A Bit of This, That and Some Prepping

 The Ridge

On Thursday, June 12th (already!!) after another great sleep, I got up before Bill left. Bill said it was a close call when he took Gibbs out at 6. He didn't see it until the little started running towards a skunk. He stopped, after 3 calls, and returned as the critter, tail up, stalked off into the long grass over the hill. Phew!

Good morning!
(that could have been not so good)
Not 'the' skunk but it was
a close call.

I started out with nothing on my agenda but that soon changed. I had my tea with Gibbs beside me and tried to make 'easy' plans for my day.

I guess I didn't take any morning pictures,
this is after lunch.
Jazz gets spruced up.

After 8:30 M called and asked about a run into town since I wasn't available toorrow. Good, that meant he wouldn't ask for Saturday. 😀 Last summer, I told him NO weekend calls and we got off on the wrong foot this spring. I'm changing that.

Garlic knots have risen

I had some yogourt, made my coffee and left at 10:30 to pick him up. It was just under the hour and I was back home again with $ in my pocket.  It wasn't a huge surprise when Gibbs started barking around 1 and Bill drove up the lane. He didn't think he'd be all day.

After cleaning, I stopped for water.

We ate our lunch together and I got out my quilling. Still working on that project I mentioned the other day. My plants are all doing fine, we didn't get rain  so I watered them earlier. Yesterday, I paid attention to the suckers on the tomato plants and plucked them off like a good little gardener. 😄

Waiting for the jug to fill,
I noticed this interesting cloud 
holding the sun.
It could be a sun with a headdress.,

Bill wanted to give Jazz a good cleaning so brought her up to the patio area. Gibbs was in and out, not sure where he wanted to be. The sun was out, the sky clear and we had all afternoon yet. I can't believe we are almost half way through the month and I know I say that every month!

I really do like our entrance

Shortly after 5, since Bill was still working away, cleaning and polishing, he suggested I go clean the Mat now instead of after we eat. Works for me! Off I went and there not only wasn't anyone in the building, there was also hardly any traffic. I loved the ease of getting around town.

These burgers are so filling

When I finished cleaning, I got a water bottled filled at Battery Pro and returned home by 6:30. He had started grilling our burgers and they were good and filling. Almost too filling. Neither of us had any room for the custard dessert. 😉

Already sealed in the bag.

Today, in the event that we didn't go anywhere tomorrow, meaning we would have Bridgette and Chris for supper, I made some Garlic Knots. They were done before ouir supper and they look pretty darn good! 

Some clouds moved in this evening
making for a pretty picture.

However, our original plan for Friday is taking place so Bill and I will be eating those over the next few days. I sampled one and I think I can do better anyway so won't bother freezing them. In case you are wondering what that plan is, it is Friday the 13th, we have Jazz, and a pretty nice day ahead.

Here we are, new Lion's Club members
with our sponsors, Roz and Brian.
It was a fun night.

Port Dover here we come! Dot will look after Gibbs for us and we'll be off, God willing, pretty early in the morning. This has been a great day. A little of this, that and the other and our bike gear is ready for us. I hope you've enjoyed your day as well. We reached 19C/67F which is pretty nice. 💖
