 Sunday - morning

Well, interesting things.

Church this morning, the 7 year old is being forced to go.  Not from me, but parents said if he's going to go to Wednesday night service, he has to go to Sunday service or don't go at all.  Ok.  I kind of had a problem with that as well but I thought better go to any service than nothing at all. 

The meltdown of all meltdowns occurred with that boy yesterday.  I have never seen anything like it from him, or really anywhere. Even Trump election win meltdowns with people busting their tv's had nothing on this boy's rage and anger.  That's the thing, he hasn't learned how to effectively deal with anger and so he just starts throwing things and going on a rampage - until someone forces him to stop anyway.  

The entire details are unnecessary, he didn't get he way about something so he started smashing his electric bike on the ground and after that was taken away, started smashing his helmet on the concrete as well.  This was while he was screaming in rage.  I don't mean a whine or a whisper, I mean absolute rage. It was a spectacle to behold.  

Anyway, it IS, indeed, supposed to rain later on today and tomorrow as well.  So, that makes me happy that the new park host got all 250 pounds of that seed up. I am going over after church and getting the spreader so I can apply the see to our front yard as well.  50 pounds is a nice, thick coating so that some of it will stick and the rest? Will wash into the neighbor's yard and they will have a nice coating of rye grass as well.

Aren't I generous? Well, sort of, it's just what happens when it rains. We are on a hill and some of that seed is going to go into the neighbor's yard.  The previous neighbor that lived there was unappreciative of it, she wanted all of her grass to die and just have a dirt front yard.  She couldn't afford to water the grass during the summer but mostly, she just didn't want to have to cut grass any more. ]

A dirt yard.  How unsightly.  Well, I took care of that unintentionally but I was happy to see her yard have a full, thick coating of grass : )

I don't know what the new neighbor who bought the previous neighbor's house feels about it, she's retired, seems to like to putt around the front and back yards and keep herself a little bit busy.  

Winter/rye grass is absolutely beautiful, dark green grass that grows easily and goes away just as easily.  The park host was talking about it, I said no, it doesn't last.  As soon  as it starts getting warm again - which is probably 6 months from now - it will die out. He got this look on his face, lol.  I do this every year, thank you. I can have brown lots, it looks bad.  

He doesn't appreciate the need, apparently, to keep the place looking as good as possible.  I mean, I don't really get it but whatever.  I'm running a business and RV parks - the good ones anyway - keep their properties very nice.  They hire crews to run around dealing with it on a continual basis.  It's an important part of the business which will lose you customers if you don't tend to it.  

I am probably going to go ahead and get some firewood again this year as well.  I have fire rings and no firewood.  Just a cord.   Not selling it, it will be for overnight guests free use only.  Others can buy it.  It got a bit ridiculous when I said people can have some free wood and one lady was actually loading up her car and taking it to another house. What? 

I've had some comments from overnighters wondering why I have fire rings but no firewood for sale.  A legitimate complaint, I guess, but people weren't using them.  Ok, some were, mostly they weren't being used. For the sake of keeping overnighters happy, I will have a cord out there - for sale - and they can use a wagon I will have sitting there to haul it to their lots.  Either that or just take them out of there.  I dunno.  It's listed on my sites that I have fire rings so I need to either have them with firewood for sale or get rid of them.
