Just What we Need - More Water!

The Ridge, Priceville, On

On Saturday, Apr. 18th I woke up at 6:30 when Gibbs and Bill went out. Even though I had my ear plugs in, I could hear the strong winds out there. Pretty gusty! I was afraid to move, I didn't want a repeat of yesterday.

Good morning!
Bill got the shelter up yesterday.

When I rolled over onto my back, I knew instantly that I was better. Strange things happen sometimes with no rhyme or reason but I was grateful. So very grateful. I came downstairs and Bill asked how my knee was. I'm sure he was tired of me groaning last night. Concerned though too.

We had our tea and coffee together and with the wind and rain outside (oh joy), knew we would be inside today. Bill went online and began the process of filling out an application for the renewal of our passports. They expire early next year.

You can see how close the pond
water is to our lane.
Just what we need, more puddles.

At 10 or so, I hopped in Ptooties and drove to Hanover. First stop at Donna's to pick up something, then to Walmart to pick up some much needed food items. I walked out of there, quite surprised. We have enough meat for at least 10 meals for under $150.

Here is the mailbox,
back in place.
We'll have to get rid of
the cement ball that Bill
and Black Beauty pulled out.

I went to Giant Tiger next, a small chain store that has a bit of everything. I like their inexpensive non-brand name clothing and I was looking for something in particular. And I found it. 😀 

The Dollarama, next door, had the few other things I was looking for and then I headed for home. It had not stopped raining from the time I pulled out of the Ridge. I made a stop in Durham for a fuel top up to take advantage of a .10¢/litre discount.

More rain, LOL

I had to stop part way up the lane, someone was sitting directly in the track, looking at me. What could I do but laugh, take a picture and after a couple of minutes, pick her up gently and move her across to the other side of the path.

Hello there.
Putting up a barricade won't stop me
from getting up the hill.
😂
It will slow me down though.

We finished the passport process, I purged my closet in preparation of the clothing exchange and then went through my 2 jewellery boxes. It's hard to get rid of my stuff, even though I'm not wearing a lot of it. I'm just not ready but I did get a baggie full to take.

We had a one on one chat.
Then I picked her up and took her to 
where she was headed.
Safely on the other side.

For supper, we had a beef meat pie. Bill had fries with his but I only needed pickles, olives and tomatoes. They were good and made for an inexpensive meal. We caught up on NCIS:Origins from last Tuesday and Bill went up to watch a movie while I worked on my blog.

An easy supper but
it was good!

This was a wet, cool day but we still accomplished a few things inside. The weather is making a change with possible flurries overnight and into tomorrow but we'll grin and bear it and come out on the other side. 

Yesterday, Bill captured these guys/gals
in there regular spot, sunning.
Love to see this!

We started at 15C/59F and as I write this at 8:30, we are sitting at 35.6F. 

Happy 21st Birthday to our grandson, Connor. You have made your family proud with your accomplishments! 

Thank you for stopping by.
