I am reading Away In A Manger by Rhys Bowen. Yes, it’s a Christmas book. I am reading the series in order and have just not been able to get a copy of this one from one of the other libraries in the system.
Today was pretty much a repeat of yesterday. Gym this morning, home, and back to the gym for the middle of the day shift.
The weather was a repeat of yesterday; partly sunny, warm, and humid with not much of a breeze.
Gym this morning then back home to give Colin some playtime, take a shower, and head back to the gym to work the middle of the day shift.
It was mostly cloudy today at times looking like it might pour down. It did not rain at the gym or here. Temperatures in the upper 70’s with not much of a breeze and high humidity. I harvested a zucchini yesterday which I will cook for my dinner tonight.
We had a leisurely morning; I slept in until 8:45. Al took Colin out and fed him his breakfast for me. He picked another big bucket of apples yesterday evening. This morning he pealed spaghetti sized cooking pot full and cooked me up a batch of applesauce for the freezer. We watched a show on NetFlix and ate some lunch. About noon we had a couple of big thunderstorms roll through for a couple of hours. I guess we’ve had close to an inch of rain.
They headed down the mountain and I pulled out the vacuum to get the worst of the dog hair and other stuff I tracked in all week off the floor and cleaned the bathrooms.
Frances and Al arrived yesterday evening around 7pm. I had Digiorno pizza’s ready to come out of the oven when they got here.
This morning Al moved all the stuff from the front porch and power washed the front and north side of the house and eaves. The back and other side are too high off the ground and do not get weathered as much. I have a bottle of house cleaner I can use with the hose to do the side where the deck is another day.
We are grilling chicken, beef ribs, and zucchini for dinner tonight.
I am reading Murder in the Secret Garden by Ellery Adams.
Gym this morning. Yesterday when Bonnie and I met for lunch we exchanged plant material. I took her some more hens and chicks and she gave me iris bulbs and some cone flowers. I planted those this morning and did a few other gardening chores. It is still hot and dry. We really need rain but nothing in sight other than a chance for scattered showers.
I am washing a load of clothes and doing indoor stuff this afternoon.
