Good Morning and Day 2 of my Vacation Days (Day 5 since my last day of work).
A very warm one is one the way.
The sky is a delicate blue, there is virtually no breeze at all and the sun is glowing like the powerful ball in the sky that it is.
Yesterday I defrosted and cleaned the fridge, cleaned the oven, and finished my craft project.
So it was a busy day.
As we have been doing since Sunday morning we were out walking bright and early.
Well 7:30 a.m.
We were already into the park when Alvin spotted a “shopping cart.”
It had been on the other side near the entrance yesterday morning and he did not acknowledge the beast.
But this morning …. it got his gaw.
He gave the big green monster a wide girth as we walked by, growling and barking until we were clear.
So funny.
Oh me Alvin.
We encountered not a soul … not cats out in the yard enjoying the sunshine …. no humans out walking their Alvins.
Just me and Alvin.
I will say it was kind of nice.
As we walked into the park – I had to stop and move my glasses (with sunglass clips) to fully appreciate the rich green of the trees and grass.
Absolutely breathtaking.
The green is my favourite shade of green ….. grass green ….kelly green would best describe that shade.
Picture perfect with the blue sky and the green grass and trees.
As we came near our friend’s house …. we briefly stopped to admire her flowers.
She has one of the most gorgeous flower gardens that I have ever seen.
Well before it gets too hot, I want to give Mr. Alvin a hair trim and bath.
So have to get going as want to begin before 9:00 and be done no later than 11:00 a.m.
Otherwise it will be too warm.
I think Alvin will be pleased to have a bath on a hot day.
I will follow with a shower.
My TO DO LIST is starting to get shorter with each passing day.
The only item that I may not get done this week is washing all of the window blinds in the house.
There are blinds on each window so there are a great many.
Might leave them for next Monday, we shall see.
This is vacation after all.
But also time to get those extra time consuming jobs completed.
I hope that you are safe and in good health, keeping cool.
For all those birthdays in August …. WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I think that I know at least one person with a birthday every day in August.
We stopped and picked up the mail on the way home.
I had two non-junk pieces of mail.
One was a birthday card from my Aunt and Uncle, so treasure her cards and letters.
I am saving the letter for later to read and enjoy.
The other was a brown envelope from Revenue Canada …. I was not sure what that would be.
When I opened it – pleasant surprise.
Information about applying for CPP or better known as Canada Pension Plan.
All the details including amounts that I could receive pending on when I apply.
Okay time to fly.
Get this day going …..
Wishing all creatures on this earth to live with kindness and respect.
I/We shall remain,
As Always, Alvin and Carol
