Today was my ‘loner’ day – catching up on chores and errands that I didn’t want to do with Chase here. He’s a pretty quiet kid but it still seems lonely and quiet without him in the house! I did my normal Saturday ‘change and wash sheets’ and fill weekly pill box, then had cinnamon swirl toast for breakfast.
I headed to Miller’s Crossing in Irwin to get my jar of honey. While I was there I (of course!) walked around and looked at everything. I keep my eyes open for Beanie Baby skunks – but today I found a cow! I had a white one but now I have twins! Well, this one in black with a white spot. But it’s really cute.
The black one is new – I had the white one. They’re hard to find!
From there I went looking for a birthday gift for Millie. It wasn’t exactly what I started out looking for in my mind, but I really think it will be a good choice. Also picked up a raffle basket gift for the family reunion. They are both the same weekend.
Just as I was leaving Irwin I got a call to go look at the treadmill that I heard about. It was pretty much the right size – smaller and lighter – but it felt like it needed a little more ‘medical’ attention than I knew how to do. I plan to sleep on it and pray about it and decide tomorrow. I do have a back-up plan…
Once I finally got home and had my green (yellow) beans for lunch, I went outside to work. I spread the top soil and planted a bit more seed where the fire pit was – then watered it. I trimmed some plants that were out of control and then swept the walks. My plan it to mow tomorrow evening or Monday morning. And that’s it!
Stepping stone grown over…
There it is!!!
More top soil to fill in.
Irises out of control
Much better.
The new neighbor puppy – Willow – kept an eye on my while I worked. Ken said the fence people put his fence too close to mine. We can’t get through!
Now the COW is watching me!
Too close….
