This morning I woke up at 5 to the sound of the massive storm that came through, and I called Billy to tell him to shut the windows (he always sleeps through the storms) Grayson, had already done so. That's my boy!
I couldn't get back to sleep until about 7 and then ended up sleeping till 9. I jumped up and Granddaddy was already dressed, and told me that one of the women from the senior center was coming and he was going to spend the day with her. HMMM
So I had a cup of coffee, and told him we better do his pedicure before he left. I soaked his feet, and while they were soaking I heated the coffee. He makes cowboy coffee in a percolator on the stove. It is soooo good it tastes better than Starbucks. It is so thick and dark and rich, it's yummy.
After I did his pedicure and manicure the woman came and he went on his way.
So having the house alone, I went out to the strawberry beds and picked what I could the dry weather really got to them last year, and the frosts this year. There are simply just that many berry's. I weeded a bit while I was picking and only got a little over a quart. But boy are they good! If they last through tomorrow I will make a shortcake. YUMMHH
I toured the property and pulled weeds around the grapes that he has started and propped them up on their climbing trellis. I ended up pulling a ton of weeds along the back of the house too and they were sooooo thick, and I ended up really hurting my back.
After ward I went inside exhausted and rested for a bit.
Then I thought I would take on the house. I got the vacuum out and all of his filters where full and I washed and dried them and began the vacuuming process.
Bless his heart but he had cobwebs everywhere, but I made short work of them.
Before I knew it the phone was ringing and Billy was calling to say that Grayson was home
So I finished up and came on home.
I was completely exhausted, so I took a shower and layed down, I was so done!
