The Ridge
On Monday, June 1st Bill was up at 6 with Gibbs and remained downstairs to get ready for work. I got up just before 7 and got ready as well. I left the Suite with our chair quilts and big towels for the Mat. There were two customers in and boy was the place a mess!

| Good morning! This is up on the berm where my clothesline is. Last night, after supper, I watched a fox with a white tipped tail walked casually through here. |
I think the 'dog' people were back again. Dryer sheets, loose socks, papers, overflowing recycle bin with lots of garbage in it. I had to run 3 washing machines just to clean them and then run 2 others that had notes on them 'out of order'. LOL
 |
| If the day wasn't bright enough, Nancy's (our) quilts change that. We love them! |
They weren't out of order, the one door wasn't closed tight and the other was questionable. The $ was in and it was left. Too bad someone else wasn't there to use it up. I just pushed Start and away it went - empty.
 |
| When I came back from town, I noticed Bill had glued our sign back together after my oopsie. I might need to touch up a spot on the left with my paint. 💖 |
I left there by 8:30 and came straight home to Gibbs. The day was turning out quite lovely and I was hopeful to get out later. We stayed indoors until noon though, I worked on my quilling and we went out after I ate lunch.
 |
| I easily run out of ideas for lunch but today fried zucchini, half sandwich and feta cheese was it. |
I pulled the pecans (pee-cahns) out of the freezer and took containers out to shell them in the sun. I was flabbergasted that there were no 'you-know-whats'. Sssh. I had sprayed with my girlfriend's homemade bug spray but it doesn't usually do the trick.

| Me at the picnic table enjoying the sun. Gibbs on the step, Security, enjoying the shade. |
Gibbs sat under my chair for a while then moved to the shaded steps until he went inside. I carried on and the crushed the shells for mulch in my garden bags. Then, I sat and enjoyed the heat for a while. Finally! I thought to myself.
Let's go get the mail!
He's all gung ho until we get to the lane.
Then there is too much to smell
and he slows right down.

I wanted to sort through my gifted papers so I knew what I had and took them all out to the Bunky. Donna makes her own greeting cards in a different form so I've offered her some paper, whatever she needs/wants. This way, I can show her easily what I have.
I love our gate flags.
It just finishes it all off.
Gibbs and I walked for the mail, which was just a Canadian Tire flyer, but a nice walk. He poked along and waited in the shade until I rejoined him.

| This black pipe is for the water pump. Bill shortened the stretch this year even more than last year. Still needs something, he'll probably take it in to get it checked out. |
I came in for my tea and it seems the bugs were making an appearance. I stayed inside, it was after 4 and soon time for Bill to return.
I'm really feeling positive about
this location for my vegetables.
They are getting a lot of sun, and then mid-
afternoon, they are getting natural shade.
I wonder if a rain barrel up there would make
my life even easier? 🤔
Would it get enough rain.........hmmm.
It was closer to 5 when he pulled in. For supper, we had Italian meatballs, rice, a vegetable and some homemade sauce from Sharon May. It has been in the freezer and was the perfect amount. It was a yummy meal!
Supper.......I really enjoyed it!
We cleaned up the pots and Bill made his lunch before running the dishwasher. Today, we reached a perfect high of 21C/70F with clear blue sky and respectable wind. I didn't have to bring Bill's flag down. 😉 I quite enjoyed the day.
A couple more cards finished.
I need to write a short message on
the front. One for a birthday
and one for a wedding, maybe?
Good night!
Thank you for your comments re Marlene. I hope Benno gets a chance to see all your condolences. Thank you for your visit today too.
