Today is a Holiday for Some, Not for Me

The Ridge 

On Monday, Aug. 4th I was up at 6:30 and on my way into Durham by 7. One customer was inside when I arrived and I was done cleaning before he was done. 

Good morning!

The sky this morning was hazy but it was still nice to see the sun rise for a change. Another nice day on the horizon. When I  got back home, Bill was working down by the Hangar on an airplane. 

As I drove out the lane, the sun
reflects across the pond.
Of course, I had to stop for a picture.

Gibbs was inside so I let him out and went to work on the Bunky. I called it 'work' but it is actually 'play'. 🤭 I thought of something yesterday to make so started on it. No picture, one day you'll see it.

Well, well, well.
I do believe I am being teased.
Behind the lower left petal,
another one is preparing for another evening.

If you recall I was watching for my Moonflower last night, I kept an eye on it until 8 o'clock and when it didn't bloom, I closed the blinds. This morning what should greet us but what you see in the above picture....

I was ticked!! What time did it appear? Oh well, it still is beautiful and by 9:30 it was already fading and drooping. I see another bud so will try to catch that one. Maybe.

Bill was enjoying his last day off.

At 10:45, I made a coffee and had some cereal and peaches.  I was heading to Williamsford and would be there over the lunch hour. When I arrived at 11:30, I found the bathroom door was locked. 🫣

Highway 6 doesn't look busy here
but the videos below tells a different story.

Oh no! Robin had 4 guests coming tonight.  After trying on my own, to no avail, I called in the troops. Well, Bill, I  called Bill to come to the rescue. Robin was out of town for the day. Thankfully he got it open and I was able to get sheets to make the beds.  Phew!

                              I expected lots of traffic



I was home by 2 and went back to my quilling until about 4 when I came inside.  Eventually Gibbs came in too. He only worked security until 4:30 today. For supper we had baked fish, deep fried chips for Bill and I had cauliflower instead. It was delicious!

Not quite quitting time.
Yes, Bill was still at the Hangar.

We each had a drumstick for dessert and watched tv for the evening. What a nice day. Other than the locked door debacle, things went very well and we both earned a bit of cash. 


I hope you had a nice weekend too. Back at it for many tomorrow, including my hubby. I think I have another free day. We reached a high of 27C/81F with a humidex of 56% so a pretty nice day.

                                   Good night!

Thank you for the visit.
