The Ridge
On Tuesday, Sept. 13th were all up by 6:30 and Bill was soon saying goodbye and off to work. He took Ptooties today because of the distance he was driving. I had my first cup of tea and then at 7:15 I drove into Durham to clean. Kaitlyn was going to meet me there but I wasn’t sure why. I hope I’m not getting canned! š
Boy, I think I was half asleep here
but it's all about the love š
He sat here on my lap when Daddy left for
about 15 minutes
Just a little love bug
It was a
cool morning but felt much cooler inside the Suite. I wore shorts because it is
so hot in the Mat. I also stripped the bed sheets and duvet cover as they
needed to be washed while I was in there. I was done my hour shift and folding
my sheets around 8:45 when I thought I should touch base with Kaitlyn. I’d
expected her before I left. She walked in 5 minutes later.
Vegetable soup and Triscuits
It was
after 9 when we parted ways and I went first to Foodland for milk and then to
the bank for Bill. I was home by 9:45 and made a coffee. I remade the bed and
wrestled with the duvet and cover but eventually came out the winner. I know
everyone has a trick to doing that but for me it is a lot of tossing and
turning, pulling and tugging, not to mention the words uttered in the process.
We walked out the lane and I
saw this beautiful cloud
Looks like a "Poof!"
It would
probably have been funny had you been a fly on the wall, watching. It is easier
when Bill is here to help and I could have waited but………didn’t. Gibbs wanted to
help but when I said ‘hold this’, he didn’t quite grasp what I meant. ♥ I felt cool inside, even after the tousle in the bedroom, so made a bowl
of vegetable soup with crackers for my lunch. That hit the spot and seemed to
warm me up a bit.
Gibbs didn't see Chippy or he'd have dragged
me across the front ditch
I did
change into long pants and a sweater before Gibbs and I went for our walk. At
the corner, the German shepherd and boxer barked their fool heads off and I’m not
sure how strong that door is that the shepherd is jumping up on so we turned
back for home. I shook the mats and dust mopped the floors and then went to the
garden to check out my garden fare.
What can I say?
The clouds speak for themselves
There were a lot of tomatoes which surprises me because the plants themselves look pretty weak and unhealthy. I gathered more than my hand could hold so cupped them in my shirt, the way I remember collecting apples in my youth! š I might have to make something with them since Bill doesn’t eat the little ones, not even in a salad.
With a
cup of tea, second of the day, I sat and began my post for the day. We have a
long day tomorrow, both off work, heading in to London to meet our new doctor.
Ours moved from general practice to geriatrics in nursing homes so this will be
a first-time visit. Gibbs will be going along for the day as well, so he’ll be happy
not to be left at home.
I was checking for apples in our tree at the end of
the lane
Not too many this year but a robin found a prime spot
for her home
Today's harvest
I decided
on a simple supper tonight after last night’s ‘gourmet’ meal. Ha ha. Pancakes
and bacon. I know Bill will be happy with that when I tell him. ♥ It is just the right amount when I halve the recipe and with butter and local
maple syrup, we were full. Well, we did have room for a couple of pieces of guilt-free
fudge. š
His favourite spot
It has
been a funny day for weather, cool, not getting above 18C/66F all day. I know
that sounds warm but with the cool air and cloudy skies most of the afternoon,
it felt cooler than that. We sure can tell that fall is around the corner, and
I think we’re all experiencing the same thing. This has been another nice day
with a couple of hours of running around this morning.

I’ve typed up a list for Kaitlyn and Sage to
follow. It lists my routine, the order of laundromat chores. They can switch it
up if they want but Kaitlyn was happy for the gesture. We watched some tv
tonight and made a list for Costco for tomorrow.
Good night!
Thank you
for popping in.
Sew ties on the corners of your duvet and the inside of the cover. Turn the cover inside out, tie the first two corners and turn it right side out as you work it on. Come on now Patsy, you can do it!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm not so much for changing the bed either. I always hit my head. I'm settling for a fitted sheet and blankets just laid over the top. Plus I can make them last longer by sleeping on both sides. One of the perks of being single! LOL
ReplyDeleteHence the reason I have a comforter rather than a duvet on my bed. Too much trouble, lol!
ReplyDeleteYou do make fluffy looking pancakes, just the way I like them. Sigh. And another sigh, because 66 degrees sounding warm is what I look forward too just after dawn, when it's at its coolest around here....66 is a great way to start the day In TX.
