They Weren't Wrong, Storms all Around Us?

The Ridge

On Thursday, May 29th I saw Bill off with a kiss at 6:30 and crawled back into bed until 7:30. Why get up that early when i don't have to, right? I had my tea and debated about a shower but just washed instead. Gibbs and I walked about to check plants, they look like they are standing taller, and put in time. 

The rain was doing wonders and my Swiss
Chard seemed to be standing up after the critter
dug it up. The sprouts were also stretching. 😆

I bought a set of hand grips for Lila as the others are falling apart so went to put them on. I'm going to have to cut these shorter but they will be good, for $1.50. Ha! We came inside and I made a coffee to take with me for M's run into town. Yesterday was too early (he had to be home at 10) to get his beer so today will get that and groceries. 😉

One of my commenters mentioned
how green everything looks on a dull
day. I can't deny that things sure
are greening up!

It pretty much takes us an hour, of which I usually just sit in the car and wait. Today, I took the opportunity to run into Foodland with him and got - you guessed it - toothpicks! Plus a loaf of the Carbonaut 9 gr/slice bread. It is expensive but I want to eat bread and this is the cost for that desire. There is so much other stuff we buy that I don't partake in so it balances out.

Back home, although it had been spitting on and off for the whole drive, it had stopped. That meant Gibbs' run out to piddle was extended by the security duty, sitting on the porch steps. The winds are pretty minimal today which makes it an okay day. I think we only reached 15C/58F but it felt quite mild. 😊

I'm happy to see my Moonflowers
in this garden are starting.
I separated 30 plants last fall to take to my
sisters so this was a relief!

I started a new book called Shadow Creek by Joy Fielding but I'm not sure if it will turn my crank. The prologue was a bit of a shocker and yet somehow not a surprise. We'll see. At noon, I made a tasty ham, cheese and lettuce sandwich on my seeded bread. That bread is so fresh and I am so pleased with it. I bought the plain white today so I hope it is as good.

Gibbs and I walked to get the mail.
There was just the local paper
but it was worth the walk.
Bill and I do the crossword and scramble in it.
Look at those clouds.

After lunch, I got my quilling out. When it warms up, I'll get out in the She-shed and start a puzzle but I want it to be nice enough for Gibbs to be out and about too. No point in starting one until it is comfortable for both of us to be out. I worked away until Bill called that he was on his way home and was going straight to the Acreage for water. I actually remembered that this morning, although I often forget his plans. 😗

Waiting at the gate for me.
He is such a good little guy. 💕

He was home by 6 and I started supper while he transferred it into the Suite's tank. The sky all around us (and over us) is filled with heavy black/dark gray clouds. Someone is either getting dumped on or about to have that happen. We'll likely get it overnight to make way for a partial cloudy/sunny day.

My short irises at the outhouse
and the Bunky/She-shed
are such a beautiful dark purple.

Temperatures still have not settled, a few days in the mid-teens (50's), overnights around single digits (low 40's) and then we get a warm up this coming week. Rosy, our air fryer, cooked the sausages for us and I nuked my pepper squash. Bill had his in a bun, which looked very good but I've been 'under the wagon' (I didn't just fall off!) for a few days so need to smarten up. 😉I cut strawberries for dessert, still a natural sweetness but better than ice cream! 💖 

These pictures take you all around us.
North, south, east.

Thank you, Nancy, for your chat about my Microsoft issue but I do think I'll abandon it for now and take it to Adam at Healthy Computers when I can. I'm typing directly into my blog now and that seems fine. Our supper was very good, with strawberries and cream for dessert, and while eating it we watched the finale of The Floor. Very happy with the result. 👏

Sausage, squash and pickles

The rain has been off and on since Bill got back with the water, the sun came out and disappeared again behind heavy clouds. There was talk about seeing some of the Northern Lights after sunset but I'm sure that isn't going to happen. This was a good day, regardless of weather and tomorrow is going to be a pretty busy one to end the week. Cha-ching!

On this note, I'll say goodnight and
keep watching for those lights!
Good night!

Thank you for your pop in today.
