Two Wonderful Weather Days

We've had two days of glorious weather and today we even put on short sleeves and short pants!  It's coming to and end though, as tomorrow is supposed to be cooler and they are forecasting 100% chance of rain Thursday night and all day on Friday.  We took advantage of the lovely weather and sat outside most of both days and soaked up the warmth to tide us over the storm.

We spent yesterday afternoon going back and forth to the laundry room, but never did get a chance to wash our clothes. Last Tuesday afternoon it was dead in there so we figured it was typical.  Silly us.  We went early this morning (for us) about 9ish and there was no one there.  Got that chore out of the way for another week.

Roger has figured out how to do jigsaw puzzles while he listens to his books.  There's absolutely no room inside to spread out, so he bought a piece of fiberboard and put it on the picnic table. When he's finished, he covers everything with plastic and then the table cloth.  He then bungees the whole thing so the wind won't blow it all away.  We are trying to figure out how he can get it inside for use on Friday without disturbing the pieces.   We'll let you know how that goes.  We just may leave it out there and he'll have to entertain himself some other way.   

I made (crocheted) some Christmas garlands last year for our kids that had mittens and snowflakes.  I had made an extra set of each for us, but never put it all together.  Roger found some perfect ribbon for the garland when we went looking for puzzles, so yesterday I assembled the whole thing.  I will decorate the inside for Christmas probably Friday while we are stuck inside.  I'll post pictures.  It's going to look super.  

We took the movies back to the library today and got some more.  We picked up seven and we were afraid that was too many so we asked the librarian how many we could check out at one time. 50.  Yes, 50.  Now tell me how many people can watch 50 movies in one week (that is the length of time you can have them)?  So, our measly little seven videos didn't raise an eyebrow.  Hope we got some good ones.  This last week we had six and four were good, one was just dumb and the other not to our taste.  That's not bad odds. 

There is a beauty salon in the same shopping center as the library, so I ventured in today and made an appointment for a haircut on Monday.  It's always so scary to go to a new place.   When I got my last haircut I took pictures to show the new person in hopes it will come out similar.  I'll let you know how it goes!

So, an unexciting, but relaxing couple of days walking the dog and just enjoying being here.

  1. Hope you are enjoying the good weather days! It has been warm in Reno for this time of year and when precipitation falls, it is rain up to 8,000 feet. That will change tonight. Wind is blowing and a cold front is moving in. Supposed to be snow down to the valley floor tonight. Typical. We are headed for California tomorrow!
