Monday 20th –
I awoke to the sounds of mom mixing homemade bread πππ»π
The problem when Mom makes bread, is that no one wants anything BUT the bread but hunger always comes before the breads ready so it’s a game of either eating something you don’t want or waiting out the hunger for the fresh, warm bread smothered in butter π
Once the butter horns and loaves were done baking we all devoured a few pieces of the buttered morsels π
I then went out to mow the grass.
A task Pro and I never minded doing and a task dad never felt like having to do after work so it’s good that we are here peek lawn mowing timeππΎ
The mower wouldn’t start so dad was called and instructions given.
It was my job to sit on the mower and turn the key and Pro’s job to disconnect the booster cables and close the hood π
Since we know nothing of such things it did feel slightly like she could get electrified and that brought some freaky humour to the situationπ
I went inside to get some water and Mom and Pro were exercising so I joined in for the end bit.
Then ate two more butter horns to keep my energy up for mowing π
But the mower stopped working and since we aren’t capable of lawn machine repair further then cable unhooking, that was the end of my lawn carrier for the day.
Mom went to town for groceries and errands and Pro and I stayed at the house with Al and Bryn.
Just a sink full of photogenic veggies and fruits ππ
ππΆ
Supper was in our charge and Alaina asked us if we could be doing that alone? π
I made some fried chicken with a lemon soya sauce and rice and Pro got some asparagus and carrots ready to accompany.
Tuesday 21st –
Mom had to work, so it was us four girls alone at the house.
Dad had fixed the lawn mower the night before so I had lawns to finish cutting and Pro had the work truck to clean out so it would be useable while we are all out here.
Once grass was done I pitched in with the rest of the truck washing and then we started the set up of the redneck pool π
Otherwise known as a tarp, filled with water, in a truck box πππ»
While that filled, we played some badminton and did some odds and ends.
That was all done before 11:00 am… I am not used to feeling so accomplished so early in the dayπ
Bryn went for a nap so we went jogging and then did weights on the deck… Loving summer weatherπβοΈππ»πΎ
While we were doing that Pro spotted some wild strawberries growing on the lawn ππ
We went back to pick them with Al and how such little bitty berries can hold so much wonderful tastiness is beyond me, but they are worth the piddly picking process π
Mom and Dad got back from work and went for a jog pre-supper, which was pot pie from the freezer.
