Pretty sure I have never said that to another human, but I had cause to think or exclaim it while bothered by a select few insects (or arachnids … wait for it) this week. A few evenings ago, I was dozing in Gary’s chair when I felt an odd sensation on my right arm. To … Continue reading
Now it seems like some kind of miracle, or at least a bit of luck, that we had a day dry enough to mow the lawn. It took many hours to dry enough even in the high spots, and then for me to have the energy in the late afternoon/evening was also unusual. That was … Continue reading
Best thing about Tuesday is that it’s not Monday. I don’t have a 9 to 5 job, nor is my work a monotonous grind, but it always seems like there’s less pressure after Monday. 🤷🏼♀️ I often refer to my work on the first weekday as “digging out from the weekend”, because Sunday night is … Continue reading
So far so good! I slept in until after 7 am, though I had wakened at 5, let the dog out for awhile, then we both went back to bed. Now everyone is fed, watered and reassured and I am drinking coffee and chatting with you. At this time, the canine boarding contingent is Carly, … Continue reading
After Gary left on his vacation, I set up the “garlic dehydrator”. The aroma can be overwhelming, but I have been trying to declutter pretty much everywhere, including the freezers. If successful, there will be more room for this season’s bounty from the garden. Always delicious, I had roasted, chopped and frozen garlic cloves in … Continue reading
I volunteered to “do” baked potatoes for my friend’s send-off tomorrow. Actually, it was consent to a direct request, not something I had offered. The mission was to buy and bake and deliver 15 pounds, but in the end, the Evangelical Free Church in McBride took over the catering of the dinner. The friend who … Continue reading
Yesterday was a lovely day. By breakfast time, about 7:30, I had coffee made, and all the furry four-legged guests fed, and breakfast orchestrated (okay, it was only eggs, potato smash, and toast). Gary had to work, and I went to a yard sale. Look what I scored for my husband, who had mentioned wanting … Continue reading
The explanation will be anti-climactic. Gary and I are back in our “places” … me (with Cinder) on the couch and he in his recliner chair (the one he said we didn’t need but I bought for him anyway). We love our evening TV watching and we’re not apologetic about it, even if, even though … Continue reading
No particular reason I say, “Happy Wednesday”, but you know that I find blog post titles a bit challenging, if only for a moment. On the other hand, I woke up this morning full of cheer and optimism, which is my usual style. It’s not a bright day outside, but I have enough work, our … Continue reading
Aagh… we’ve had enough rain. The level of water in our unused well is at an all-time high and we wish we could share. The yard is soggy. It’s gloomy and oppressive, but better than having not enough precipitation. Still, farmers need to put up hay soon, so that’s worrisome. I have many rainy-day projects … Continue reading
