Mice / rats didn't bother where those were.

On bed, drier sheets were every where on it.

Small,packets of moth crystals dissolved over the year it was stored.
 

Went riding this morning and took some pictures of a mostly-deserted but historic woolen mill. Several of the smaller buildings are antique shops and are shown in the aerial photo below.

By 11:00 AM it was warming up pretty good so I headed for the barn and some lunch. This afternoon was spent on household chores and prepping for dinner. As of right now it's right at 100° in the shade. All the plants are watered, critters fed and we are staying in where it's cool. May you all have a good evening.
 
Did some needed housework including laundry and then went for a late afternoon swim which was amazing. I found this nice sandy cove to swim and got a real close up of a jelly fish. It wasn’t as interested in me thank goodness.

The water was so crystal clear and it’s an added bonus to have the buoyancy from the salt water. It makes swimming that much easier.

We've never had RV problems with rodents, bugs or creepy-crawlies (knock on wood). They can wreak havoc in an RV, I know that for sure. They trashed a friend's RV.

Thanks for the tips.
 
Overslept this morning by about 2 hours, getting up at 7:30 instead of the usual 5:30. That put a crimp in my exploring plans for today, trimming down the number of places/planned stops from 7 to 5. I did manage to stop at our favorite family-owned sausage maker (i.e., Pekarski's Sausage) to pick up some smoked bacon and smoked pork chops., Got home late afternoon from a 200 mile ride and downloaded pictures from cameras and drone. Dinner is already done (i.e., beef and noodles in leftovers rotation) and just needs a little time in the microwave. This evening will be spent doing photo editing, We hope the day went well for you and yours.
 
Did a whole lot of little bits and bobs today.. putting things away, getting things out from storage for certain uses....climbing the ladder to clean the window frames outside after all the rain we've had the last few days... cutting back my dying roses over the front door...

A whole bunch of beauty treatments..

... chatting with my daughter on the phone instead of whatsApp..one of our dogs is really poorly..:( so it's costing a fortune for his treatment.. but we don't mind because he needs it...

One of those days where all the little bits make a whole day....:D
 
Yesterday my husband and I went for a drive to explore the area and look for another sandy spot and found a great one. If I had known we would have been that close to a sandy beach, I would have packed my swimming stuff. It was a beautiful sunny day and we saw quite a few really nice boats and another eagle. The dogs loved it.

Today I walked the dogs and as soon as I came back I went swimming for about an hour and it was lovely. The water is probably over 60 now which is much nicer. About half way through the swim I noticed a loon following me back along the coastline. It was about 200 feet away at least and kept diving in the water to catch fish but would pop up not far from me. It was pretty cool.
I didn’t know loons landed in salt water.

I’m adding pictures of the sandy beach and some of the boats we saw😉lol3C7F2934-2A22-4CBD-8949-AC2E0E5FD988.jpegE848EAB4-4B00-424E-9EF1-BCDE11E2F95D.jpegF2ACEFF4-FD8D-483A-BBB9-78C9BA8D4A34.jpeg

Spent this cloudy and rainy day at home doing computer work (design and photo editing). Unfortunatly, I had a remembrance ornament to make for a child who'd died. Thus, a good part of the afternoon was spent in the shop. We are looking for several days of good weather starting tomorrow, so some route planning is in order before bedtime. May we all have a better tomorrow.

How are you feeling?

Hurts a lot. It is very hard to move the replaced hip. The therapist gave me a new tool. You hook it around your foot on one end wrist on the other. This allows you to pull you leg close to the other leg as you get into and out of bed or move in bed. Both hips have to stay close at all times or it’s the pain from hell.

I also have my reach, my sock putter on, my sock taker off, and a long scratch thing. I was finally just barely to get my fitbit on my ankle. I am very swollen in both legs, especially the right ankle and knee. I have to take extra prednisone, furosemide, and increase my potassium daily. Also increase my magnesium Daily.

I had a strong pain killer in the hospital which made me sick so I refused it. Was sent home on a different strong pain killer, which I won’t take. But I have a light weight pain killer which I will take and did so it’s bearable. I have to walk for 5 minutes every hours 😂 bath room trips should take care of that.

Also put on blood thinner twice a day for a month. I hate to take blood thinners. Already have several bruises popping up. And I have a headache. Husband, who is supposed to help and took a week off work, went imto his room. As soon as we got home, and started watching tv. 🤦🏻‍♀️. 😡

House sold, signed papers last night. They wanted a 15 day close but because of my surgery gave us 30 days. It was a cash offer. 😃. The apartment is rented so all is good. Just need to pass inspection.

I will try and nap on and off today. Not sleeping at all. Supposed to eat 40 grams of protein a day, ugh, so hard to do.
 

What are you doing today?​

Chopping down all the briars and Trifids growing over my fence from next door and chucking them back over the other side of my fence.
I'm fed-up dodging them and getting a thorny smack in the face off them, yesterday one of them near took my eye out.
