The Ridge
Be careful what you wish for, right? So, before I get into today, Wednesday, July 8th, I'll tell you that Bill worked next door for 2 1/2 hours before coming home. In order to paint, there are a few minor holes that needed patching and that's what he did in one of the main rooms.

| Good morning! I noticed this strange sky last night out our southeast facing windows |
I was watching a movie, what the heck was it called? Anyway, he went straight up to bed and we left all windows open, even the outside door. Because of the heat, although a nice breeze in my window, Bill was stretched out on his back which meant snoring. I wouldn't wake him after his full day. Let him sleep.
 |
| Wasn't sure what was over there. Our radar didn't show anything but a little green blip so I sat back down. |
It was easy to pop my ear plugs in but I still lie there quiet until 12:30. I wasn't as tired as I thought. He was up and gone with Black Beauty today by 6:45. He had some metal to take to Mike's for a former co-worker.
It turned into this pretty sky
Bill is at that house next door
in the top picture.
I relaxed this morning but decided early to close windows and turn the a/c on, even though it was quite nice this morning. Robin texted at 8 that our guests had checked out, bonus, so at 8:30, I took my coffee and drove to Williamsford.
3 gardens with Moonflowers
this morning.
Wow!
Question of the day:
This is the second time I've
seen this baby raccoon sleeping
in the middle of the road on
BCR.
My heart wouldn't let me drive by.
I stopped for at least 10 minutes
trying to coax it with my phone tripod,
our Club. Finally, I succeeded
but the mosquitoes were eating me
alive! Sweet little thing but I
didn't want to pick it up for
obvious reasons.
Bill said tonight that he also saw
it when he went to work.
Respectful guests make a huge difference and will get a nice review from their host. No issues at all, 2 queen beds where they slept 'between' the sheets! Imagine that! 🤭 As a commentor said, it means the duvet/quilt etc. doesn't need to be washed as often.
offered her but it took a
while! Hope she isn't
back in the morning! I don't want her
to get run over. 😟
When I left, I messaged Robin with my hours and an update on what was used. I wasn't home long and she asked about tomorrow as well. It has been a good week for me, socking away $. 👍
I drove directly to Dot and Gord's and removed the lunch meat she told me to take. It wouldn't be any good for the length of time they're away. We will eat it so it doesn't go to waste and/or put it in the freezer. Waste not, want not!
Driving in, then I saw this.
Where did that come from so
fast!? No eggs but we don't
need to move it.
With my folding table still rolled up, we have clear access to the back window. They weren't bad but I noticed they could use a wipe. I took the time and washed all of them on the inside. Since I wasn't doing anything productive, why not?
Close access for cleaning
windows.
Back home, I didn't feel like getting the mower out, there is so little to do, so stayed in with Gibbs and finished my Reacher book. Oh my, such an intriguing story right to the end. So true to Alan Richardson, the character who plays the part on the tv program.

| Gibbs has nests of his own and that's where he went when we were outside. |
After lunch, with some of that meat, we went outside. Gibbs found shade and within minutes, I thought it was a good idea. LOL Such a wimp! Instead, I spray painted my 'new to me' frame for my sign and then staked up my sprawling Flowering Raspberry bush.
My next puzzle
Nope, it doesn't look like this!
🤷♀️
Time for a puzzle! Gibbs didn't want to be inside, nor in the Bunky with me, so nestled back in his dog-made beds under the Suite - and slept. It must be comfy and cool under there. 😍 The puzzle I'm starting is a 500 pc. mystery one. You don't know what the picture is.
 |
| I got a good start on it. It was cooler in the Bunky than outside with 2 open windows. One facing north and one facing west with a lovely breeze. |
I read the story that came with it and set to work until 4:30. I want a cup of tea but will probably end up feeling hot after drinking it. Oh well, with the a/c running, I'm doing it! Bill texted saying he would be late tonight. That means they are likely trying to finish a particular job.
Very messy
but good. I finished it
using a knife and fork.
He was home by 5:45 and had stopped at Walmart in Hanover to pick up a few things we were running out of. I had burgers in the electric frypan half done by the time he walked in the door. I didn't add bacon but added cheese and they were quite yummy. Mine was messier than usual, eating it in a large lettuce leaf. 🫣
Time for a snooze so
Gibbs gets in position near
his Daddy.
💘
I cleaned up the pan and he made his lunch for tomorrow. It will be an 'iffy' day, depending on the weather. They did finish the job they were doing on a house in Wingham. He decided to stay put tonight rather than go next door and I fully support him taking a break.
We reached 27.78C/82F with barely a breeze. There should be a bit of a cool down tomorrow with a 50% possibility of some rain. We'll have to wait and see! Seems like we're all having different weather, not only from the far west of the U.S. but to the upper west and east of Canada too.

I had a great day. Thank you for your visit.
