Monday Musings

This morning after breakfast, I read the paper and than the mail as it came just as I was finishing the paper. The only thing that I kept was the visa bill, I shredded a couple credit card applications and filed the rest in the recycling bag, and then I went on line and paid the visa bill.

Then I went outside and took the kitchen scrapes out to the composter and brought the kitchen scrap container back inside and washed it out. Then I went back outside and grazed on some blueberries and raspberries.

When I had my snack I did a little weeding, although it seemed to take a lot longer than I thought it should have for the small area that I got weeded. By this time it was about 1400, so I went inside, cleaned up and reheated the "Mexican" rice from yesterday.

Then I went back outside and sat in the sun for a while. Of course that did not last too long before I could see some work that needed doing. So I got my pruners out and cut off all the suckers from the Italian prune tree that I cut down last winter. I even went over to my neighbors and cut off the ones on her side of the fence as well.

Later in the afternoon I decided to go out and pick a quart of raspberries for our neighbor, right now they are coming on faster than we can pick them or give them away. She appreciated them and as I was leaving Kathleen brought over some roses from our garden.

Kathleen had some prescriptions called in that needed to be picked up so about 1830 we took off to Fred Meyer' and picked them up along with a couple salmon fillets and some salad form the deli. I also got a block of Limburger cheese and some cottage cheese.

We had about half of the salmon and the salads, so that means that we can have some more another day. Tomorrow Kathleen has her appointment with the urologist and we are hoping that the stint will be coming out. She has been so sore, and I think once the stint is out she can start to feeling better. Well, that is about it for today so I will just sign off and say good night.
