What notable things happened today? Nothing much happens around here and things are usually on an even keel and that is a good thing. I don’t like changes and neither do I like anything unforeseen creeping into the picture.
It was a nice day. A friend came over to help in the garden because the weeds are enjoying their freedom after all the rain we’ve had and their freedom needs to be curbed! So this friend came over dressed in his grubby clothes ready to tackle the stuff that I hate doing. I love the garden but I don’t like doing the work!
He did the mowing, the weeding, trimming of the rose bushes and taking down the big and old barbeque pit. It needed to go. We had lunch at a nice Chinese place, picked up some stuff at the garden center and it was back for more of the same. I decided that the lounger would be nicer out back. It was under the terrace area but now we’ve moved it to the other side of the garden. It is shady there and it is a quiet spot to let my mind wander right under the big old magnolia tree and an old pine tree. A perfect spot to rest and relax so he moved it without complaining!
Later, we had a cup of coffee and CHEESECAKE and after a short conversation, it was time for him to go. He promised to come back and cart away the stones from the pit at another time! Sometimes it’s good to have friends who are willing to do the work without complaining!
If there was anything notable, it would be the fact that he did the work without wanting anything in return. It was always a song and dance about the same stuff and that he only gets a kiss on the cheek and a hug and nothing more. Today, there was none of that. He was actually very nice and we had a few laughs and there was no stress. Other than that, it was for all purposes a day like any other and that folks is a NOTABLE day in my opinion.
