The Ridge
On Monday, May 27th I was awake when Bill’s alarm went off. He’d been sound asleep and, as usual, I feel bad when he gets woken. His sleep is often interrupted on its own so when he sleeps, I let to let sleeping Bill lie. ♥ I rolled over and dozed off until 7 when I joined him downstairs. He made my tea and we chatted until he had to leave at 7:30. What a miserable day!
Good morning!
Bright and green and wet.
It’s not
cold, really, just damp and everything is very wet from overnight rain. It is
as we expected, so not surprised at all. Tomorrow is supposed to be the same. I’ll
need to fill bird feeders today, hmmm, I think the bucket is almost empty. Darn!
I should have picked some up in Hanover. I was really lazy all morning, playing
my games, reading and dozing in my recliner. At 11, I had to talk myself into
the shower I’d planned for today!
Gibbs had no interest in watching Mom purge
clothes
The rain
is off and on so not a wash out at all but Gibbs still doesn’t waste any time
when he goes out. The sky looks pretty ominous and he doesn’t want to get
rained on! After my shower, I purged a few more things from my closet and
drawers as Donna’s clothing exchange is on Saturday. I hope she has a good
turnout, it is a great way to switch up a wardrobe plus get clothes out and off
to a donation centre after the fact. ๐
The black clouds were worse off to the north
I made a
batch (7 servings) of steel cut oats for breakfasts over the coming week and
that was kind of my lunch. I did have some cashews, cheese and a keto butter
tart. The scales were being kind to me this morning, although neither Bill or I
put much faith in them. Wow! It is 1:10 and the sun and blue sky has just
appeared from the west. Thank you to whoever is sending it this way! We should
be able to get for a bit after all.
It was moving quickly and all
we got were spits here and there until
supper time.
I did
finish my book yesterday; The Island House was a good read. There is that box
of mysteries in the Bunky, so since the rain took a break, we went out and I
brought in three James Patterson books. ๐ I had Madame IP boil 3 eggs for egg salad sandwiches for
Bill. That will be nice for a change and now it means to add that grocery item
on my new list. Gibbs and I walked down to get the mail, just a Canadian Tire
flyer, and then came in for a cup of tea.
obviously, I wasn't outside enough to
take many pictures.
I dug out
my yarn to crochet something, since we’re stuck indoors. Bill was home by 5 and
the rain returned about 10 minutes before he drove up the lane. At least I don’t
have to get water from our pails or rain barrel to water. Often there are
bonuses if you just look for them. For supper, I baked a large chicken breast
to share, boiled a couple of potatoes for Bill and a vegetable for each of us.
Supper was quite tasty
Bill had some of the rhubarb crisp for dessert.
We
reached a high of 18C/65F so a couple of windows brought fresh air in. It was a
quiet day, no running – anywhere! I loved that. I hope you’ve had a good day
and accomplished something, even if it was just relaxing. ๐
Another one of the sweet little memes.
"Woman's best friend".
good night!
Thank you
for popping in.
We have not been enjoying the best of weather here. I am happy that we managed to get a couple of coats on the trellis and Harvey added some lighting to the top. I hope to have another coat added and the kiwi vine planted tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSupper looks awesome. And when it is blah outside staying in and doing a project is awesome.
God bless.
I think we're all in the same boat, with cooler weather returning here too. Your trellis sounds nice, I'm sure you'll post pictures when it is all done. :)
DeleteNice to accomplish anything when the weather doesn't cooperate.
ReplyDeleteSupper looks tasty.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
You're right, inside or outside. :)
DeleteRain makes everything nice and green. Dinner looks good and Gibbs looks so cute on your bed!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the rain..........it also makes grass grow and we're cutting again! Ha ha, the circle of life, eh?
DeleteThe icky weather makes us appreciate the great weather so much more Sheila
ReplyDeleteThat's my positive girl! You're absolutely right! ♥
DeleteI love the rain ... it's my excuse to stay inside and do nothing! LOL
ReplyDeleteHa ha, but you can't sit idle for long! I know you. :)
DeleteThe rain keeps everything lush and green but interrupts our plans. We had a nice day yesterday, but the clouds rolled in and threatened rain most of the day. We didn't get more than a few spits.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a few of our days here too! Why not just rain overnight and give us warm dry days? What a complainer, I am!
DeleteLoving all the green. Patti
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are.............I know how brown it is there. :)
