Saturday, January 27th, 2018…...
We had any interesting night last night! We went to bed about 10:30pm but neither of
us could fall asleep. I stayed in bed but Lydia got up and went in her craft
room to watch tv. A few minutes later, I
saw bright lights through the bathroom windows, coming from outside toward our
neighbor’s house. Since it was kinda late for them to be out, I checked it out.
It was a police car all the way back in his driveway. He was shining his spotlight toward the woods
behind our houses. Then he backed out
and drove all around the cul-de-sac shining his spotlight around looking for
someone. I walked from window to window
to check it out. I saw flashing red lights from Rock Hill Rd, which is in front
of the property directly behind our home.
The cruiser kept leaving and coming back from that location. This went on for about an hour. We haven’t heard or read anything about it
yet but I’m guessing a vehicle was pulled over on Rock Hill and the driver or a
passenger fled the scene. We ended up
watching the activity for a while but nothing happened that we could see. We
finally got sleepy and went to bed.
Because of last
night, we both slept in a bit this morning. After breakfast, I went out to the
shop and finished my storage project and then spent the rest of the day
relaxing. Lydia wet mopped the floors
and that was done. That was about all we
accomplished today. Later, she mixed up some cooked cut up chicken breasts with
several small portions of macaroni we had.
She added mushrooms and green beans and cheese and made up a stove top
mac casserole. I doubt she’ll be able to
replicate it exactly as it was just thrown together but I hope she can! It was
delish!
Sunday, January 28th, 2018…… The weather is super nice today! I went out
early this morning and took a walk around the property. I am checking the soggy grass. Yep, still there! With showers coming and going all month,
there’s no window for the grass to dry out enough to mow. Too bad – the lawn is getting thick and tall!
Walt has planted a perennial rye or something so it’s got a nice green color
even this part of winter. Good thing the field grass is dormant this time of
year. It is lower than the lawn so no worries there. But my lawnmower isn’t
starting. I’ve got to look into that
pretty soon. The rest of the day was just spent lounging around and watching
tv.
Puppy update –
Lydia has been talking with Becky, the breeder that we got Bailey from. She has a litter ready now. They were all
spoken for. Problem was that several of
the pups have parvo. That caused at least three folks to back out. She told Lydia she has a female that is not
affected and is now available. But we
are still hesitant to get a puppy even though she is ok, but the family has
issues. Plus we can’t get down there
(SoCal) right now because we have the shop breaking ground tomorrow. So we told
her we’re passing for now. We’ll look for
breeders or ads online around here.
Penny came by and she and Lydia went to
Walmart. Meanwhile, I met with my last neighbor (Lou) today to give my plans to
for the rv garage. Good thing, they
should be here tomorrow. We spent a few minutes talking about the neighborhood,
lawns, politics, travel, and family. He’s a former school administrator with
lots to say! He also has a small orchard of apple trees in his back yard and
seems to know a lot so I invited him over to check out my apple trees and give
me some advice on pruning and anything else to help this year’s yield.
