The Ridge
On Thursday, July 3rd I was wide awake at 6 when I heard Bill and Gibbs get up. I was in bed last night before 9:30, still catching up on some zzz's, I guess. It was a great sleep with windows open and just the sheet over us.
 |
| Good morning! |
I had to clean the Mat and it worked out that we were both ready within 5 minutes of each other. Bill says it had rained overnight, which I slept through, and we had a couple of good showers between 6 and 7am before it cleared up for the day.
The Mat was still locked, it opens automatically at 7, so I used my key and unplugged the blaring radio. I know who does that and it drives me nuts. It didn't take me long to message Sandy to take it out. 😉
 |
| I was anxious to get home and start Robin's hanging for the bnb. |
A radio in there isn't necessary, although it is nice to have background noise when I'm cleaning. Get it gone, is my thought. Trudy arrived as I was beginning to mop the floors so we caught up on our crafts again and had a good old chit chat.
 |
| These were much better today. With the extra egg and a bit more flour, they were crisped up nicely. |
Back home, regardless of the day's weather, I was going to start on Robin's Newfoundland wall hanging. A Puffin was one suggestion and that is what I chose to do. They are such cute birds and it was fun to work on. I sat outside in the sun and got a bit burnt.....oops!.......but I made great progress.
 |
| You can hardly see the flag at the mailbox but all 3 are flying proud at the road. |
After lunch, for which I had the cabbage patties and they turned out awesome today, I went back out to the picnic table. Winds picked up so I had to make sure my paper strips were all tucked under things so I didn't lose them. 😀
 |
| Only when I said "do you want to go get the mail?" did he come outside and head down the laneway. |
 |
| Today, Kermit was sitting in the lane track. I wished I'd put my video on for when Gibbs touched his butt. It was hilarious! Gibbs jumped back about 2 feet! |
Gibbs, for some reason, chose to stay indoors for most of the day. ??? That's odd but he knows best what Gibbs wants and I was able to fully concentrate on my creation without making sure he was okay. He sleeps up on the bed and can see out two windows if he needs to.
 |
| I brought flowers back from my walk |
 |
| Gibbs brought back a goose feather. |
I had no bugs bothering me until about 30 minutes before I quit. I guess they like the smell of my shampoo/conditioner after my shower. LOL
 |
| The gate garden and fenceline lilys are doing great. |
 |
| No wonder he loves the walks down the lane. Actually, he does this no matter where he walks. Such a character. |
 |
| A bigger pot next year, for sure. |
My oldest sister, Cathy, had hip replacement surgery this morning so I chatted briefly with her and 3 sisters on Messenger to make sure she was ok. She did fine but will stay in for a few days because of a mini stroke after surgery. She's ok, so that is great.
 |
| Bill commented the other day how all our apple trees are laden with fruit. He wasn't kidding! This one at the road is full. |
I nipped over to Robin's after 7 to give her the Nfld hanging. She loved it and neither of us could come up with a price so I left it with her to take on their flight tomorrow. She will be gone for 2 weeks and we'll settle on a cost when she returns. I have 2 more to make. 😁
 |
| Making it up as I went, I had no room for a whale because my Puffin was so big. But he's cute, huh? Robin loved it and loved the little birds. |
We reached a pleasant 22C/72F today with blue skies and the odd fluffy white clouds. I loved it. It will be a quiet night, with either tv or my book. I have another non-work day tomorrow so will cut grass up here so the weekend is free.
 |
| A tasty little supper. Good night! |
Thank you for stopping by.
