Well this month is moving right along and I'll soon have another year on the record, wow where does this time go. Wednesday found me feeling better with the lower back pain so I fired up the riding mower and mowed all of the yards with a couple breaks in the middle of the 3 hours of mowing. I piddled around doing a few other chores as we put things away from all of our company and back into place.
I started the day much the usual with my cup of hot tea laced with turmeric and ginger, actually sister Dee brought me some tea bags with both ingredients which are much less messy. I did my quiet time lifting up several by name and giving thanks for my blessings. I finished up some leftovers for breakfast before heading out to check on the gardens and yards. The veggie gardens are doing as well as can be expected with all of the rain, however despite at times thunder and dark rain clouds it went around us today. The day before it poured buckets in just a matter of minutes, washing out the driveway which neighbor Gerald scrapped with his tractor, keeping it in good shape.
Nancy has several loads of laundry on the lines throughout the day as she is finally catching up on all the bed linen changes during the past week as people moved from the basement which has 3 beds to the upstairs bedrooms which have two queen beds in each room, plus our bed downstairs, oh well. The washing machine and dryer had a workout and so far are holding up especially the dryer as it's at least 25 years old and it was used when we got it. We replaced the washer a couple years back.
Well we had a nice salad with lots of fresh garden greens for lunch and then ate some canned beets from Dee's garden she brought for us, delicious to say the least. Beets and their greens are one of our favorite veggies and they accompanied salmon patties which we haven't prepared in quite awhile. After the supper cleanup we rode out to the mailbox and then to the top of the mountain on the golf cart. The deer were out in abundance as we saw several on our ride. We visited with a few neighbors on top of the mountain seeing a couple for the first time this summer. Everyone was out enjoying the coolness of the evening which wasn't great but better than the high 90's down off the mountain.
It wasn't long after a hot shower around 10'ish that I was ready for some horizontal lab except Nancy's phone rang around 12:30 awaking me and then again around 2'ish she heard a noise upstairs which was one of the baby seats had fallen causing a noise. I sure hope its not a mouse as I caught 3 yesterday down under the back porch and a couple in the red shed this summer. This is the first summer we have seen any mice but so far no evidence they are in the cabin, LATER
