Good Monday morning to everyone. We had quite the thunderstorm last night, but no rain. I'm sure someone to the south of us must have got dumped on BIG time by the looks of the sky.
Today will be a busy day here on the homestead. First I've got to wash clothes and hang them out to dry. I've got a load in the washer right now.
I need to mow the lawn, once the grass isn't so wet from all the dew! It usually takes me 1 1/2 hrs. to get it all finished. With the rain we've been having though, its growing so fast.
I brought in my first rose yesterday. The smell filled the house. Today, I have a couple more ready to bring in. I also need to trim the roses. They are just loaded with buds though. It must be a great year for them, because they are stunning.
I need to also do some plastering in dd's room. We think we found the area the beetles are getting in, so it has got to be plugged. We need to tape and get the gyproc plastering finished, but we were waiting until the m/bedroom and living room were done and then we'd do it all together. Guess we can't wait, so I'll do a few places in her room just to stop the bugs!! Living in the country really has made a difference to the bugs we have and how easy it is for them to get in an old brick house.
Once that is finished, I need to cut some sashing for dd's quilt. She is finished the top, so now needs to get a border and her sashing put on. Once that is done, I need to quilt it for her. She wants to get started on another one, but I won't let her until she has completed the top of this one.
So the buzz on this homestead is that I'm going to be busy today!!
