The Ridge
On Thursday, July 10th I was up to get and give my goodbye kiss at 6:30. Bill had been up since 5 and had his shower this morning before work. It was going to be a hot day so I can foresee another one tonight or tomorrow morning!

Gibbs and I stayed in bed until 7 and did 'our' exercises before getting up. A shower was on my agenda too but first, my tea. I played my games early.......I think, geesh! I had a few things in my mind to do so started with purging.
My summer top drawer is brimming so it is time to weed through the ones that I'm not pulling out too much. I find that I have been wearing the same ones over and over because they land on top after laundry. I changed that and used Lori's tip to make them all visible and accessible. 😀
Then I went to the closet. I didn't make as much of a dent there since I do interchange these tops more often. Also, these things all fit well, look good and serve a purpose for different scenarios. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

| I needed to sit in the shade before I went inside. I can't believe how hot it got! |
I wanted to start the Manitoba quilling project but didn't have enough 5mm strips of white, so instead I went out and cut the grass. It was only 9 but boy, was it hot already! It was 16C/64F but felt very stifling with no breeze.
Gibbs and I walked to the mailbox.
Watch out for goose poop!
That's the only reason I'm happy when they fly off.
I finished my area, including in and around the screen tent, and then cut further down the corral hill before collapsing in my shaded chair. Then, I showered in lukewarm water. Yes! That felt great. I had some lunch and then got my quilling out.
I went online at Amazon.ca to order more white strips and a couple of other things. They will arrive tomorrow and that is with no charge shipping. How can I turn that down? At 2:30, Gibbs and I walked for the mail and then I drove in to town.

| Patsy, Patsy, how does your garden grow? Today, I noticed more tomatoes. Things are looking better after the rains. |
A quick stop at Robin's to check out her sales shed and then I drove to Pat's for 'tea'. Tea is actually just our code word for 'visit' as today, in particular, was too hot for a cup of tea. 😂 We had a great visit for an hour and a half before I headed out.

| Not missing an opportunity, just in case, Gibbs hops into the truck while Bill cleans up the back seat. |
Poor Bella has a reason to visit the vet tomorrow, so I hope the little sweetheart is okay. I didn't get pictures, too busy visiting! It was great to see them both and catch up. Rob's presence is certainly missed when I'm in their house, but I know he's there in other ways. 💗
Bill was home vacuuming out Black Beauty. She is being used for some wood toting and ended up covered in sawdust today. It took him until 6 o'clock (he was at it before 5!) to get her cleaned out. Supper was bbq'd chops, potatoes for him and cauliflower for me.
 |
| Supper was good. |
I opened a bottle of wine, Sparkling White, and it tastes like wine. I didn't feel dopey afterwards so that makes me feel really good about my purchases. It is very humid outside again, no breeze and a hot sun.
 |
| The 0.5% alcohol may not appeal to many but that and the 0 sugar sold it for me! And I can still have a glass of wine with dinner or with you! |
It was a great day with my visit with Pat being the highlight. The next 3 days will be hot and busy, busy, busy so it's time to rest now! Bill went out to cut the front field, the man never stops. 😍 We reached a high of 29C/85F with a humidex feeling of 35C/95F.
 |
| It's the best part of the day to cut, well, he doesn't have much of a choice right now. Good night! |
Thank you for YOUR visit.
