The Ridge
On Monday, Oct. 3rd, Bill returned to the job site in Hanover so because it is close, he took Black Beauty. I was lazy this morning, we are both fighting symptoms of a cold so Gibbs and I filled my recliner in ‘our’ jammies and didn’t move until around 10. 😊 The day outside was warming up nicely so we went for a walk to the corner and back. Beautiful!
The shaded section of the berm
was still a bit white when I looked out at 8
There was
very little wind which helped the temperature to rise steadily after a frosty
night of 0C/32F. Bill had frost on B.B.’s windshield to deal with at 7:30 and
the berm hill was white with it. I’ve heard for years the old adage “stuff a
cold and starve a fever” so I had my cereal with my tea first thing and rubbed
my neck and chest with Vick’s. Another lesson learned from years ago, my Dad
had his Vicks beside him at all times. Bless his ♥.
Gibbs and I walked to the corner 
It was interesting to see two very different
cloud formations over us
At noon
hour, I had one of the subwiches left over from the party and reheated, it
tasted great! I felt great but took some Hall’s for a cough and a couple of
Tylenol cold tables when I went around the corner to M’s for 1:00. I was
working outside, on the south side of his front apartment, painting the metal
wall. It was half done by his brother a week ago and needed to be finished. The temperature had risen to 17C/62F by mid afternoon. Gorgeous!
It was just 4:30 and the sun was already
taking the beginning steps of its descent

is showing off its own fall colours
His
tenant moved in on the weekend and I met Erin and Luna, her friendly Rottweiler,
while I worked. The sun felt wonderful and I was surprised it got so hot
working out there. I finished my shift inside dusting the truck box and that’s
when the coughing started. Thankfully, I wasn’t in there long and at 4 headed
home to Gibbs. We waited outside on the steps for Bill, who arrived a few
minutes before 5.

He hears him long before he sees him

For
supper, after we dozed, we had our delicious bacon cheeseburgers with a cookie
for dessert. The keto oatmeal peanut butter cookies are almost gone so I may have
to put together another batch one day soon. They were good. This was a good
day. I’m not thrilled about the cold catching up with us but it could be much
worse. Touch wood, another old adage, that it stays at bay. 😊
We don't barbecue in the cold weather so
we are enjoying one of our few warm days left
for burgers
Soon the Weber Q will be packed for the journey!
Good night!!
Thank you
for sticking by me even when my posts are late!
