A Quiet Day at Home, Lion's meeting

 The Ridge

On Wednesday, June 10th Bill was up and busy getting ready for work when I woke up. I slept well, with my window open, but did I ever dream! At one point when I woke up, I couldn't decide what was real and what I had dreamt. Strange. 

Good morning!
Gibbs and I had some cuddle time
in my dining chair after Daddy left.

Gibbs and I got up before Bill left at 7 so we managed to get our goodbye kisses. As if Gibbs doesn't get enough. 🤭 It was looking like a damp day but after raining heavy overnight (according to Bill) things were just wet. 

I don't lack for entertainment
up here.
Two Chippys on the pole.
Maybe this is a Cirque de Soleil 
of sorts? 😂

A free day for us, we remained inside for the most part. I read blogs, played my word games and then while Gibbs slept, I finished the last 3 cd coasters. I have really been wrestling with the idea of finding markets to sell stuff. 

Look again
This was a standoff until
one jumped off.
Meanwhile, the Grackle watched.

I'm so undecided, #1 on how to find places, is it going to be worth giving up work time for Robin (a guaranteed income) for, weather if I'm outside etc. etc. The store in town, Chicory Common, offers free outdoor space for vendors on Sundays. But, I have no cover from the heat, wind or rain. 🤷‍♀️

My tall irises from London
I love these.

I'm praying for guidance, what to do, what to do. No one can make the decision for me so I continue to wrestle right now and continue to create. LOL For lunch, I had my poached eggs on toast and then went back to quilling. 

The plants look good.

Gibbs and I walked for the mail at 2 after I knew  she'd gone by. Usually at 1:30 but I don't count on it. The sky didn't clear all day as they thought it would but it didn't rain again either. My rain barrel and 5 gallon pails around the Suite are full! Yay! My plants on the berm are looking great.

See the full barrel?
The pails runneth over

All plants are growing and tomato plants are beginning to flower. I'm quite pleased with myself about that location, sorry, I keep saying that. I hope it pays off in the long run but I need some more cages. I see Cdn. Tire has them on sale this week.

Heavy clouds all day

Bill was home by 5 and this was a no cooking night for me. It was our last Lion's Club meeting for the summer with a catered dinner. We do pay for the meal but $11 each is nothing. Because of Father's Day on Sunday, we were asked to wear something appropriate for a father.

This mining bee (I looked it up on Google lens)
on this yellow daisy.

The daisies are weeds, I know, but
I couldn't pull them out.

I dug out one of Bill's ties, pulled up a Youtube video on how to tie it and had my outfit planned. Just a button down shirt w/collar and the tie. Done.

I shortened the tie and added
my Lion's badge.

I was pleased that many of the ladies did the same thing, mostly with ties, hats and one in overalls. 😉

A great meal for $11.

The meeting was fun tonight and the meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, veggies and a roll was very good. It was after 8, closer to 8:30 when we returned home to our little love bug. 

Headed home through
Baptist Church Rd.

Waiting for attention

Today, I heard of 2 distant family members who have lost their fur babies recently - it reminds me to appreciate Gibbs even more. This afternoon I started on another project, using a 5 x 7" canvas board. Something else to add to the pile. 

A nice sunset tonight.

This was a great day. No pressures and a fun evening with my sweetie. We watched some episodes of Ballard, since we're done with the Bosch and I'm done with Murder in a Small Town. We're enjoying this series too. 

                                 Good night, Gibbs!

We reached 22.22C/72F this afternoon with no sun. Thank you for stopping by.
