it was early Wednesday morning and I was working on a newsletter job I have when the doorbell rang…

so excited to discover it was the hammock chair I had ordered…

I went out to the shed and dug around for the hammock stand that I already have…

with a bit of a struggle I got it together, managed to add the umbrella, and then hooked on the chair…

my neighbour found a big plastic bag for me that I will use when it is going to rain… it doesn’t say it can’t get wet, but I think it will last longer if it doesn’t get rained on…

I did sit in it for a few minutes, but will feel better when the screws (which I found in the garage) are into the bottom legs, lol…

the weather has really gotten fall-ish…

this afternoon my grandson arrived to finish a few jobs around the yard, including putting away the lawn furniture and then he and his friend replaced the sidewalk stones along the front flowerbed… they had sunk way down into the grass over the years….

this is going to make walking from the driveway to the house much more stable and it will also be way easier to shovel once the snow arrives…

today I was particularly missing my beloved…

as I still had to plant the last few alyssum and couldn’t find a container I liked, I decided to brave the shed and choose something from in there… it is a mess and needs someone to clean and tidy it up and that would have been something he would have done, likely tossing things I thought we should keep and keeping things I thought were junk, lol…

anyway, I moved the recycling bin and opened the door… it seemed to catch on the Virginia creeper, which needs to be trimmed, and I was waving the vines away from my head when I heard lots of buzzing… and as I looked up I spotted many wasps flying around my head… I stepped back and saw a softball sized nest on the inside of the door…

lucky for me, I wasn’t stung… yikes…

my beloved would have sorted that nest out no problem… I found spray in the house, consulted with my son-in-law on the best time to use it, but can’t yet as it is too windy… guess that door is going to stay open until tomorrow, lol…

I moved away and found a container in the garage and finished the last bit of planting…

for my lunch I had leftover pork and beans and because it was so hot, ate them cold… he often ate them that way… the other way he liked them was warmed up with a fried egg on top, euuuwwww…

funny what you remember;-)…
