Yesterday was a really nice day with the temperature hovering around eighty degrees with just enough puffy clouds to make the sky picture perfect. Before breakfast O went out and picked enough berries for my breakfast and also a days worth of tomatoes.
Then after eating I went outside and watered the berries, vegetables and roses pulled a few weeds in the back yard. While I was doing that I discovered a bird that met an untimely death. I have been noticing a lot of cats in the back yard lately so I am afraid that one of them did the dirty deed.
I guess that is one of the drawbacks from encouraging birds to ones yard. I am not sure if there is a way around that or not, but it is hard to keep the cats out of the yard.
I was still pretty sore from Thursdays sledge hammering the concrete so I did not feel like doing a lot of work; but while I was outside I though that I would see if I could break the old rusty bolts and nuts loose so that I could take the supports off the backboard and make it a much more compact pile.
After cleaning up I made myself some lunch and then waited for Kathleen to see if she wanted to go cabinet shopping. She finally called down and let me know that she was getting ready so I went upstairs and changed my clothes.
We looked at two cabinet shop outlets the first one was out in Boring, not too far from Alyssa and Dan's place. We walked around and looked for a couple hours and my back and feet were really killing me and Kathleen's were starting to hurt as well so we decided to think about it some more and head home.
As we got close to home Kathleen asked if we needed bread, and I said that we really did not but we could put some in the freezer so we decided to stop to see what they had. In the same area we passed by another cabinet shop that we had looked at before so we decided to stop to see what they had now.
Since they were only going to be open for another half hour I felt that I could probably stand that so we looked around and saw some things that Kathleen liked. We also found some bread, donuts and rolls at the Oroweat outlet.
After leaving there we stopped at the Barn and picked up some fresh produce. While the Barn is nice it is not nearly as convenient as when Rossi farms had their barn as it was just down the street.
So for dinner we had corn of the cob and left over sweet meat squash, peas and some left over sesame chicken. I think that there is still some chicken left over and a couple ears of corn so that is probably what we will have for dinner tonight.
This morning was just like a morning at the coast, overcast until about 1030 and then it started to burn the clouds off and turned out to be a really nice day.
This morning after I finished eating and cleaning up the kitchen I waited until I heard Kathleen moving around upstairs and then I went up and stripped the bed, loaded it into the washer and then went outside and picked the ripe tomatoes. By the time I finished the washer had finished so I loaded the bedding into the dryer and started it up.
While they were drying I made myself a couple sliced chicken, tomato and pepper jack cheese sandwiches and then put them into the toaster oven. By the time I finished eating and cleaning up the dryer went off so I took the bedding out and took it upstairs and remade the bed.
I noticed that a couple of my pillows we getting pretty squishy so I took them downstairs and put them into the washer. They are just about done now so I think that I will wrap this up and call it a day for blogging.
