A few things needed at the grocery store......very few.....still trying to get over the receipt shock from last week.
Getting refills on some meds.....mail.
And......
Going to be pouting just like i did yesterday.
Our great weather ended......Wednesday.....sunny, 27......yesterday gloomy.....few drops of rain and a big 6 degrees.
Today the same.:(:confused:😞
Will do my usual cleaning chores and back to pouting.
 

This morning I tore apart my little card table turned computer station to replace the worn table covering.

Naturally, the dust bunnies had to come out and see what all the commotion was about.

Now I need to get cleaned up and make a grocery run before it gets too hot.
 
Having spent most of yesterday on the motorcycle making a spring pilgrimage to the haunted Hoosac Tunnel ( a train chasing thing), today is a stay-at-home, do chores type of day, including workshop time and a trip to the supermarket. Having miraculously recovered a disastrous, burned-pot, chicken dish by pure luck yesterday, ingredients are needed to make it again and put it into the meal rotation, this time without the burned food in the bottom of the pot. Today's kitchen prep will be beef and noodles for tonight's dinner.
 

Well for the 3rd day we have high winds and rain and cold , so I've stayed home.

DD has been concerned about her middle Dog that occasionally she's seen certain things happening to him, that's she's observed in older dogs she's had who have died in recent years , so as he's 12 years old now, and none of her labradoodles have got past 13, she took him to the Vet and had tests on him.. transpires he's fit as a fiddle..slightly enlarged liver which she knew about, but that's to be expected at his age, but otherwise he's fit and and healthy..

She took him for a walk along the riverside before heading home, he's so active he loves to run, but the gale force winds were blowing him everywhere... :ROFLMAO:

Back from the local Wegman's.

While I was shopping someone scraped my car and left a series of white scratches 6' long on the passenger side of my vehicle.:(

My vehicle is a 2012 and I can buff out most of the damage.

My complaint is that the person responsible didn't leave a note with contact information. :mad:
 
I got my early morning chores done and took a walk where I ran into my two feisty 85 year old lady friends (Sarah and Joanna) and their dogs Micky and Amber, These two are real characters and always liven up the morning. I logged a little over 5000 steps, before I decided to head home because it is starting to get hot. I am shooting for 10,000 steps a day with some strength building exercises on top of that. Our temps are going up to about 97F to 99F next week, and with our humidity the heat index will be well above 100F.

I have no date with Sally Miele the vacuum cleaner because we decided to change from Field Day Friday to doing our weekly cleanup on Tuesdays. I am going to call it "Titivation Tuesday" from now on. I was starting to hate Fridays anyway.

Weather is pretty awful, so it's inside work today.
Started to clean and paint the "glory hole" (junk cupboard) after a quick vacuum round. I've got a Miele washing machine, but I stick to 'Henry' vacuum cleaners. Forecast for tomorrow is much better, but it will still be redecorating work for us.

I hate Henry Vac's... they just don't pick up well enough on all surfaces..

Treat yourself to a Miele Cat & Dog if you have animals....even tho' we don't have animals now, it's great for picking up hair ...
 
The plan for today is to ride some roads that fit an old goat like me. The road should be a mix of gravel, sand and dirt. It should have hills, twists and turns. Potholes and ruts are good but not as deep as 1 ft., please. Some flat and relatively smooth portions are welcomed. A little mud and slime is OK but just not on the steep, winding portions. A few scattered homes along the way is good in case you get into trouble and cell coverage is bad. The road should be well-shaded, if not like a forest tunnel, to stay cool. It will challenge the old riding skills, but only a little. The road will look like this:

Such places remind me of Green Mansions. They make me smile and assuage the things that hurt.

Our yard has been beset by rabbits this year, early in the morning it's like "Night of the Lepus," out there.
It wouldn't be so bad, but they get in our fenced in backyard and make their baby bunny nests where our dachshund hangs out. As Loretta Lynn said in "Coal Miner's Daughter" "No more sense ne'er a rabbit."

So our project the last two days has been to trim all the weeds around the fence and then spray the perimeter with rabbit repellent which is actually fox urine. I have to do that part because I have old shoes that can be thrown away when we get done. It's hard work but it does make a change.

So far this morning ,, I'm undecided as what to do today.

I really need to dust everything in this house.
Does anyone else hate to dust?

Hubby is out in the wood pile,, I thought he would want to go to a flea market today.

I don't hate dusting..I don't have lots of little ornaments to get around, everything is quite large so it's easy to reach around corners, and up high on pictures and everywhere with my long handled dusters...:D

It's miserable here too.. threatening to rain, and grim. It's a shame because it's the first weekend of our semi re-opening as a country, and I'm sure plenty people will be taking advantage of restaurants and museums et al.. but not for us on a day like this.

I've done all my chores this morning, and o/h has gone to collect his stuff from the cleaners, and get some new keys cut for the barn.

he lost a back tooth yesterday, I told him to find an emergency dentist, but he's kicking his heels about it, so as he won't be warned that he might be in agony by next week while he's at work.. there's nothing more I can say!! :rolleyes:
 
So far, I've cleaned up the breakfast dishes, filled the ice bin, and damp mopped the kitchen floor.

Next on the list is to clean the bathroom.

Then I need to clean myself and tote a few things down to the recycling room in the basement.

It may sound silly but it makes me feel good when the things I leave in the basement disappear before trash day.

It's comforting for me to know that there are a few kindred spirits close by. :giggle:
