Might be Sore Tomorrow?

The Ridge

On Sunday, Aug. 31st we all were able to sleep in for a bit. I could feel Gibbs stirring between us at 6 but he kept laying back down in a different position until Bill rolled over onto his back. Aha! Time to give Daddy hugs!

Good morning!
Bill hard at it at 10 am.

I stayed in bed when they got up until 7:30, seemed to need a bit more rest. 😄 We had breakfast together and at 10, Bill took Black Beauty over to Robin's to pick up their large dump trailer. He'd asked to borrow it for a couple of weeks.

I was busy in my own way,
just returning from the bnb.
Already, trees are starting to change
colour in areas.
Too soon!

At 10:30, I left for Williamsford, arriving just around 11. The guests had departed on time which is always nice, and they left the house in great condition. I think there were 4 of them and they didn't seem to have used much other than the beds and some towels.

By the time I returned home,
Bill had the trailer full.

I was on my way home in an hour and stopped at a roadside booth selling corn on the cob. One of those 'honest' stands, so I chose 12 cobs and left my $6. Donna agreed to split it with us. We'll not eat 12 in a week. Since it was on my way home, one of the routes, I dropped her 6 off at the Acreage. 

In my first picture, you
can see the pile of wood planks
and cedar rails to move.
This is when we were finishing up
for the day.
We hope to level it up for more
gravel.

Bill was busy loading old boards from behind the Hangar into the trailer when I left and by the time I returned home, it was full. He's no slacker! We have a lot of old cedar rails in that pile that have been there since early on, so together we cut them up. 

I like this picture.
Bill's big trailer on the left.
My little trailer on the right.
But hey, I'm learning to ride
the mower. Finally!

I need to get comfortable riding the Cub Cadet so he attached the wagon and I was the one driving it up to our wood pile by the firepit and back down again. I hope I can remember the steps! I'm happy to have done that today but I need practice backing up with a wagon on it!

The 'almost' before and after of our wood pile.
The brighter pieces are new.

Our wood pile improved greatly and we added some to his down by the Hangar for his own fire pit. There are still some rails to cut, and a mess of stones, dirt and what have you to clean up but this was a big job that we made a huge dent in.

Bill's little wood pile too

We quit around 3:30 and 'playtime' ensued. He was in the Hangar with his planes and I moved my quilling supplies from the Suite back into the Bunky. Seems the days are warmer now............although, I see what is coming and things may be reversed again before the week is out!

I think I improved it
and now it is on a background
too fYikor hanging.

I finished a farm picture that I'd started a week ago. Remember the pig, sheep and ducks? I wasn't happy with the total result so took Trudy's suggestion of a picket fence and barn and expanded on the whole picture. I love the way it turned out!

Yikes!
We don't like spicy.
My bad!!

For supper, we went simple. Again. Hot dogs and corn on the cob. Filling. The big surprise was when I opened a new jar of relish and licked the fork. Oh-oh!! Jalapenos??? Crap. We won't be eating that! So, instead, I used some of Robin's Nfld cauliflower relish. That's much better!

This is the end of the
big weiners. I'm not keen on them.
But the corn? Oh my it was good!

Bill went to the Hangar and I finished my blog. It was a lovely day here on the Ridge. We worked hard for a lot of it but enjoyed some down time too. We reached a high of 23C/73F but still expecting some cool evenings. I hope you are enjoying your long weekend.

No Gibbs pictures today. Sorry.
He was outside with us all day,
finding shade, being our shadow
and our supervisor at the same time.
Couldn't have done the job without him.
The sun is setting further south now.
It seemed to have jumped just in the last 2 days.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
