The Rain Arrives but That's It?

The Ridge

On Thursday, June 26th things were bustling around here at its normal time. At least for Bill. Up at 5:30, Gibbs out and in, a kiss goodbye, Bill left and we went back up to bed. I didn't sleep, guess I'd had enough. I was dreaming, this time about Ladyfest. Huh! Not surprised. 

Good Morning!
Nancy and I were chatting about security cameras.
So, I took this picture to show her.
Yup, this is what we were doing after 9 this morning.

I played my games, had my tea and did some Amazon perusing. Starting July 8th, their sale dates start for a few days so we are keeping an eye on a couple of things we'd like to get. Other than taking M into town at 10, it was a pretty uneventful morning.

This home belongs to
(are you ready?)
Mrs. Sew 'n Sew. 
M was picking up some clothing
items she repaired for him.

At least for me. He was having problems getting access to his bank account so we weren't able to take care of his groceries today. 😔 Things got straightened out by noon, with no explanation from his bank, but it means that I will be taking him back in tomorrow for some food. 

A pretty dull day but our
gate looks wonderful!

I told him I'd give him a 'free' trip since this was out of his control. I also told him that it was a 'one-time, take it or leave-it' deal. That got a laugh. So, what else to do on a cooler, wet day but to quill? I had a couple of greeting cards started for later months so finished those and put it all away.

Bill messaged that it would be another late night, they aren't working tomorrow and want to finish this deck, I'm sure. I'm surprised they worked all day, we had rain from 9 until 1. Not all heavy but there was a good downpour around 9:30 and M got soaked at every stop today. 😏

I don't know if she was singing,
but she sat there for a long time looking
at her reflection. 💕

Gibbs and I had a quiet afternoon indoors. At 5:15, I prepped supper, it will be a late meal but a good one. After a long day, Bill needs a good supper. He walked in the door a few minutes past 6. I guess I wasn't the only one with a mixed up day! The rain was playing havoc for them too.

Supper was good but the chop
was way too big for me.
The cabbage was delicious!

We had large pork chops, Bill had roasted fingerling potatoes and I had cabbage. I couldn't finish my chop so bagged it up for lunch tomorrow. It all tasted great and we each had a keto molten lava dessert. 😉

Okay, Grandma's bragging rights here.
Even though she's not my biological granddaughter,
OUR youngest is just adorable here.
Her first t-ball season overwith and her
Mom is bursting with pride. 
Go Hadley go!

I didn't take many pictures today, but I'll share what I have. I still enjoyed the day, however dull and I'm happy about the rain. I would have been happier with even a bit more for the plants. 

We only had a high temperature of 18C/66F today, feeling colder with the dampness. It will warm up again tomorrow and so it goes in our world.

There was a video on FB of her hitting
the ball and running the base but no way
to download it. 
She's such a girly girl so this is quite special.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by!

  1. YAY for Hadley!! I love how they drew a line in the sand so the kids would know where to stand!! Thank you for the Wyze info. As for M, what does he do when you guys are gone? You are a blessing to him, I'm sure!

    1. Yes, t-ball is so cute. I remember taking her mom, Jess, when she was 5. All she wanted to do in outfield was play in the sand. haha. She became a great ball player though!
      M gets other people in town to come and pick him up. Costs him more because of the extra driving, I'm just around the corner, but he manages. Thank you.

    1. Yes, I just feel that maybe the 'kids' would not appreciate me calling them 'mine'. Too bad, I guess, right? I've been around 28 years! haha

  4. It sounds like you had a lovely Thursday. We had a thunderstorm move through here last night and the lawns/gardens got a lovely drink.

    God bless.
