Saturday, May 5th, 2018…… This morning we both got up about
5:30am. But I stayed up and Lydia went
back to bed. I took muttley out to do her morning business. She’s only had one slipup in the house
overnight, so we’re pleased with that. My
job in the morning is to play with her and get some energy out of her, then
feed her, then I can turn her over to Grammy to watch while I take my shower
and get ready for the day. After
breakfast, it’s my turn again, while Lydia gets ready. Penny came over a little
bit later and Rylee got to run with Quincy again. They are getting used to each other – or should
I say Quincy is getting used to Rylee! They run and run around the yard, which
is good for short legs – it wears her out for her power nap! Later. I went over
to look at my sister’s sprinkler issues.
I took her over our oscillating sprinkler but we were able to pinpoint
some of the issues and after a trip to Wilco, I got her up and running for
now. She still needs Kirk to come over
and move the rocks in her rock wall so he can straighten up one of the
sprinkler heads. I can fix the ones out
in the front yard. She also needs to get an expert out to go over her water
system and see if there’s a reason why she can’t get more pressure out of the
backyard system.
When I got
home, I rested for a bit, then went out and tested my sprinklers since it’s
been several months since we used them. The big lawn sprinklers are working
well, but there were a few drip/bubblers/sprayers in the flowerbeds that I
needed to work on. I still have one main
line of flowerbed sprinklers that run around the east and south side of the house
that I have to work on. That’s one that
was quoted by Stutzman last year at $1200. That’s for a whole new line. But I
think I can go slow and steady and work on repair of what’s there and get it
done myself. But it will take a while. Meanwhile,
while I was working on the sprinklers, Lydia was working on cleaning up the
dead plants and made a very small dent in that! Of course, our new little girl
discovered that she was definitely a waterdog!
When we finished up and came back in, she looked like she’d been
swimming. She had bark mulch all over
her paws! Crazy dog!
Sunday, May 6th, 2018…… This
morning we woke up to thunder and lightning.
We had seen that storms were possible today but we didn’t expect it so
early. But that was good because it
cleared up and it was a fairly nice day. After letting her out to pee and checking
out the house, we got monkey butt up on the bed and played with her for a
while, then got up and showered and got breakfast made. No plans today so we
spent it catching up on taped races and hallmark movies. You know who watched
what! Lydia thawed out some chicken
breasts which got cut up to go in her chicken and noodle casserole. It was
yummy and still is one of my favorites! We got caught up on Master Chef Jr. and
watched our own shows until taking missy out and then calling it a night.
