Where does the time go....

 Pati, you are right in telling us about  the days having a habit of going by quickly as I, too, think I have lots of time and after puttering doing this and that all morning , realize that it is already mid afternoon...so might as well sit out back under the umbrella and enjoy a little drink. We take the dogs out to sit with us as they love that. They each have a blanket and are tied with their harnesses so they will not suddenly run (which may happen if they see or hear a dog going by on the street)  But yesterday was different as I sat twiddling my thumbs in idle frustration. Light bulb moment! I went in and came back out with my sewing box and hexi quilt that is in progress. Why had I not thought of this before?? I sat happy as could be sewing more hexis onto the almost finished border and sipping from my wine goblet and generally enjoying the rest of the afternoon. 

The tomatoes need some attention right now as they all need to be tied up - growing too much. Maybe we should do a little less sitting and a little more working than we do now haha! We have been eating lots of little red tomatoes as this year we planted a few new kinds that sounded nice such as Red Robins and Sweeties that are both small and grow in clumps like grapes. And they truly are delicious just off the vine. I pick Kale every day and not just for the rabbit which I give him every morning as a treat. I like the Kale for salads ot sandwiches, and as I have mentioned before, Harry likes it air dried in our new machine and eats them as seasoned "chips".

Tomorrow is my annual Hearing Assessment in Huntsville. I often wonder if the hearing aids are helping to keep my hearing from deteriorating too quickly. The last time they adjusted them a bit but only because they had gone back to the factory for a check before the three year warranty expired. Time will tell. And I must make a dentist appt soon as I have been neglecting that in the last while. And you speak of your hair needing a cut...me too! But as I look at it in the mirror ( in great horror) I wonder what it would look like growing longer again. I know I always cave in after it falls all over my face, but in a way I  would like to try it again. My hesitation is in that I do not have a regular dependable hairdresser in town anymore and would have to try out one the others around. Oh well...

And I offer my wishes for you both to stay safe as well. Take care and be good. ❤

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...
