Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Yawn... oh, good grief, why are you up so early?
My sister has to help in Sunday School, so we have to leave by 8:45. That only gives me another twenty minutes... and I get to sit through really boring Sunday School lectures. Ugh. I'm so tired... I went to bed at midnight but couldn't sleep.
Yup.... 5:15.... I was really up at 4:30!
We had strong thundershowers last night so we put the ponies in the barn to dry off in peace. They were inside needing out early this morning. Bay needed to pee.
I went to sleep so early last night, I feel like staying up. ecurbh is still alseep.
Oh - and we are getting married on June 19th! :~D
Yesterday we had the cemetery cleanup day. Spent time weed-wacking and raking, and then had a little lunch. Got to see some of the last people alive who remember my grandparents.
Then we practiced the timing of walking down from the house to the dock to the music. Our wedding march music will be "Concerning Hobbits" ;~D
Morning All - Got the tomatoes planted, the most sun is on the brick patio (go figure) so we're trying growing them in pots. Some Romas and Tomallito.
Got some new plants including monkshood (name of a Cadefal novel, I believe) aka Wolfbane.
Pretty quite in our 'shire', warm, breezy, hmm. Spring?
Kind of green and grey and damp here today after all that rain. My friend Lisa is coming over later with her new collie puppy. ecurbh is still asleep.
~snicker~
Yes, as a matter of fact, we are ;~D. If I can give it to him that is... I've possessed it a long time now.
'Morning!
It's not as breezy as yesterday....maybe I'll get to dust the plants today.
Miss Cat is shedding fur on my flylady-ed place this morning. *Sigh*
I'll let you know if he begins to feel like butter scraped over too much bread.
I'll have to bring the Phial of Galadriel for protection against the Ring while I'm there.
'Course I don't have a Phial of Galadriel so I'll have to use the Photon Light....the next best thing. :)
Very good.... during the ceremony if you begin to hear ominous music, or if I hold up the ring and say "‘But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!’ - You'll know what to do.
Hehehe...at the part where they ask if there's any reason why you shouldn't get married, I'll hold up my Photon Light.
Thanks, that ought to pull us through ;~D
And quiet any wraiths or gollums who may spring up at that point... ;~D
...and scare away any spiders...so the arachnaphobic among us won't freak during the ceremony. :)
That is very special! I'm glad you still have those people around. :-)
I have been very fortunate in knowing grandparents. I actually had all 4 of my great-grandmothers and one of my great-grandfathers around long enough that I remember them. Being here in the home county I still get to be with people who remember them too. Aunt Cheryl and I rode around on Friday to see what some of the old home places look like now. Since those were her grandparents she told stories again of things she remembered about them. Very special it is to have people to hear those from. :-)
I forgot my camera that day we were out riding. I kept wishing I had it with me so I could post some photos... but, I didn't. Another time maybe.
Well, the family is all here for lunch now. Check back in a bit.
Afternoon all. Back from church. Trying to convince myself that yes, yes I do need to get back to work in the yard. Still gotta divide them 4 O'clocks.
I'd rather nap until about 4 o'clock.
WN - I'll post some real pictures next week. Wife has the digital camera at the reunion. She's learnin' to use it so she can take it to Slovakia next month.
