Wild and Windy but Warm

The Ridge

On Saturday, Apr. 27^th Bill and Gibbs didn’t get up until almost 6:30. So they tell me. I never paid much attention in my still half-asleep slumber. 😊 I didn’t get up until almost 7:30. For some reason my sleep was not normal for me. I was awake a few times, maybe too warm, and my legs seemed restless. Bill, on the other hand, seemed to sleep very well so that’s good.

Last night the sky was spooky
but still pretty.
Good morning!

It was a cloudy day from the very beginning until around 5:30 when the sun pushed through some of the clouds. “Here I am!” it seemed to be screaming. It was a mild day, once we got to mid-afternoon, reaching 18C/64F for a high. The wind was crazy though and our shelter cover I just flopping away. The rains came mostly for the morning, not too heavy but enough to get wet.

On our way to Hanover, 20 minute drive

We drove back to Hanover today with a stop first in Giant Tiger to check out their 35%/whipping cream price and I bought a half quart size with an 18% size. They don’t have that last one in the U.S., no where I could find. Strange. I like the thicker/ higher fat content cream in my coffee because unlike many (most?) I don’t LOVE the taste of coffee. It needs to be doctored, then I like it. 😊

Just hanging out while the water transferred
into the Suite

Our only other place to stop today was at Healthy Computers to pick up my laptop. Yay! I was excited since Tim told me he’d put in a solid-state drive and it was incredibly fast. For $200, it was a quick and easy fix so we were thrilled. Thank you to a commenter, KennyD, for that suggestion. I knew when you commented that it was what Tim told me on the phone but I couldn't remember what he called it. Worth the money, for sure.

The view over the pond.
It will change considerably over the next
month.

Back home, it was raining still so we hung inside for the most part. I’d finished my book so needed to find a new one. Of course, I tested my laptop and Bill just laughed as I continuously exclaimed (purposely exaggerated with hand gestures) “wow!” I was grateful for the use of his HP last night as it is always very fast. I’m also happy not to have to break in a new laptop. Bonus! 😊

Gibbs love the outdoors
so we were happy the rain stopped earlier
than we first thought. 

We had lunch and Bill went out to the Hangar to putter on his Cub. I stayed inside with Gibbs and while he pined for Daddy, I worked on my cross stitch for a couple of hours. It’s looking hopeful but still a lot to do. I'm sure I won't get it done this summer.

Thank goodness for the vision aid with the funky glasses, it is too small to easily see the stitches let alone count where they go.

The sun is powerful and so is the wind.
One is responsible for the late day clearning. 😉

At 4:30, Bill went to the Acreage to put the filter in and turn the pump on. He also got a bladder full of water although we still had 45 gallons. Nice to have our water source available to us again now that the overnight temperatures will be above freezing. Thank you to Rob and Pat for the water we got a couple of times to tide us over. ♥

Okay, time to get serious.
No potatoes for me.

For supper, I baked pork chops, cooked a potato and corn for Bill and some sprouts for me. It was very good. By the time dishes were cleared, the clouds were bumped completely out of the way and we were sitting at a lovely 19C/67F. Our overnight low was going to be 14C/58F, wow! 

Today was better than this shows,
maybe they'll be wrong tomorrow too.
Doubt it but....

This has been a good day  even though we weren’t working outside. We take each day as it comes. PS - it's like a have a new computer, I'd forgotten how swift one should be!

for my coffee loving friends
Enjoy!
Good night!
(and within 15 minutes, my blog is done and posted!)
Happy Dance!

Thank you for the visit.
