I invited Cathy over on Saturday evening to watch the movie, “Moving On” with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlinson. It was a good story and fun to have someone to share the laughs with.
Camille called me earlier in the day to see if I wanted to hang out. Since I already had plans for that evening, Jill dropped her off on Sunday morning and we spent the afternoon together. She wanted to make a clay pinch pot. I had some clay but it was very dry and not workable, so we went to Joann Fabrics and got some new stuff. When we finished that project, we had some lunch and then took Joey for a walk and stopped at the park for a bit. I took a half-hour rest while she watched a show and then we played a few games of Farkle before Jill picked her up. It was a fun afternoon and makes me feel so good when they want to hang out with me.
The perennial garden here at Penelope is starting to awaken, so I organized a meeting with interested residents to get some input on what everyone’s expectations are and their willingness to help with maintenance. I kind of feel that the job would be more manageable if we work together rather than several people doing their own thing. I put up a notice but have had to change the date several times, so we shall see how many actually show up on Friday.
Yesterday, Deb and I made two trips to the Bloomington Maintenance Yard and filled five bags of wood chips on each trip. We distributed them on the muddy ground behind and next to the maintenance shed on our property. The area is mainly used by smokers but it is also the access to the resident’s garden shed and an extension of the perennial gardens. It looks so much better than it did.
Today was bath and haircut day for Joey. He is such a good boy about it and we got 90% of him done. I left the table set up and will tackle it again tomorrow for the finishing touches (legs, tummy, and feet).
