Sunday, Sunday
No good deed goes unpunished. Having had a light supper last night, a dish of vanilla ice cream sounded good at eight last night.
Wouldn’t you know it! Four a.m. a bathroom visit was needed. I went back to bed with eyes wide awake. The dang birds were tweet tweeting to high heaven. I got up and sat on the front deck and took in a fair amount of traffic watching. Dennis got up at his usual time, six, and I greeted him with “Good Morning.” I was sitting in my rocking chair. He was surprised that I was up. Once I could smell the coffee, I knew I was up for the day. When the coffee was done, we both sat on the front deck with that freshly brewed black stuff. Dennis, then with his breakfast box under his arm and his thermos type of coffee cup headed to the patio porch.
I went into the studio and got some items together that I had started yesterday.
By eight Dennis was in for a nap and I put a jacket on and went out to the gardens. The weed that had put out such beautiful purple flowers was now done for the year. Honey Bunny joined me and we pulled them up by their shallow roots. Another bundle of greenery awaits drying by Dennis’ burning ring. I even beat the bumble bees that love the Russian Sage by nabbing a hefty growth of nightshade in one of the corners of their purple blooms.
With energy spent I came in and settled down to watch some YouTube videos. My day just kept rolling along. I now have Dennis’ favorite cold salad cooling in the refrig. It’s the one with the pasta little rings, diced Spam, diced onion, green peas, diced celery and mayo. Both Carrie and Kevin like it as well.
Guess who is going to be in bed earlier than usual tonight, and . . . no ice cream.
Tomorrow Dennis is going to Mankato to pick up his first pair of specialized shoes since the left foot has totally healed from . . . no toes.
I am heading to New Ulm in the afternoon tomorrow to have a repair on my car. Yippee! It is covered under my warranty. My favorite daughter-in-law will rescue me from the several hour wait as we go for a soft drink. Sweet.
