10-15-23 Relax and Yard
I woke rested at my usual alarm time and just relaxed and enjoyed my coffee as I caught up on a few of my shows. It was nice to visit with Missy and just zone out. Eventually I got outside and took pictures of my pergola to advertise for free and asked for a quick pick up. I them began mowing and pruning and mulching and weeding. I was stunned to finally pull out a rose stalk that has appeared to be dead for two summers now, and find a huge new growth from the bottom wound in the weeds. I cleaned out the area and gave it a trellis and mulched it in hope of beautiful roses next year. My friend Bear, his wife and sweet baby, Coda, showed up to dismantle and take away the pergola to put over their hot tub. We had a nice visit and I hung all my Halloween décoré once they left. Tracey came over with a couple beer and we had a good catch up. I was so thrilled to see that she and her son had taken away all my transfer station stuff while I was gone. She really is the best neighbour I have had and I am glad I bought her a few items while I was away. I settled in my jammies, had a bit of dinner and got a message from Rae that it was her last shift and there was a photo shoot at 9. I got dressed in my Arby’s Christmas shirt and headed down. It was good to see so many folks, get a few pics of my own, have nice visit and a cuddle with Raj’s baby girl before heading home. It was a nice respite day before heading into the fray of the rest of the month
