Quite the Day
This is what has been waited for . . . spring! Lena would have been proud. Stripped the bed and all quilts were out on the clothesline. The breeze had its way with them. I did not hang the flannel sheets out as I can’t handle them. They would have needed to be rewashed as I know they would have drug on the dirt before I got them heaved over the clothesline. Dennis’ electric mattress pad was light enough to heft it and it billowed in the breeze. No . . . it’s not going to be put away. As cold blooded as Dennis’ feet are . . . check back at the 4th of July time frame.
Dennis had taken off quite early with his Cub Cadet. Brett’s shop has a power washer and it was just eating at Dennis to get over there and take grime and old grease off of the bottom on the tractor. After the power wash ditty, Dennis stopped by to pick up quarters and he was off to give the Cub a once over at the car wash. After a full day and a fresh bed, I think there is going to be some deep sleep for the ole cowboy tonight.
Time out. I sat on the patio and enjoyed watching a bit of traffic. It didn’t take long Snuggles was on my lap and stretched out as if we were going to make a full afternoon of it. We have waited a long time to enjoy some patio time with the lilacs sending whiffs of aromas, oh so sweet. Though not as many blooms as other years, I was thankful for what we got. I repeat, patio time was sweet. If one would venture off the concrete, there would be mud on the shoes. The soil is soaked.
The plan is to wait until work can be done in the perennial beds while not dragging half of the gardens around on my feet. I hate muddy shoes that need to be cleaned. It’s all about the timing.
