Outside work on hold for today...

 The sun is a hazy orange orb in the sky obscured in a cloth of smokey skies. The air is pungent and the throat is achy and the eyes are sore  and watering. That was our early morning walk to the South River park with the dogs - a shortened walk for sure, as we are cloaked in this smokey and spooky haze. Never been this bad.

I have lots to do inside so all shall be good for now. There is the annual Book sale planned for August and towards that end, the organizers of the event ( local United Church and local Library)  have called for used books. Good...a chance to purge some books and feel that they will go to a good cause.I have already taken one a box to the drop off spot and plan to gather and box up more. Of course that takes a while because I have to go through them all and remember reading them and decide if i could live without them. I have my individual favourites and my series of favourites which I shall hold onto for now.

Tomorrow I have a Physio appt and expect to see this as the last for now...take a break and if needed go back for an assessment in the Fall. I feel that I have progressed perhaps to my new normal maximum ability but shall of course, seek the PT's advice as well.

My plea for rain has to date remained unanswered except for a few drops yesterday that amounted to nothing. Thunderstorms in the forecast - could they bring rain one asks???

Hope all is well with you both..happy to read your messages and wonder if the "hash" was made and consumed? We had corn on the cob bought from the local Farmers Market which once again has set up here in the Village for the summer. Prices are very high but the produce so far has been fresh and good.  Thinking of you always....

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
