Doe and fawn

In the refrigerator is cheese, wieners, and apples.  Not what I wanted for breakfast.  Before I could go out though there were things to do.  Gathered up the garbage and took it out to the bin.  When I moved the bin to  just beyond the shoulder of the road I saw the flashing lights of a small tractor coming.  Watched for a moment and  realized it was the county mower w/ an attachment so he could get well down into the ditches.  I moved my garbage bin out of his way so he wouldn't have to lift his mower.  Was rewarded w/ a smile and a wave as he passed. Back at the house I got out my phone and called John Deere.  I had mowed the lawn yesterday and saw an oily slick on the concrete underneath Svaldilfari.  Yes, they would pick it up and fix it.  Started a load of laundry and took off for the village.  Before I got there, stopped off at Mechanic Eric's shop.  He said he could change my oil next week.  I also told him a friend had heard a noise from the back and it might be the ball bearings.  He laughed, "Usually it's a friend that notices it.  It builds slowly and the driver doesn't even realize there is anything different."  He'd check it out when he changes the oil.  Finally stopped at the cafe for breakfast and then walked down the block for a latte.  The clothes were ready to hang out on the line when I got back.   Another pop-up storm in the afternoon almost gave them a rinse but fortunately the thunder warned me something was coming and I got the clothes off the line in time. Through the first half of the year the weatherman talked about how we were below our normal rainfall amounts.  This June may have remedied that.
