My firewood guy was here at 7:40 and we had the cord unloaded/stacked by 8:10. I'm about to wake DD, then will shower and wash hair, have DD braid hair then get ready to take our new feline, Mirabel, to out vet some 45 minutes away. Stopping on way out of town to leave garbage at the dump.

B&B..Balcony & Book..ideal conditions...
 
It's 4.10pm..I've been in and out to the garden all day..1/2 hour our..same back in... Finally found my lawn sprinkler in the shed, so that means I can get the lawns watered this evening...☀️

Just sat outside and had a bowl of Red & green grapes, & strawberries with fresh cream...

Tracking info says my Amazon delivery is 7 stops away.. ..nothing exciting, just a new garden parasol cover..
 
I'm about to move some things around (maybe into a donation box) to make room for the instant pot with air fryer accessories that I just acquired. While I think the setup is worthwhile (especially since I didn't have to buy it), this is the exact reason I dithered about getting one.

I've already got too many small appliances.

I haven't heard of this accessory. I just use a pressure cooker on the stove, but really, not that often. A hunk of frozen-solid beef does well though, for beef stew and soups.

Let me know how you like yours.

So far I've only used it to cook dried, soaked beans, which it does spectacularly well. Garbanzos for hummus, kidney beans for salads and soups, that kind of thing. I've ordered a couple of IP recipe books from the library in hopes of additional inspiration.

An extra lid and accessory pack turns it into an air fryer.

I'm reviving this old thread for people who want to talk IP, pressure cookers and air fryers:

I am off to bed to sleep for a few hours, grandson coming over for a few hours tomorrow. Lots of fun coming. Must be ready to be the fun Grandma!

Cut the grass this morning. I'll trim round the edges tomorrow. Lifted the garlic - got a good crop with large bulbs. Hung two lots of washing out to dry. It's a nice day for it - warm (about 68F) with a gentle breeze. Making paella for dinner.

Hope it is a big pan, we all might just show up! LOL
 
Today is Saturday! And lucky for me it feels like Saturday. I didn't roll out of bed until 6:30.

So far this morning I've planted about 1/3 of the area that had the fungus.

I started keying this in around 930 when DD said she was ready to go Walmarting. And here we are, hours later, Walmarting done and next week's work schedule checked.

After planting the Bermuda seed, it was watered well. Then we left. It hasn't sprouted yet. What's taking so long????

My wonderful grandson is here helping with some heavy chores... taking down drapes for me to wash, swept deck/webs, tossed some old flower pots and will pull out stove and fridge, vacuum and wash kitchen floor..... etc. He won 't accept payment but I'll order a big pizza. I love that guy!

He also washed the slider windows and vacuumed the stairs and upstairs hallway. He was going the vac the living room, but I stopped him. He and the leftover large pizza are off to the girlfriend's house now.

Um...no window? No running water, flush toilet? And...no a/c? Pfffft. What I'm trying to say is that there's not much possibility of turning it into a she shed.

Who said it doesn't have those things? o_O

It looks obvious, that you just open the door (by saying Open Sesame, and then pressing the button on the remote with a picture of castle door) and behold, there are all of the luxurious amenities!:giggle:

What I'd like to know, is where will all of the wait-staff live?:unsure:
 
Tonight just about an hour before dark, I went out and valeted the interior of my car. It's not untidy at all, but I wanted to dust all the surfaces inside, then wash all the plastics and leather surfaces quickly .. then I polished them with New Car scented oil... I so love that smell of new car... . 🥰

Then I treated all the rubber seals with a sealant oil to prevent them cracking in this heat.. fortunately I have plenty in the barn..

Then a Quick vac with the hand held vacuum , and I was done ..and the car looks and smells like new..
