A Slight Return....

We are still in that crispy morning groove.

Mid morning I decided to see how I felt getting back on my trike.  It was so windy when I headed west, I only made it for a mile and a half.  Even tho I had on a hooded sweatshirt and a fleece jacket with a hood I was freezing until I turned around to go home.

Had lunch, took a shower and went to the library for bridge.  Felt pretty good. Picked up a couple of tickets for a fundraiser being held there.....AFTER HOURS AT THE LIBRARY.

I was great until the last hand (we came in last) and then I had a coughing fit!  So embarrassed.

Gary did a lot of work in the kitchen garden...a major headstart on next spring.

He has started saving seeds.

I have continued to do research on sodium and potassium and have figured out how to leach potatoes so I can have them once in awhile.

Also made pork medallions

and a green salad.

Almost a normal dinner.

Last night Andrea sent me this photo of Buddy and he is looking so good.  Probably wonders where in the heck I have been.  Can't wait to get out there for a good grooming.

Night all.

 

Getting There

Not quite as crispy as yesterday.  Got up early to put the heater on in the Studio for my class and there was a beautiful sunrise.

Little Wonder and I did our normal morning stuff.....

I'm so glad I felt well enough to have my class.  Out there by ten and it was slim Pickens.  Anita had a private lesson.  Hopefully things will get back to normal next week.

Gary had a couple of appointments today.  In between, Finn came up to do a few things....like weed whacking and he helped Gary move a big cedar chest into the loft.  They also brought down this old desk and I turned it into a garden office on the kitchen porch.

Jen sent me more photos of the house.....this one is without the AI enhancements.

This is the one I posted yesterday.

Scott has now moved around to the East side and it is looking good.  After this is done he still has to do the entire back of the house (62 feet).  So impressed.

Chinese take out for dinner.  So good!  Poor Gary deserved a meal without my limitations.

Night all.

A Royal Pain

Felt like we were in the 40s this morning and topped off at about 55.

Plenty of sunshine.  I actually sat out in it for awhile on the back porch.

Gary spent some time in the kitchen garden.  Thinking about the changes we need to make so it's gorgeous for Ariana's wedding next September.

I'm all for more of these along the outside of the fence.

Plenty of good light inside and out.

This afternoon I made a trip to Wegmans and wore a mask.

Naan bread pizza for dinner.

Jenny was messing around on her computer today... working on the look she wants for the house and I love what she came up with.  The front of it is pretty much done and she added a walk and the garden.

Night all.

 

It's A Jungle in Here

Gorgeous light this morning....in the high 30s.

Talk about bed hair......

So peaceful.....

Little Wonder and I finished the series I have been watching and I was not very productive for the rest of the day.  Gary and I are still coughing....using a lot of Kleenex.  How long does this last?  Fortunately I don't have a fever and my sinuses are not achy.  That throat tickle does not give me a break.  I cancelled my Chiro appointment and music for tomorrow.

I did have a nice chat with my friend Sandra (Minnesota) and that was my upper for the day.

Gary was kind enough to bring in all that plants that were on the kitchen porch as it could get in the low 30s tonight.  Unfortunately it was late afternoon before I started taking pictures so they don't show up very well.  They should be putting plenty of oxygen into the rooms.  The ones that spent the summer outside grew like crazy (hibiscus).

So huge for this space.

By the way....I made the very worst dinner I have ever made in my life. Had a cauliflower and wanted to turn it into a cheesy cauliflower soup for dinner.  Try that without using salt or bouillon.  Yuck!  Will never do that again!!!!

Night all.
