7:00 am and we are in the garden but most of the time with flowers and other “gardening tasks”. Mary trimmed her roses ane I cleaned out the mosquito trap which is easy. Take the trap to the garage and on the driveway I used the air compressor and sent the dead bugs on a 50 foot flight through the air! Poof!
Mary was still trimming and I looked at our 5×5 wooden gate and decided I was going to replace it with white vinyl. That way the rain will not bother it and it will be lighter.
At 11:00 am, we decided to embrace our inner synchronized swimmers and gracefully flop into the pool like a couple of confused mermaids.
Scout provided adult supervision during this period and he kept an eye out for those pesky elephants!
“Hey…. Keep the noise down, huh?”
One last pass through the garden revealed blackberries were ready! I picked a large land full and suggested this be dessert for lunch!
Warm from the sun!
While the gate people are here, we are going to get an estimate for putting up a patio on the front of the house, behind the wall, so we can enjoy watching the neighbors go back and forth. Plus, we’ll have front row seats for the neighborhood drama – it’s like our own reality show!
Mary fixed a bodacious lunch which was entirely too healthy! We fixed that because we had razzleberry pie for dessert!
Watermelon, grapes, and berries, along with a salad from the garden (except for the hard cheese and artichoke hearts)
At 2:30 pm we hit the pool again (second time today) and floated and talked for a 1/2 hour.
A little later Doctor Mary removed the sushers and running stitches from my hand, it was been two weeks. She used Steri-Strips on the wound and demanded that I lay on the couch and each bon bons every hour until 5:00 pm when we headed to the Segerstrom to see Peter Pan. (I thought Peter Pan was a bedpan for boys!)
Before the play, we went to our favorite Indian restaurant called The Royal Khyber in Costa Mesa. I have been going there for 35 years!
