sprouts.
Nice workout at the gym. Was the only one there for a while. Haven’t seen the place that sleepy for almost a year.
Put in a little more time at the keyboard when I got home, then went off to C&D’s to water the lawn and pick up a few groceries at Safeway.
Beautiful fall-ish day today. Clear blue sky, cool temps, small friendly breezes. Couldn’t ask for much more. Hope to see more of the same tomorrow.
