Sunday Coming Down, Except the Temperature

The Ridge

On Sunday, July 6th I woke from a pretty good sleep at 6:15. At least that is the first time I looked at the clock. Bill was downstairs finishing breakfast and Gibbs was beside me. The only thing I had on my agenda was a visit to see my sister in the hospital.

Good morning!

On Bill's agenda, he was going flying. It was too hot to be doing anything outside so it would be an inside air-conditioned day, for Gibbs as well. I did have my tea outside with the little guy after Bill left and other than me eyeballing a raccoon wandering down the corral hill (again), nothing unusual. 😆

This was meant to be a picture
of Daddy leaving in Black Beauty.
But I missed him.
Gibbs didn't.

Gibbs didn't see him, again. Phew! He came from one side of the lane to the other and into the pond. It was a lovely morning but the temperature was on the rise again for one more day. I had my shower after playing my games and at 9:20 left Gibbs in charge and pulled out.

This is my latest owl and
I thought it might cheer someone up.
Who? Who? Cathy!

I picked Donna up at the Acreage, just down two concessions. We arrived in Owen Sound at the hospital to see our oldest sibling, Cathy, around 10. Aren't hospitals fun? We were like 2 lost souls, neither of us with any good sense of direction, at each intersecting corrider. 😂😂

We found her and got a huge surprised smile at our visit. Her original 'day surgery' turned into much more, which is very disheartening to say the least. She will be kept until they clear up an issue she encountered during recovery. 

She's looking pretty good but I
can't do much about making hospital food
look great. Egg salad and soup today.
Looked not too bad!
Eat up, sis!

It was a great visit and when they sat her up in her chair for lunch, we said our goodbyes. It was nice to see her so chipper, although we know it won't always be that way. She was having visitors after lunch too, which is great.

Cathy says she doesn't have much of an
appetite, so hopefully this won't tease her.
It was very good at a quaint little bakery cafe.

We stumbled through Owen Sound trying to find the favourite European Bakery & Cafe........duh, at least we laughed about it and were seated at a table for 2 by 12:30. We each had quiche and caesar salad, which were equally delicious.

I dropped Donna back off at the Acreage at 2 and scooted home to my boys. Mike had recently left for home and Bill and Gibbs were inside in the coolness of the Suite. We remained there for the rest of the evening. 

These boys were huge!
I should have stopped at only 1
but 1/2 of the second went in the garbage.

Before supper, I went out and pumped out 2 watering cans of water from the rain barrel. My vegetables were looking mighty thirsty, as were my potted flowers. Bill cooked us hotdogs for supper, huge ones, and after consuming 1 1/2 I was full.

We are going through a lot of
this lately. Gibbs and I mostly but
as of late, Bill is drinking his fair share too.

There is rain and a possible storm in the forecast for this evening so maybe they will get a natural dousing too. This has been a good day, reaching it's peak of 31C/88F mid afternoon. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler after the rain. We'll see.

This kind of natural devastation breaks
everyone's heart.
From this distance, all we can do is pray. 😪
Good night.

Thank you for stopping by.
