Today we chipped the big pile of wood in the front yard. That's two down, and one to go! I think the blade in the wood chipper is starting to dull. It used to chop the entire stick cleanly, but by the time we were done it was leaving a strip of bark on the end. Like when you cut slices off a piece of cheese with a tough rind, and the rind stays attached on the bottom. I wonder if there's a way to sharpen the wood chipper blade?
We had a nice lunch at Rick's Diner. We used to go there all the time, and then got out of the habit, and just started going again a couple of weeks ago. The manager still remembered us. They play my favorite radio station there: The 40s on 4 from Sirius.
In the evening I did a little bit of vine clearing, and planted an annual vine under the old clothesline post. We decided that the posts would be too much of a pain in the ass to remove, so we're going to plant vines on them instead. Probably a climbing rose on the sunny one, but it's too late in the year to plant roses so we put in an annual vine just for this year.
We also made strawberry sorbet, which tasted great but didn't set up like it should have in the machine. I followed the recipe exactly; maybe the ice cream machine wasn't chilled enough. We stuck it in the freezer & hope it's ready to eat tonight.
