Four More Days To Go
Mr. Man never did get a chance to work on the bike this weekend, but he still insists we'll be going to Port Dover this Friday. I'm not going in a car. Forget that. He'll have a chance to work on it tomorrow.
So our new neighbours came over to our fire Friday night. Apparently their cat, their indoor cat, has been hiding in our garage for several days. I thought I saw eyes in there one day, but just thought "give your head a shake". Whenever I hear scurrying noises in there I assume its chipmunks, voles or mice. Poor thing. Good luck catching it in there too. That garage is packed to the rafters. If they do try, I hope no one gets hurt. So, they seem like very nice folks and a far cry from the freaks who lived there before, thankfully. They have 2 little kids and a cat, no dogs. All those dogs and kids were just visiting.
I'm still tuckered out from the party on Saturday. I'm so glad I planned it for Saturday rather than the usual Sunday. Sunday was nothing but muggy rain. Hopefully it will have helped the grass though. I think it looks a little better already. I had made punch, for the novelty, and because I bought that damn punch bowl and am determined to actually use it. Everyone tried some but I don't think it went over too well. They preferred the pop. We barbecued jumbo hot dogs, and had a couple of store bought salads, because we're lazy like that. I baked a cake and they ate the whole thing. There was chips and pretzels and candy. Soon after the lighting of the bonfire we gave them all glow sticks. Shortly after that they all ran out to the street for a game of Manhunt (Hide and Seek) and when they came back only half of them still had glow sticks. The boys, being boys, broke them open and spewed the glow goo all over everyone. Like I say, a good time was had by all.
Did I mention I saw a chipmunk in my backyard the other day? That was a first. I know they had one hanging out nextdoor a couple of years ago, but I've never seen any here. He was near a pile of wood trim and that would explain why the dogs are always over there sniffing around and digging a trench under the wood pile.
Well, that's about it for this morning. All this talk about my backyard and my gardens are calling my name. Have a lovely day!
