A cup of coffee at Redwing is always nice. I came right before closing so I got two cookies for the price of one. I didn't really need a second cookie, but I ate it.
It is such a nice little cafe. I am glad they made it through the pandemic. It was closed a long time.
The sidewalk is cleaned up. I try to make sure it is cleaned because about ten years ago the City tried to make me pay for a claim from someone slipping on the walkway. I didn't have pictures that is was cleaned, but it may not have been as clean as it should have been. There used to be a lot more trees that dropped leaves. They have died and I have removed the trees, so there are less leaves in the fall.
This bank used to have some trees on it. Also the tenants had thrown yard waste on the hill for ten or twenty years. One rainy January day all that stuff slid onto the sidewalk. I have moved the stuff away, and have replanted the hillside.
Ok this house yard is cleaned up. It looks ok now.
There were drains from the downspouts that come out behind the sidewalk. The animals dig and cover them. Water will back up. I really didn't want to have a wet apartment so these are open now. Behind the garage is a bunch of blackberries on a wall. I was standing and stepped on a board that I thought would support my weight it didn't and I fell backwards and firmly hit the ground squarely on my back. The wind was really blown out of me. I thought I might be hurt, so I slowly moved and everything was ok. I got up and kept working. I really think going to pilates every day this week probably saved me from serious injury. My back muscles are strong from all of those back lifts.
I am thinking about going dancing a bit. Maybe just an hour would be good. Ok here I go.
