This is my last task before I collapse and finally sleep.
Since there was hardly any food in the house, I scrambled a couple eggs at 5 am and we fell into bed. The thing about old folks though is that it's hard to break our natural routines, so sleeping past nine was out of the question. That's ok. I couldn't wait to get outside to see my gardens and mow!
It rained only once the whole time we were gone, so although the grass was long, it was also quite brown in the front. I zipped around the yard making hay rows of the cut grass. It will have to be raked tomorrow. Some of the hostas doubled in size! The most amazing change was the lupine. Fifty four spikes on one plant! And they were nearly four feet tall!
So, we did seven loads of laundry, mowed and trimmed the lawn, did grocery shopping, vacuumed the globs of black cat fur from everywhere in the house, sorted mail and papers and put away suitcases. On top of everything else, yesterday Steve missed the first day of the fire department's annual fund raising appeal, so he had to go out and do his route today. While he was out, I swam 150 lengths. Had to! The day was gorgeous and the water was 82 degrees!
Never got to download our trip photos, so that will come tomorrow when it's raining and then I will add photos to the posts. Now, it's time to sleep!
