The Ridge
Monday, July 8th already and although I say time is flying by, it was a nice leisurely weekend. Bill got the call/text last night that Billy needs him for work this week, or at least a few days. Mixed feelings of course, for us, but every little bit helps and he is being very careful working on this outside job. I was up at 7 and within 20 minutes, Bill was on his way.
Good morning! 
It was a nice morning for tea outside.
Gibbs and
I went outside into the pleasant morning. I took my tea with me and moved the
chairs off the lawn with the plan to cut it once it dried. The dew is quite
heavy these mornings. At 10, I drove over to M’s for his errand run into town.
We made 5 stops, one at my suggestion so I could pick up some bird seed that was
on sale at Home Hardware. We were back home by 11:15 and I came in and changed
my shoes.
I cut it with the blades on the lowest in the
hopes it won't need to be done for a few days. 😎
It has been a week since we cut it.
Time to
cut grass. Gibbs found the coolest spot to lay was under the Suite where he had
shade plus a wee breeze. He didn’t move for the whole 40 minutes. 😊 When I finished, even though the sun wasn’t exactly out in
full glory, I was hot and drippy. Just as I went to sit in the shade with
Gibbs, Robin called with a favour. She was at a birthday party at the
conservation area and wondered if I could pop in to check on Mildred at her
house.
She let me walk in through the first two
garages and immediately went out to the middle garage
to just look at me.
Of course! She was in the first garage, there are 3 joined, and she had the run of the whole area. That is a lot of free space for a teeny 4? 5? pound squirt. ♥ She never barked but ran around Robin’s car about 5 times trying to show me who was boss.

She wouldn’t come near me until I sat on the step for about 10 minutes and talked to her. Finally, when I asked her to sit, she did and allowed me to walk over and pick her up. Such a little sweetie. Robin said later that she probably wanted me to stay.
I let myself out through their
car garages. Aren't these 'purty'?

Back
home, I was happy to step into the Suite as I turned the a/c on after Bill
left. We knew it was going to be a hot, humid one today – and it was. The sun
made appearances (of which you wanted to be sheltered from) and the breeze
picked up a bit. Bill was home before 4 and after a change of clothes and a
snooze, we went out together.
Gibbs and I walked to get the mail where I found
this for an event that was at the church yesterday. Darn!
Gloria put it in Friday afternoon but didn't put the flag up,
so we didn't check it until today.
The sky looked threatening a few times
but nothing transpired.
Ha! Look at that evergreen and shed on the left.
They really are standing straight! Honest!
He dumped
the black tank, we lasted 18 days this time! I pulled weeds in my small garden
out in front of the patio mat. Enough of that nonsense! We offloaded more bags
of stones from BB and sat in the shade for a few minutes until it was time to
start supper. Bill grilled a pork chop and I fried liver inside for me. We each
had salad as our side dish and after a yummy meal, cleaned up and settled for
the evening. It was a hot but nice day. 😊

| A filling supper, we didn't need dessert. We reached 28C/83F today and only dropping to 18C/64F. A/C will be off and windows will be open. Good night everyone! |
Thank you
for popping in.
