Month: October 2017

Ron and I went to an open house at the Cotuit Historical Society last evening: nice!

We bought a pumpkin there and left it at Edgewater on the way home.

Ron mowed the lawn yesterday.

I plowed through some stuff for Mark and also for Jim (and Olivier) today.

Ron cut down a Russian olive that’s been bothering him for years because the branches almost touched the roof.

FINALLY set up the speakers and the one lamp in the bedroom so that a) I can listen to music that isn’t on Sonos and b) we can switch the lamp on/off from the wall switch.

Indian-style stir fry and brown rice for supper.

Got a sincere, personal thank you from Brandy and Alex today.  One of the nicest ever received and the only one from the 3 young couples we’ve gifted this past 12 months.  Classy.

The Sandwich Porch Fest was rained out, sadly, so we did the transfer station run and finished other chores around 4.  Picked up a 2-fer at Pizza Prima for lunch/supper.

It being early and the last day of Job Lot’s 40% off everything under $10 anniversary sale, I did some shopping: covers for the new deck chairs, unsalted nuts, crackers, cookies, trash bags, bandaids, dishwasher detergent, sponges and about 100 tulip bulbs, which ended up being even cheaper than online.

 

 

 

Poor Ron started to build a loft in the shed.  He pulled out only about 2/3 of the contents; I am horrified by the amount of stuff I’ve accumulated over 15 years.  Must get rid of at least half of it, if not more.

Had breakfast this morning with Cathy and Cindy, then did a half hour standout at Falmouth Green.

Instead of going to see a Modern House in Wellfleet, I worked on my project for LaMotte and solved a ridiculous JSON problem.

I did some weeding in the front while Ron worked on the shed.

Leftover vegetable quiche and salad for supper.

After I fed us and cleaned up the kitchen, Ron pitched a fit when I asked him to interrupt his stupid TV watching long enough to move two pictures.  About 30 seconds of work.

Tough S*t.

Visited the Mashpee Oktoberfest, very well attended this year, perfect day.  Picked up a quart of Vermont maple syrup and some cookies there, then more carbs at the Farmers Market.  Radishes later at the Pariah Dog Farm stand after a standout on Falmouth Green.

Ron did the laundry, we changed the sheets and did the transfer station run.  I did a little yard work, including sawing off the dogwood’s side limbs.

Baked some stuffed delicata squash, not quite long enough; Ron made salad for supper.

Scenes from yesterday’s Master Gardeners’ Fall gardening forum “Autumn Joy” and Reg and Terry Soares’ workshop Pruning & Perennial Bed Tips.
