It was almost 5:30 when I woke this morning and went downstairs, with a cool 70F outside. I did a few exercises, and soon afterwards was enjoying my first cup of coffee. I worked on the blog until almost 8. Time passes quickly when your mind is busy with a project. It was a good time to stop and make our morning shakes.
Dean left for the garage around 8:30. I told him I would be down soon. The front of my car is covered with "bugs" and I want to get it cleaned up today. Fortunately he had some type of bug remover. We let it set a minute or so, then I took a wet rag to it. I was surprised it took such little effort to remove them. Dean cleaned the tires and before long our little white care was truly white, not white with lots of black splotchs!
I headed home to take care of things there - normal morning routine of picking things up, making the bed, etc. Then I went back to work on the blog. I did not have anything on the agenda until this evening and I want to get it finished.
Todd (my cousin and owner of the RV Park we are at) loves flowers, trees and fruit. He has planted rasberry and blackberry bushes. Yesterday he told me the blackberries would be ready to pick this morning, but by the time I had finished washing the car it was too hot to do that, so I am going to go out early tomorrow about 7-7:30 and pick them. I love blackberries, so I am anxious for the opportunity to get some - and free to boot.
Dean called to let me know he wouldn't be back until closer to 12:30 for lunch. So I decided to take my shower during that time. When he returned we had our lunch; for him a ham and cheese sandwich, while I had my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I cut up a cucumber that we split between us with a little ranch dressing. It sure tasted good! Of course, we each had an apple, along with our dab of peanut butter for our snack. Yum Yum!
Dean headed back to the garage after watching whatever Western was on - I can't remember if it was Gunsmoke or Bonanza. This morning after helping me wash the car, he was burning brush and weeds under the last tree he cleaned up several weeks ago. He wanted to get back and finish that up. When he returned around 4, he told me he was going to begin on the brush along the south side of the property next. It will take some time, but fortunately it is pretty shaded there. Working in the morning won't be too bad. He can always finds something to do in the shop - even if it's watching a western on his TV! LOL!!
After he left, I continued to work on the blog, and I made a quick trip to the grocery store for another cantaloupe (we have almost finished the one I cut up a couple of days ago), and some strawberries. The strawberries taste so good, nice and sweet. For dinner I placed a bed of baby spinach in a pasta bowl, added rotissere chicken pieces, then fruit - cantaloupe, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, and avocado, topped with balsamic vinegrette for me and ranch dressing for Dean. It was soooo good!
Dean took a quick shower after dinner, and shortly before 6 we headed to Cindy & Elmer's to play Wahoo and pitch.

Girls were winners of both games tonight. Wahoo!!!! Elmer puts out quite a garden. He always puts out a "scarecrow", but this year he changed it. Cindy was telling us how she had looked out the bathroom window and saw it - thinking it was a real person. Too funny! I had to get up and go look at it. It does look very real and I could see how it might startle you.
It was a nice, relaxing day. It felt good! I hope yours was too!
I have a little garden but maybe one year I'll have to try making a scarecrow just for fun. No critters bother it, touch wood!!
ReplyDeleteBlackberries, fresh and free sound good. Your salad looks good but I doubt Bill would go for that. Not big on fruit and veggies in the same meal. Sounds like a good day and Dean is getting a lot of brush cleaned up. Yay ladies!
