There were rain showers yesterday afternoon, and it was very cloudy again. But in the night it cleared off and the stars were just amazingly brilliant. The rain must be clearing the air. Waking up this morning, it was all clouded over again though, and stayed mostly cloudy all day.
We left about 9 a.m. to go pick up our bouquet of flowers for Joe's brother Jim's grave and then drove up to the Pinedale Cemetery where Joe put the bouquet on his grave. There were several families with literally cars full of flowers. Some had come from other states. We were early for the services that were held there for the veterans, but saw all the graves decorated with many flowers and flags placed on all the veterans graves. When we went by again there were lots of cars parked and a good crowd of people there. Joe has always wanted to go to Green River on memorial day where the rest of his family is buried, but we've been having Susan the flower shop lady put boquets on their graves for us since I got sick. He doesn't want to sit in the car that long any more either.
Then we went up to the house and got a good sized carload of more stuff to take out to the ranch. Brought back the majority of my art supplies, some more clothes and other miscellaneous things. Joe got the big surge protector for the TV. We went to Ridley's next for groceries, ..... filthy place BTW and always be sure to check your receipt for "mistakes". Joe pushed the basket for me. He's vaguely interested in learning how to grocery shop and find things in the aisles. The price of vegetables surprised him, and we talked about cost of some of the other items too.
It's so hard to decide which mediocre restaurant to eat in any more, so we went to the little drive in and got hamburgers and fries with milkshakes. Got a corn dog for the boys to share plus they managed to get plenty of french fries. Well between the two of us that led to one of the milk shakes getting tipped and partially spilled. On home after that, car unloaded, groceries put away and items from the other house mostly put away too. Then I cleaned out the front seat of the car. Didn't want Bonnie to know we'd made such a mess of her beautiful car cleaning job. The milk shake had gone mainly into the cup holder fortunately, so I yanked that out and cleaned it. That's the first time I really knew it would come out, and there's a nice little hidey hole under it.
This morning it was nice to see the rivers and streams brim full and water racing downstream. The llamas were playing and there was a pretty moose laying close to Pine Creek just out of town. Things are greening up, and the cottonwoods are more leafed out than not. We're having another afternoon rain shower. I'm going to make a meat loaf dinner tonight. Went to bed after getting the kitchen cleaned up. Finished my book and got out Mark Twain. The other day I ordered some Peter Mathieson books and they should be coming soon. He usually writes wonderful prose.
One of my Favorite Things.
