I'm Not Sure what Season This is!

The Ridge

On Saturday, May 31st we were up and moving by 7. I was last to crawl out of bed. I'm really having doubts that this is the last day of a spring month. Seems more like the beginning according to the weather. We keep saying 'we have 2 more cool days and then we're good'. Ha! I'm saying it again though. Once we get through today and tomorrow, we are GOOD! 😄


Good morning!
Last night's pre-sunset.

It was dull, cold, windy and damp and obvious to Bill and the boys that they were not flying this morning. Too bad, with only 2 days on a weekend. Hopefully tomorrow, even though cold again, they can at least get together for coffee. They all enjoy each other's company. I only had a 9:30 commitment so took my time getting moving. Bill dressed for winter (almost!) and hopped on the mower to cut the front field.

Bill had his peanut butter and cheese sandwich
I had my cream cheese, cinnamon tortilla wraps. Yum!

I left for M's to see what another 2 hours would do for his tenant. Brian hadn't arrived yet so Julie and I had a talk before I even started. Since I didn't get paid yesterday, I asked her if she had cash to pay us before we even started. She did and after a bit of discussion, her saying it shouldn't be up to her to pay us, blah blah, she said she had a lady friend coming to help and she didn't need our help. 👍

It doesn't look bad out there
except for the temperature.

I couldn't grab my $40 fast enough and get out! No, not really. I wasn't rude, just shook her hand, wished her luck and left after saying goodbye to M. I hope she is out, with all her stuff, before this evening as the new tenant could be there early. M did call later and ask if I could clean for a couple of hours in the morning, if necessary. I said yes.

The grass is cut until the next time.
Right now, it is twice a week.

Bill was still in the front field, since I'd only been gone about 15 minutes and it had started to spit lightly. I cleaned up the cut branches from yesterday so he could cut in that area too before doing our 'lawn' in front of the patio. Except for a few small areas that I can do with my mower, the Ridge is cut. 

Gibbs is happy

Mom is happy and
we know Dad is happy too!

The sun made a few appearances this afternoon and Bill worked away down at the Hangar. Gibbs was in and out but mostly inside. So was I. I felt some soreness this morning after crawling around on the ground cutting branches yesterday so was grateful to relax today. You know what I did, I'm sure. More quilling and loving every minute! 😍

Supper was delicious!
Funny how I love the chops now with
a coating on them.

For supper, we had baked pork chops, baked fingerling potatoes and our vegetable. There were strawberries for dessert so I had mine with cream, as usual. That was another Sunday night meal on a Saturday. We cleaned up the few dishes and since I had Youtube music videos on all afternoon, we watched one of the BeeGees that we love so much we have the dvd of it. 

Fresh strawberries and cream

This has been a great day, weather aside. The relaxing day was good for me, any pain I felt this morning, subsided before lunch. 💘 We won't go there other than to say it will be another cool night. We only reached 11C/52F today and dropping to 3C/37F overnight. I hope your weekend has started off okay too.

Good night!

Thank you for stopping by.

  1. Brrr, you certainly are much cooler there than here. Temperatures are supposed to drop a bit, and I wonder if with the drop the smoke will clear out.
    Your supper looks lovely.

    God bless.

  2. YES!!! Great day off for you!! :)) Where was her friend yesterday to help her pack things? HMM
    Your yard looks wonderful - even the clouds look good to me! Very hot and sunny here in Az.
    Gibbs sure keeps his eyes on you ~ sure are fun to have around! Miss my little dog.
    Hope you get some warm weather soon.

    1. Thank you Payson48. I was grateful for the day. Exactly that! about her friend. Turns out her 'friend' wasn't feeling good and didn't show up. LOL
      I'm sure the clouds would be welcome in Az with that heat.
      I hate to think of the day we won't have a dog but it will come........a long time away, I hope.

  3. Yay for getting paid. Really, she didn't think SHE should pay to move HER stuff out? I'll trade you two clouds for two hours of 101 degrees!! I think I feel a need for pork chops coming on!

    1. Exactly! Something isn't working upstairs (in her brain) to even think that. She had every excuse in the book for not packing sooner too.
      No, we don't want 101 degrees but I'm sure like Payson48, clouds would make you smile.
