This morning was a quiet morning at home. I got caught up on my own personal laundry and did some house cleaning chores. I got more sleep than I have been getting last night. May need to take a nap this afternoon as I am struggling to keep my eyes open. The more sleep I get – the more I want.
Took a friend to her doctor’s appointment in Emporia this afternoon. It was fun to spend a bit of time with her on the trip into town and back again. Her doctor was running on time and her appointment didn’t take very long. Feels good to have been in service this afternoon.
In the mid 90’s again today – trusting this will be the last blast of summer heat for the year. I don’t like winter but I am ready for some cooler temperatures. There is a cold front coming in on Friday that is going to hang around for a bit. I welcome it. I am ready for long-sleeve shirt and hoodies weather.
Tomorrow the guy from McPherson is coming to meet me. I think I will see if he wants to go pick apples with me while we are spending time together. I want to get a box full of Jonathan apples picked so I can make apple butter. Might be something fun for us to do together instead of just sitting and talking. We can talk while we pick apples.
I will have two guests tonight. Both will be here around 7:00. I have missed my other long-term boarder as he is in NC working the hurricane storm damage and helping get the power restored in that area. Haven’t heard if and when he will be coming back. His wife will be staying this weekend with me as she is working in Topeka.
Found a house sitter for the night in September that I needed one for. I am going to KC for a class with my mentor and wanted to spend the night so I didn’t have to drive to and from KC two days in a row. A dear friend volunteered to come spend the night for me. She loves my dogs and chickens and will enjoy a quiet day on the prairie. So grateful for her loving presence in my life.
I will need to go to town tomorrow morning for some groceries again. Almost time to get more chicken feed, oats and sunflower seeds. I think I spend more on critter food than I do my own groceries these days. The chickens have not been producing very well lately. I may cut out their treats if they don’t get down to business. I don’t tolerate slackers around here.
My head is quiet and empty today. One of those days I can’t hold on to a thought long enough to remember to do something. My get up and go got up and left me behind today. I can’t seem to find the motivation to do anything today. The yard needs mowed but it is too hot to mow right now. Maybe when it cools down this evening I will get out and get part of it done and then finish it up in the morning.
My bed is calling to me – I think I will give up and go take a nap.
Grateful for my friend that will house sit for me, grateful my friend allowed me to take her to her appointment, and grateful I can take a nap whenever I choose to.
