Another beautiful spring like day on the prairie today. The wind has reached over 30 MPH though. If you can find a spot out of the wind and in the sun it is nice and warm. It reached 70 degrees today!
I worked on my to-do list a bit this morning. We brought a load of Jim’s stuff to the house when we came from Stillwater and then filled the car with stuff we need for the wedding to take to Stillwater. We are taking a table, folding chairs, an ice chest and my big mixer. Hope I haven’t forgotten anything as we won’t be back again until after the wedding.
This afternoon we drove down to Matfield Green to go to Pioneer Bluffs. They had Farmer Derek give a presentation today. If you have never seen his video’s they are fun to watch. Go to You Tube and search for Farmer Derek. He seems like a very nice young man that has a wonderful sense of humor and is very creative.
We didn’t get any deck work done today. It is too windy to be on a ladder painting. I had some other painting I could have done but the wind would have blown the paint everywhere.
I got the cake ordered I am using for the reception in Strong City the weekend after the wedding. Nice to cross one more thing off my list. A neighbor is making it for me. I have my grocery list ready for that week so I can make the other food I am serving. Jim will take care of the wine and beer that week. Grateful I don’t have to make those choices. I don’t drink and never know what kind to buy.
I noticed this afternoon my hands are extremely dry. Whenever I come home from Stillwater I seem to dry out when I get here. Does 200 miles north make that much difference?
We cut cockleburs out of both dogs again today. I lost count a long time ago as to how many we cut out. Managed to not cut the skin on either dog. Sophia still has some more but she had enough of me pulling on her again. I might get one more go around on her before we leave tomorrow.
The kids were going to come out but something came up and they couldn’t come. I need to think of something to fix for dinner. I have some hamburger thawed so need to use that up. Wonder if I can fix the same thing as last night and call it good?
The time home has gone by too fast. I am so looking forward to the end of April when we can come stay for several weeks in a row.
The next two weeks are going to go by quickly. It is getting to be crunch time for the wedding. I’m grateful most everything is planned and ordered. Have a few last minute follow-ups to do next week. We are stopping at Costco on the way through Wichita tomorrow to get some items off my list for the dinner and brunch we will be hosting at Jim’s house the day before and the day of the wedding. I have my grocery list ready for the Thursday before the wedding for the rest of the stuff.
I’m starting to get excited and ready to party!
Grateful for the time home on the prairie even though it was too short, grateful I got most of the cockleburs off the dogs, and grateful for to do lists that keep me organized.
