Rainy Day people...

 ...stay inside and do cleanup. Actually over last few days I have been having some fun in the dining room and front room starting to sift through stuff and generally trying to tidy. Little chunks at a time is my MO. If ones looks at a job with a broad lens - it seems impossible but to break it up into small workable tasks...it seems less impossible haha!  I just finished dusting (washing) off the Grandfather clock of our fathers making. For so long i have had it stopped just because it was not easy to access regularly to pull up the chains but hopefully now i will be able to get it working again. Do either of you wish to have your clocks working again ...my question mark keeps coming up with the French etude (É) How do I get rid of that..any ideas É

Sunflower Festival today downtown today. The whole Main Street closed and over 100 vendors set up ...and yet it pours rain, continuously, and it booms with thunder off and on and our lights flicker off and on. What a shame for the organizers and for the vendors.Usually it is a bright sunny and festive day with lots of people and events and food and music and in the evening a street dance. Harry went down this morning but i choose to stay home. He brought home for me some butter tarts and some rhubarb crisp from a lady we know well who bakes.....so I am not afraid to eat her products. And I have had a nice treat tasting some of it already.

I was just outside here to do a walk about the yard and check the downspouts and ensure the water is flowing away from the house  well. I guess we will not have to do any watering of the plants tonight.

Thinking of you both and hope your day is going well. Take care and sending our chosen heart felt message - be safe. ❤

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...
