Peter is working today and I am laboring around the house.
Yesterday, though, I took the day off. I suggested to Ron that we not make the bed or cook but instead go for a joyride to see the Harriman reservoir in Vermont.
It was a pretty trip but Google Maps led us to a chained off dirt road so we never got to see the reservoir. Ron is having trouble with his right leg so walking, even a short distance (2/10 of a mile) was not an option.
We did come upon a Serenity Garden in Whitingham that has the biggest, most beautiful butterfly bush I’ve ever seen.
I finally figured out how to use the sound bar with the TV: what a difference! We indulged in several jazz videos.
The boys came over looking for a laser pointer and had fun making Pustefix bubbles.
This morning I moved things around the bar in the sunroom and brought the guest bed platform upstairs. It is in two parts and folds for storage!
I installed the liner and one of the bags of soil in the smaller elevated bed.
Picked a bouquet for us.
Made a vegetable tort of summer squash, peppers, tomatoes with basil, garlic and the mushroom/onion umami seasoning; a salad; and biscuits for supper. The mandoline saved time.
Ron bought wine and did a gigantic laundry.
