I got the spare bedroom cleared out enough for guests, bed changed (it hadn’t been slept in since the bedding was last laundered, but it made me feel better to redo it). Between Gary and I, we got the room vacuumed, dusted, mopped, and the gross window track cleaned. There is still a tremendous lot … Continue reading
Oh, why didn’t I take a photo of little Joey? I groomed one of my favourite poodle mixes today, and was so enthused to meet up with his owner for brunch that I forgot to get a pic. I will add an older one from the main computer later. Kim from Crescent Spur and I … Continue reading
Hey, we have some. It’s only for two horses, 120 bales, but we feel so good about getting dry hay in the barn at last. You could say that we each hefted no less than 600 pounds twice today, loading and unloading, based on the smallest bales being 50 pounds or more. Gary does the … Continue reading
The dog always greets us in the morning like she hasn’t seen us for a week. I guess most dogs are like that. One of my good friends said to me after they tragically lost their border collie, “Buddy was our first dog. We are both struggling with the loss. We never quit being astonished … Continue reading
This tiny mite came for grooming this morning. I love visiting with her owner and we always have a lively chat, trying to catch up on everything quickly. I’ve quickly put together a lunch for Gary … the last of the tourtiere and some homemade cornbread. I can’t think of what I want. A couple … Continue reading
Let’s not complain about the heat now, shall we? I’m hiding from mosquitoes, but I did a modicum of work outdoors on this dry, sunny day. I moved a bunch of rocks that were well past my comfortable limit, then hoed a little of the chickweed that flourished in the four days we were away … Continue reading
Dog and I had a lovely car ride to a community I used to call home. My first destination was Dunster General Store, where I found waffle cones (a box full), frozen unbaked sausage rolls, and frozen phyllo dough. As I hadn’t seen Bonnie Culp for many months, we turned in there. It is always … Continue reading
We’ve had a breakfast … it was a sort of eggs Benedict without the Hollandaise. Oh, okay, that’s poached eggs with ham on toast. 🤷🏼♀️ Gary and I were surprised to note that, a week ago, we were with our beloved Nelson family. There are no big plans for my day. Before we ate this … Continue reading
I had cravings, we have garden vegetables … Ginger Beef Schwartz-style, Pork Sweet ‘n’ Sour with vegetables (broccoli, yellow zucchini and carrots), plain steamed rice. I like eating at the Kilin restaurant in town, aka “Raymond’s”, and I love being treated to take-out, but we are happily eating from the garden these days. After Snowy … Continue reading
I awoke to pouring rain again today. Gary says it rained off and on all night. “Dammit”, we both say. Forecast after tomorrow is for better weather. Perhaps some hay will be harvested locally. I was dreaming that I double-booked myself for grooming (which I did, for today), and forgot to write someone down for … Continue reading
