Monday? We had one last week!! And today I am dead on my feet! Too much stuff, crammed into too little time, and I'm pooped. We did manage a ride on Sunday morning and it was great!
On Friday evenings, usually when I am in the shed scooping grain/feed into the color-coded buckets for my kids, I feel like I'm on the highest point of a roller-coaster, right before it plunges straight down into a swirling, careening, wild ride! And time just takes off, Sunday evening before you know it!
Right after work we mowed grass at the old house, should have taken 15 minutes, more like half hour. Raced home in the pouring rain, I started laundry, just to get a head of wifely chores. So many things to do and the weekend weather forecasted was dismal.
Back to the old house on Saturday, picked up the riding mower, then went to the grocery store. Not our usual store, one I hadn't been to since last August. One of our favorite restaurants has been closed, bulldozed, and a new grocery is in its place. You can't go home again, right?
Tom mowed grass into the dark, the place looks fantastic! Saturday night, around 10pm, the thunder with lightning started, then rain, heavy rain. I rounded everybody up and into the barn. They wanted to go, all stayed in for the night.
Sunday dawned clear and beautiful! What do those weather people know, anyway? We went for a ride in Carroll County, at Piney Run Reservoir. It was mostly an 'out and back' but there were plenty of obstacles, wet and dry crossings, boats, canoes, bikes, dogs, fishermen, and like that for challenges. Both boys were on their best behavior!
We got back, unloaded, then headed out to the Big Orange Box, had keys made there, too. Filled the truck up with the few things still in the house, pulling the carpeting up, too. Naturally, it had to rain on the carpet. Some of it we did want to keep.
By the time we got back it was dry and the sunset was like Hawaii, again. This place is gorgeous!
