Today has been a bit more productive than yesterday was but not by much. A friend dropped by unexpectedly around noon and we ended up going to lunch together. That was a nice surprise. We had a nice visit.
Got a few little things crossed off my to do list today. I didn’t make it outside to work yet but still may as it is cooling down a bit. My intern went home this weekend so I turned the A/C off. The house warmed up quickly. I am not a fan of hot weather.
Am going to be fixing breakfast for my Symphony guests next weekend on Saturday and Sunday. I will be feeding 10 of us. Good think I got some practice while Kathy was here. I think I will use the same menu for Saturday that I used for the coffee I had for Kathy. Sunday I will fix steel cut oats in the crock pot as I have a feeling everyone will be eating at different times after coming in late Saturday night. Found out two of the guests will be staying until Monday. I am learning how to stay flexible when I have guests.
I made my grocery list for the items I will need for the breakfast. I will have to go shopping next week to get everything. I’m glad Jim will be here to help me.
One of the chickens has a hurt leg. Not sure what to do to help her. She is limping badly on it. I’ll keep an eye on her and make sure she can get in the coop at night and can get to food and water. May need to put her down if not. One of the other chickens has deformed feet and stays inside all of the time. I catch her in the nesting boxes occasionally so thinking she is laying eggs. I don’t use a vet for my chickens.
It has been nice to have some empty space the last two days. Looking at my calendar for the rest of the month makes me tired as I don’t have many more empty space days left after Tuesday next week. I don’t like when I get that busy and that happens. I do much better with at least three empty space days a week.
It has been a beautiful day on the prairie today. It got up to 87 today and the skies were bright blue with no clouds in sight. The wind was calm. The sunset tonight will be beautiful.
I did manage to make it to Strong City and remembered to fill the gas tanks with gas so I could weed eat when the urge strikes. Haven’t mustered the courage to fire up the new weed eater yet. Maybe I will yet tonight.
Back in my peaceful valley tonight. My soul has gotten refilled and my calm has returned. I am not feeling so overwhelmed with everything tonight. I’m grateful to be back in my happy space. Trusting tomorrow I will have more energy and will be able to knock some things off my to do list. It is to be warm again tomorrow and then cool down. Maybe I will get out in the morning before it gets too hot and get some things done.
Grateful for an empty space type of day, grateful for a friend that stopped by to visit, and grateful I have landed in my peaceful valley again.
