Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 7th day of May, 2017.
Well looks like today may not be quite as beautiful as yesterday …. cloudy this morning but the sun is peeking through in spots.
Yesterday was amazing. Nice and warm.
I do not know what the temperature was but Alvin and I enjoyed hours outside.
I washed/hosed down the front, side and back of the house – as far as the hose would reach.
I washed/hosed down the deck – carefully getting into all the little spaces.
I brought out the patio furniture and washed it down before bringing out the cushions and putting it all in order.
Now just need some pretty flowers.
Also cleaned out the garage.
Started by folding up all the Steeped Tea cardboard boxes.
I had a lot of them.
Reorganize, rearranged, and then swept the floor.
Looks like a new place.
Lots of garbage for Tuesday morning.
In between did several loads of laundry and vacuumed.
Felt like I accomplished a lot.
After supper we went for a walk and not far away from home bumped into one of my guy neighbours with his dog “Jersey.”
Jersey is part bull-dog and I do not remember the rest but she is so cute and Alvin likes her.
They were on their way to the park.
He had a remote control truck with him ….. said that Jersey liked to chase after it at the park.
They usually go to the little area in between the lakes that is closed off except for the opening.
So quite enclosed.
He asked if we would like to go with him, so we did.
Ended up some kids were playing soccer in the little area so we stayed to the side which was away from the streets on both ends.
So cute watching Jersey chase after the truck.
You could tell she loved to catch the truck.
After a few minutes the battery died on the truck.
“J” said that he does not leave it fully charged as Jersey can not catch it.
He asked if we wanted to do the loop around the lake and “we” said yes.
I though that it was dry but apparently not as my shoes were soaked by the time we reached the sidewalk on the other side.
Oh, well.
Thank goodness I did not have my good ones on.
We bumped into friends along the way.
Such a great walk.
Nice to have conversation with a guy …..
Different perspective and all.
Great to have good neighbours.
After I got home I decided to bake some cookies.
Then we watched “Deepwater Horizon” ….. got to rent it for only $1.00.
Based on a true story from 2010.
Perfect ending to a great day.
Did I tell you that it rained all night?
Or for several hours anyway.
The grass out front looks more green this morning.
Well time to get dressed …. feeling lazy.
I was going to go out and do “my community service” and clean up the trash in my neighbourhood but ….. with the rain last night, I do not wish to pick up wet stuff.
It gets too heavy for me to carry.
I know that there is lots to pick up but I would rather it was dry.
Perhaps if it warms up and the sun goes out maybe this afternoon.
But my daughter may drop by for a visit this afternoon and she trumps everything.
I love time with my girl.
Well did I say time to get dressed, yes, I did.
I hope that you all had a great and productive and relaxing weekend thus far.
Happy Sunday.
Special Hello to my friends all over the world.
Always, Carol and Alvin
