Dad facing surgery.

My dad is choosing to have surgery done to him to stabilize his neck. I don't know when this will happen.
Today, during a break in the rain, I laid down many leaves on the weeds in the garden and broke the pumpkins I accidentally left on the porch too long and they froze. Sprinkled slug bait. Now I will continue removing by hand every single marked indent I should have let the computer do on Circumnavigation.
