A Bit of This and That, Lots Done

 The Ridge

On Saturday, May 9th Bill slept in until 6:35 and that meant Gibbs waited beside me until the moment he could cuddle his daddy and get outside for his nature call. I slept well, don't recall hearing anything from the time I went to bed at 9:15 until we woke.

Good morning!
This is how Bill's day started.
To the dump, to the dump.

I do know I was dreaming though, I felt 'busy' all night. 🤣 It was a gray sky with no possibility of sun. At least it was mild. With the trailer full of branches, Bill left at 8 am to go to the dump at Bentinck. It is a place you can take brush for free during open hours.

Up on the berm, my
Trilliums were starting
to bloom.

When he returned, we loaded the trailer again together and he was off again. I had my breakfast of oatmeal around 10:00 and when Bill came back the second time, I left him to it. I had to drive to  Williamsford to clean the air bnb for the first time this year.

Here is the table I picked up
at the side of the road yesterday.
Solid wood and with some tlc
will be even nice to look at!

I was happy to be back helping Robin, and arrived at the home at 11:30. The house had had overnight guests only and she had more coming in tonight. It hasn't been too busy over the last few months according to the guest book she leaves on the entry table. I went to work and finished by 1:30. 

And the wood pile from yesterday

Bill had just returned again from his third trip and that was it for the day. It pretty much cleaned up all of the cut branches, well, perhaps one more load to go. We came in and relaxed for a while. I did some quilling, got a few more cards completed before giving in to a headache.

I wasn't expecting to see any
sun today, in fact had a few rain
drops on my way home.

Bill dozed downstairs with Gibbs and I went upstairs for 45 minutes. When I got up, the headache was gone so I went back to quilling. We put on some classic tv, some Carol Burnett and then Beverly Hillbillies. Funny for a while but after about 8 episodes we'd had enough. 😉

The bnb looks good.
I missed this charming place.

For supper, I cooked fish and onion rings in Rosy and Bill cooked his fries in the Fry Daddy. It was a bit tricky but everything was done at the same time and quite tasty! I love my onion rings! We cleaned up the dishes and Bill went to the Hangar. 

I left the place at 1:30

While writing my blog, I watched a movie. I'm always up for new movies, this one is called Jackie & Ryan and seems worth a watch. Today, we accomplished a lot and I got my feet wet again with cleaning for Robin. 

The rain came down hard
and thunder and lightning
was heard and seen in the distance.
Still, a calm storm.

Then it stopped and
the sun came out before
supper.

We reached a decent 16.67C/62F by late afternoon and then it began raining. The earlier winds had calmed and we got our first spring storm since arriving home. 

At Walmart, I decided to buy
myself battered onion rings for
when Bill has his fries.
They were delicious.

No, we don't need the rain and are grateful that within 90 minutes the sun popped out and the rain stopped.

Gibbs went looking for a toy.
Bill tried to help him find 'the' one.
Turns out, Poppy was up in bed and
that made him happy.

This was a great day. I hope you can say the same.

Good night!

Thank you for stopping in.
