A Bit of This and That

The Ridge

Last night, I heard Bill tell Gibbs that he didn't have to go to work today so he (Gibbs) could sleep in. Well, on Tuesday, Aug. 4th, the little bum did just that. At least until 6:30, when Daddy moved first. I could feel Gibbs stirring a bit for a few minutes before hand - waiting. 💗

Good morning!
Yup! Another Moonflower in
my small flower bed.
A couple of buds still to open.

I, on the other hand, had to clean the Mat. I got up before 7 and just after, drove into town. No one there so that meant no distractions. I threw the cleaning rags I use into a machine with the collection in the Lost and Found and let them wash while I cleaned.

On my way out the lane,
I had to stop for this.
It might be a dirty old pond,
but it sure creates lovely pictures.

I was back home just after 8:30 and after a bit of discussion, Bill hopped on Jazz and went in to the hardware store for a couple of things. One being a can of white spray paint for the little table. The off-white didn't look good. I'm no good at sanding and spray painting so when I noticed it running, I quit.

Gibbs and I were discussing how
long the grass is getting.
Hmm, 'you should cut it soon, Mom'

Gibbs and I sat outside until Bill got back, we had lunch, a snooze and then he went over to Dot's to do a bit more of the finishing touches on the lower rooms. She popped over last night for half hour; a visit and to purchase a couple of my cards. 😃 It was nice to see her. Gibbs was thrilled. 🐶

Bill ate the sandwich he'd made last
night for work.
I made another bacon, egg, tomato
quesadilla.

We just hung around when Bill got back from next door and I read more of my vintage book. Robin's guests are in the bnb for a week so we are both off the hook for cleaning until Friday at least. I have to admit, although the $$ is nice, days off are quite exquisite! 🤭

I harvested about 12 cherry tomatoes
and pretend beefsteak but this is
what excited me today.
My Midnight Snack cherry tomatoes
are truly turning red!

The grass needs cutting, I noticed when Gibbs and I sat outside this afternoon, so that is a job for tomorrow after our eye appointments. Bill took it off work as well. I wonder if the checkups will reveal much change in our scripts? 🤔

What is that noise going down our road?
Oh, the grater. He was moving too fast
to be working though.

For supper, he grilled a pork chop for himself and a couple of smoked sausages for me. I cooked a small handful of mini potatoes and the last 2 short cobs of corn. They badly needed to be eaten. Bill finished the strawberries and cream and I had a few pieces of watermelon. It was a good supper.

Gibbs likes my yogourt but
hasn't cared for the frozen variety.
Until today. I let him clean out
the little cup.

After washing the pot, he went out and sprayed the little table. 😀 Back down to the Hangar, we've had a lot of discussions about 'cleanup' in our sheds. My oh my, how things collect. 

Supper was good tonight.

Donna accepted my request for taking the bags of clothes for the exchange (she has a basement) until it is held, so that helps my Bunky a lot.

Bill finished my table for me.
He's much better at it!
💕
Here, it needs one more coat.

I guess I need to stop picking things up on the side of the road!! This has been a lovely day. 25.55C/78F is nothing to sniff at! I made appointments for Gibbs' grooming, did I mention that? Two in Arizona and his next one here at home. 

A lovely night

The Animal House in Quartzsite is now the only full groomer in the town so she is booking asap for her regular customers. I'm happy we're on her list for notifications. Aside from inviting them for supper (that's another story!), Gibbs is good to go. 🤣 They are a nice couple.

After a great day.
Good night!

I've enjoyed my day. Thank you for coming by and thank you for your comments.
