What are you doing today?

In spite of a forecast of rain, it's been dry enough to get the grass cut. I have two mowers, one of which is falling apart, and the other which isn't very good. The first mower is 15 years old and I was given the second one by friends because I had to fix it so often for them, they said I could have it. I'm hoping that they will last this season and there might be some bargains come winter.

Other than that, it's been a quiet day.

Went up to the foothills for a cheese workshop today w/a lady friend of mine.
I was under the impression that we would be participating in making the cheese, but no.

It was from 1-4pm and the girl, Shelby, made chevre, mozz and ricotta.
Oh, I should mention that it's a goat farm, so all the cheeses were made w/goat milk.

And, we got to meet the goats. They were so cute.

Did you get to sample the cheese? I would have gone with you...of course, you probably would have had to drag me way from the goats! LOL 😂
 
Well I'm not long home from braving the heavy rain... 🌦️🌧️⛈️... Drove to the next town to take my item back to the store, only to be told as I bought it online it would have to be returned by post. grrrr!!!:cautious:... Then to the High street bank to do some banking..
Then dropped off 3 big sacks of donations to 2 different Charities....

Then to the Nail salon which was packed out so I didn't wait..., then to the garden shop for some pots and willow trellis ,...then to the supermarket for the weekly shop...

Dropped off all my tailoring at the alteration shop... it's going to cost a bit of an eye watering sum for those 10 blouses to be altered but hey it would be more expensive to buy new..

Everywhere was packed , probably because people are preparing for the 4 day Jubilee Celebrations this weekend

Wanted to get my car washed which is filthy , but it seemed pointless in the rain ... drove past local garage as I drove home, and they have the dam nerve to be charging £1.74 per LITRE of petrol :mad:

I slept for 10 hours last night and work up fever free. My throat is still raw, so Dio 🐐 still gets a break from my nagging....for now! 😂

So far today....
***I've put Chelveston in the chicken yard.
***I've had my coffee and my breakfast.
***I've made a few short posts on both forums...just to let everyone know I'm alive.
***And now I'm getting ready to go out and pour Andy's food from the bulk bag (44 lbs), into a more manageable container that is kept in the barn.

I think that will be all for a while...maybe lay down or watch a tv show. Depends on how I feel at the time. You never know what mischief I'll get into....stay tuned!

The only one we tasted, that was done quickly was the ricotta. It wasn't quite to my liking. I prefer the store bought!
The chevre was first, and it seemed to take the most amount of time to make. 8 hrs for this, then another 8hrs for that.
Way too long for me to be in the kitchen...

The goats were cute. A couple of them were pregnant. Our tour guide let a couple of girls hold the baby goats. They had already had their horns removed. Don't ask me why...I missed that part.

You can go w/me next time. :)

I would love to! That is soooo my kind of thing...food & critters! 💗
 
I didn't go to the parade or outside. It looked too hot out there. I have been working on those little jobs that I never get done. Organizing my bathroom closet. Piles of paper that needed filing or to go in the trash. I cut any white paper that is blank on the back in four squares and keep it on the bookcase for note paper. So did a bunch of those. Made the beef roast and it came out fork tender and tasty. A good keto meal! I experimented with making a iced coffee caramel macchiato with Keto Chow. For tomorrow. I think it will be good.
 
I need to stop answering this with what I'm planning to do...because half of it, I wind up not doing. :LOL: Soooo...so far today I did laundry, had a a very interesting conversation with my Honorary Granddaughter about some spiritual - metaphysical stuff while starting to put a new waistband in one of my slips (I hate to sew so I'll finish it another day). I ate and took a nap, played Words With Friends and watched the S4 premier episode of Stranger Things. Now I'm continuing the process of catching up on and reacting/responding to my threads.

Good Morning My Friends!

Today I think I might test drive Jazzy (my mobility chair) to the Grand Union. I need more spring mix for Rabbit so need to try it. At two I have Bingo downstairs in the community room. Other than that just regular house chores. Leftover pot roast for supper. Looks like a nice day so far.

I hope you all have a safe and fun day!

For a second that made me start... because the Grand Union here..is a Canal... :D
 
No plans for today whatsoever. I did a huge amount of running around yesterday in the pouring rain, and then last night we had absolutely TORRENTIAL rain all through the night, so everything is sodden this morning despite it not raining now. However it is overcast and rain is expected again around now... noon....


..so I'll just see where the day takes me ..(y)
 
Yesterday which was Memorial Day holiday we usually hear fireworks starting at dusk but considering what happened on May 14th,I didn't hear any which was a blessing. I don't know if this will continue when next holiday July 4th comes
This morning,the birdies woke me up at 4:30 was able to go back to sleep for an hr
On my early walk at 6:30 went to mailbx at the corner of my street,came back watered the plants in community garden
My plans today go to local grocery store,couple blocks away,take another walk before the rain comes this afternoon,read NYT/local paper, read my book
 
Drove back to Americus via a different (more scenic) route today... the newly sown fields of-- soybeans? not sure-- the rapidly growing and lush fields of corn, the ponds reflecting the blue sky... It sure was pretty.

Now home and plan to make some home-made granola ... mine is more flavorful than the store-bought stuff and *not* 5-6 dollars a bag!

If I get busy and don't get a chance to say it over the next couple days== to all our UK and Commonwealth friend, congratulations to Queen Elizabeth on her Jubilee and continuing to be a role model of grace, kindness and class =D
