Petunias in Bucket, After Afternoon Rain

It's another really lovely morning. I'm a little tired from yesterday's outing. After fixing breakfast got started doing the laundry and will dust mop and get the guest rooms ready for the family to arrive Saturday. Gathering up my painting supplies to get packed into the car for tomorrow. We all tend to take too much stuff, way more than we could ever use in two or three days. Just hope I remember the really necessary things. My contribution to the meals is to bring fruit so I'll have plenty of that from what Sheral and Dick brought us. I'll also make the butter bean avocado salad that is so good to take along, since I have the ingredients for that, and some of the corn on the cob. I have to leave here by 7 a.m. in order to meet the car pool at Kay's by 8, and then we'll go out to Round Hill together. I go over in the Wyoming Range so seldom that I'm never quite sure I'm taking the right road to get in there. It's pretty isolated.

Debbie is supposed to call- she called yesterday when I was gone - but when I tried to make a couple of phone calls this morning the phone was dead again most of the day. About 3:30 it rang and it was Sheral offering to shop for me again in Pinedale. She is so thoughtful. I told her I could not put another thing into the fridge.

No sooner hung up from that and Gig called and said he and Janet and their dogs would be here in the morning to stay a few days. So I told him I'd be gone for the next two days and by Saturday the house would be full but we'd love to see them, to be sure and stop by. They are going up to the Openings for a couple of days. For months on end we've been sitting here with nothing happening, then everything happens at once.

Next I called Sandy at the phone company to make sure they knew our phone had been out, they did. Their men had been working up on Mt. Airy where the towers are. Everyone with radio phones were out. Tried to call Debbie but had to leave a message there.

I've watered the flower pots good. Breezy and clouds in the afternoon. Joe mowed the front yard this afternoon. I wish I had time to go around the house at least with the weed eater, but I don't.
