Rambling and Another Card

I've decided to take a chance and see what others think of my blog.  I was going to put a link to it on my FB page but decided that wouldn't give me any control on who sees it.  Guess I'm just not sure I want my thoughts to be out there for everyone to see so will start small and just give the link to people who ask for it.
So far, that has been a whole 1 person.  But it has only been mentioned on my FB page for a little while so we'll see if I get more interest.
I honestly don't know why anyone would be interested in this old biddy's thoughts and ramblings though.
My niece asked me what my theme is - I guess I could say that my theme is no theme at all.  Like the title suggests, it's only the ramblings of my wandering mind.
If you are one of the fortunate(?) ones who have been granted egress into my ramblings, welcome to my madness.

Yesterday there was a heat warning for most of Saskatchewan but as usual I hadn't done more to see what the weather was like than look out the window.  Looked like a good day to finally get around to mowing the lawn.  Luckily for me, the warning was pretty much over by the time I got out there around 4 pm.  I walked out the door to a blast from the furnace but just thought it was because the house is air conditioned and proceeded with the task at hand.  I was pretty sweaty by the time I was done about 4 hours later.  You heard right, I did say 4 hours.  Note to self: do not leave the mowing until the lawn is so overgrown.  I had to mow it twice and three times in some places - once with the blade at it's highest setting and the mower at its slowest speed (it's a riding mower), then again with the blade on a lower setting but still mostly at slow speed.  Finally, I got to rev it up and put it into 3rd gear and zoomed around catching the little bits I missed.  (that's when it got to be fun!)
I must be learning as I only conked my head on the trees 3 times.  Good thing I have a hard skull! 
I need to figure out how to cut branches off the trees as some of them are getting too low to mow under without fighting them off.  Tomorrow I have to get out and mow the front and side.  I really dread having to do this as I'm afraid to get too close to the edge of the boulevard (the mower almost tipped me off a couple times thus the dread).  Also the tree in the front is such a pain with its low hanging branches!  I usually come back into the house with at least a couple scratches from the branches.  The joys of having a double lot on a corner!
I have a wonderful neighbour who has decided that he needs to mow the lawn in front of the house for me so I don't have to worry about that part.
I've been trying to make the town pay for harassing me about the lawn.  They send out a registered letter giving me a date it has to be done by and I get it done by then thus avoiding a fine.  This all started because I have a strong dislike for the town by-law enforcer and has been going on since last summer.  When I think about it rationally, I realize that I'm really not hurting him or the town (except for his time in making a formal complaint to the town and they in turn take the time and money to send me a registered letter).  Kind of makes me look like the fool here doesn't it?  Maybe it's time to find another way to harass him - any ideas?

Now, just because I feel like putting something I think is pretty on my page today, here is another card I made.

I can't claim any artistic talent in the making of this card as I only watercoloured a stamped image.  I was quite happy with the result enough to give it to my dearest friend for her birthday.

Thinking about watercolouring, which is correct - watercolour or water colour? they both are correct according to the spell checker until I add ed or ing to it.  Then I get that irritating red line under the word.  What do you think?

I'll sign off  for today - it is getting hard to type around a Majik who wants my full attention.
Toodleoo and watch out for low hanging branches!
