After a not so good night’s sleep it has been a productive day. I was up and showered before 7:00 this morning so I got the rest of my mowing done by 8:30 this morning. Got the dining room and kitchen floors mopped. It had been a bit since I had cleaned them more than a lick and promise. Have a load of dishes going and a load of laundry running. Not bad for it not even being 11:00 yet.
We had a nice little thunderstorm blow through this morning. It was coming in as I was finishing mowing. The birds started acted differently and I checked the clouds and saw it coming in. It was sprinkling on my way up from putting the mower in the barn. We must have gotten 60 – 70 mph winds as the swings were a rocking and rolling during the height of the storm. For a short bit I couldn’t see the swings as it was raining so hard. Have .7 in the rain gauge and water standing in the holes in the back yard. I appreciate every drop! Got some small hail for a minute or two. Thankfully it was too small to do any damage. The skies are bright blue now and the sun has returned.
Sure feeling like it is going to be a nap day. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Not unusual for me after getting a lot of sleep the night before. Have a touch of a headache and am tired today. I’m surprised I was able to get some stuff done anyways.
Need to run into town either today or tomorrow and pick up a few groceries. The guest fruit bowl is getting low and I don’t have any more fruit on hand to put in it. With five guests in the house the fruit disappears quickly.
The Vo-Tech student that started staying with me this week has two friends that are also interested in staying here. If they decide to stay here too I will have five guests Monday through Friday every week. If they stay I will block off the weekends and not mess with weekend guests. I sure like the long-term people – it makes it much easier for me.
One of my disc golf buddies is coming back with two of his friends the weekend of the 14th of September. It is always fun to see him. He is an easy guest and fun to talk to.
Have some more housecleaning I want to get done today while I am in the mood to do so. I’ll see if the mood laststo get me through it. I also have a couple of phone calls to make if I find the energy to do so. May have hit my limit of productivity for the day.
One of my guests put a pot roast in the crock pot this morning so they could have it for dinner tonight. The smell of it is making me hungry today! I keep looking at the clock to see if it is lunch time yet. May run to town to get away from the smell.
Managed to get the pictures Nicole took loaded on to the Airbnb site. While doing so I found the file I couldn’t find of the pictures from the Camino my friends from CA had given me. I sat for a while last night and looked at those. Oh what wonderful memories it brought back.
Grateful for a productive day, grateful for more rain on the prairie, and grateful for a full house of guests.
