Sue in addition to I had a beautiful 24-hour interval for our walk yesterday. We started amongst oatmeal, but at a dissimilar eating topographic point from our usual. We were seated pond-side in addition to could come across some Canada geese amongst their goslings across the way. When nosotros laid out on our walk, nosotros decided to come across if nosotros could grab upwards to them. I swear the goslings had grown past times the fourth dimension nosotros reached them.
I'm inwards the habit of talking to every brute I see, in addition to I was trying to reassure the geese that I meant their goslings no harm. You tin come across what they idea of my assurances. They hopped inwards the H2O in addition to swam off, watching us every bit they went. One tin entirely imagine what they were proverb to i another.
It was a lovely day. It's been grayness in addition to cloudy for the final calendar week or so, but the conditions was warm plenty I could last out without my sweatshirt.
Along the way nosotros saw the most beautiful blooming things. I don't know the names of most of these.
Pretty cherry azaleas. At our elevation, we're virtually a calendar week behind the valley inwards damage of blooming things. Our azaleas are only getting started, but these were inwards total bloom.
There were lots of wild roses.
Here's a pretty clematis. We had i of these at our previous home.
Dianthus. I planted some of these inwards i of our outdoor pots.
Don't know this one...it was actually non withal open.
This is a flowering currant. We convey a cherry multifariousness growing wild at the border of our woods. This i was a lighter shade of pink.
What is this? Mustard? The bees liked it.
So, it was a expert walk. I stopped off for a duet of ready-made items at a local grocery store. With Mike gone (and Matthew gone a expert purpose of the time), I haven't been cooking much beyond eggs. Like I said inwards an before post, I'm unaccountably useless these days...even to myself. So, I stopped off in addition to picked upwards some ready-made materials only for some variety, in addition to and so I headed for home. These days, I H2O ice my knees whether I scream back I take away to or not. Then, I tipped dorsum inwards my chair in addition to took a nap. This whole slug affair is getting to last a habit. For the balance of the day, I did absolutely nothing.
Today I'll last exterior doing the final of the weeding...although at this point, I take away to become dorsum to the areas I've already done. Some of the smaller things I missed get-go fourth dimension to a greater extent than or less are making a comeback. Mike made it to the western border of Illinois yesterday, in addition to I human face he's crossed into Iowa every bit I write this. Nothing was resolved virtually the roof, in addition to Mike was rather unhappy amongst what passed for "customer service" at that topographic point at the factory. In whatsoever case, his concerns are documented, in addition to we'll only topographic point it out of our minds for now. That way he's on his way home, in addition to he's aiming for a Sabbatum arrival. I told him non to rush it, but I human face he'll last domicile either Sabbatum or Sunday. It volition last expert to convey him home, in addition to I'm absolutely dying to come across the novel RV.
