Friday, Aug 2nd, 2019……
We had mowing plans for today. I had Rylee out early. My sister came by
and brought Quincy and walked and fed her. Then we headed off to Kevin’s for
breakfast. It was crowded and only Corina and Rick were working. So, we waited
for a bit to get our meals. After that, my sister dropped me off at the house
and she and Lydia headed off to Albany to go to Hobby Lobby to get something sis
had found there a few days ago. I did some posting and then went out and got
the weed whacker going and trimmed up before getting the tractors out. We didn’t need to mow the field this time so
it went quickly. Lydia did some more weeding around the front porch and once we
had that done and cleaned up, we were done. I came in and started watching the Mecum
Auctions. I’m wishing now I would have built the rv garage a little bigger – I would
sure like to have a classic car to play with. Oh well, maybe in another life! Later,
Lydia made hamburgers and fries for dinner and we settled in and watched tv
until bedtime.
Saturday, Aug 3rd, 2019…… Plans today called for finally
picking the blueberries, plus I needed to get the tractor and grass catcher out
and do the lawn. I also wanted to install the new sprinkler heads today too. I
walked Rylee and then headed out to get coffee/tea. Lydia made omelets for
breakfast and after she had eaten, she just vegged in her chair and watched tv.
My sister asked me to text her when I started on the lawn and I did that. She
came over and bagged up three bags of grass and we were done. She left to go
home and shower and I went in and showered. By this time, it was too hot out to
go pick berries or dig in the grass so we put those off til tomorrow. It was
also too hot to cook. Lydia had got out some chicken for an old recipe she
found and wanted to try, but since she fell asleep this afternoon, she said she
didn’t have time to make it today. So, we took butthead for a ride and went to
Stick a Pork In It and brought back dinner, which we ate while we watched our
programs. A quiet evening…
Sunday, Aug 4th, 2019…... Nothing on the plans for today. So, I decided
to go out in the morning while it was still nice and cool and get those
sprinkler heads installed. I turned on the system and tested the heads. This
time I could only see one that wasn’t working correctly, so I just fixed that
one. Of course, the monkey butt water dog was there to help me. Our timers are
set to water the lawn and flowerbeds early in the morning so she doesn’t usually
see them in operation. That’s a good thing! She loves to chase the water and
goes from sprinkler to sprinkler to ‘eat’ that water! But at least she had a chance to run and cool
off. I came in and had a cold soda and cooled
off myself and watched my races and relaxed for the rest of the day. Later, Lydia started that new dish she wanted
to make. It’s just called baked chicken but it’s made with apricot/pineapple
jam, Russian salad dressing, stove top stuffing, and chicken breasts. It took a
while to bake and then we ate. Turns out neither of us were fond of it at all.
Oh well, sometimes they are not all keepers!
I took
Rylee out for another run in the water and in her pool, dried her off and we
came in and called it a night and watched tv until bedtime.
