Monday 4/30. The overcast broke up and the sun was shining before noon, so I hung the wash outside.
JB used the tractor to move a pile of branches from the grove to the wood cradle. We also moved the wood I had split yesterday to the wood shed in two loads where I stacked it in row three. Then JB got the trailer ready for our trip Down There with all the recycle tomorrow.
It was another delightful Spring day, with a high of 58. Our little herd of deer were back to graze in the evening.
Tuesday 5/1. May Day began with mostly clear skies and a temperature of 40. About a week ago we had received an envelope from Aunt Nene that said "Do Not Open Until May 1". Inside was a May basket! (See photo above) I hadn't received a May basket since I was in grade school. What a great start to a new month.
We loaded the trailer with all the recycle: paper, cardboard, cans, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles. This time the dogs were in the house. We left after 9:30 am for the slow trip down. Since we had the trailer, our last stop was at Costco for large and heavy items, such as dog food, paper towels and toilet paper.
On the way back up, we stopped at Larry and Elsie's to set a time for playing marbles this evening. Larry told JB to bring his HMR-17 so they could do some target shooting. We agreed to be back at 6:00 pm.
Back home, JB made a big pot of chili while I took a nap. We left after dinner, changing the card in the game cam on the way. Elsie and I had a great chat while the men enjoyed their target practice. Then we played two games of marbles and the ladies got skunked! But both game were so close, just a toss or two of the dice. Such an enjoyable evening.
Our high for the day had been 59, on another great Spring day.
Wednesday 5/2. It is 42 with clear skies this morning.
Thought for the day: I just did a week's worth of cardio - I ran into a spider web.
