Friday Was a Work Day!

After sleeping late this morning we finally got ourselves into gear and accomplished a few things. Hub's goal for the day was to get the railroad ties placed for the garden expansion and to replace the blades on the zero turn mower. He didn't really get started on the mower. Oh, I forgot he went to the store also to get a propane bottle for the new griddle we got. Tomorrow he will be the breakfast chef. I'm ordering pancakes. He wanted to eat them for dinner tonight but I talked him into a sandwich since we were both tired. After the railroad ties were placed I got the tiller cranked and going and started tilling up the soil. I worked on it for about an hour and then came on inside. My back was feeling it and it was just starting to feel better after getting the railroad ties out to the garden. Those things are heavy. It's a good thing the mower can pull them! So that is how my day went. It was pretty busy. I'll be back at it again tomorrow. How was your Friday? Photo Credit: Pixabay © 2020 Karen Gros

We have been stalled since Friday with daily long thunderstorms so anxious to get back out there. Hub had an eye dr. apt. this morning so will have to wait for him to get home which will be after lunch. Rain is supposed to hit at noon so we will see.

@wolfgirl569 I think my back needed the rest also. Going to try again tomorrow to finish the tilling and then it's a big green light! The thunderstorm blew over us today. Thought the lights were going to go out again with all the flickering.

@kareng Wishing you luck. We got most of it in and then a storm built up.

I'm not surprised your back was sore. You were very busy. My Friday was good.

Yep and I'm pacing myself to not get the old back out of commission right now. The daily thunderstorms are also helping with that!

The daily long thunderstorms are now hindering my efforts. My mornings are busy with getting mom settled, food, medicine and routine chores and then the rain hits and I'm out of commission for the day. I hope the intensity of these storms lighten up. We have had some bad lighting strikes lately.

@LindaOHio Ours blew over today...yay! I hope tomorrow is sunny. Weather is calling for partly cloudy but as long as no rain I should be able to finish the garden addition.

Definitely a busy day for you there. I too had a busy Friday and then I winded up the day with some good movie and went late to bed.

That makes for a more relaxed day the following day, doesn't it?

@kareng Yes. Relaxing a bit after a busy day helps us rejuvenate and get ready for a more busy day next day.

Now we are having those eventful thunderstorms every day with some heavy duty rain. They need to settle down to light to moderate rain and skip a few days here and there. I'm way behind in making progress.

@moffittjc Ours blew over today! Yay! I still didn't get much done outside though. Looks like more rain tonight. We will see. This is a bigger system and very active so hope it misses us too!

@kareng It looks like it’s starting our daily thunderstorms this week here in Florida. Which of course is to be expected since I was planning on kayaking and tubing every day this week.

@amitkokiladitya I was pooped! It was okay except for waking up with a stiff back. I had to back off some of the activity and give my back a rest.

The daily thunderstorms have arrived here. They are lasting too long; for hours instead of just up to an hour. It makes for wasted time that I could be working outside.

Oh goodness! We had another day today..all day in the yard. But the yardwork is almost done. I still have some sticks to pick up, burning is behind because of all the rain. Garden got another round of tilling and hoping hubby can pick up soil Sunday afternoon or maybe tomorrow and we can get on with planting soon!

It's taking him a bit to get used to the new griddle, but worth it in the end. The dogs got the first round of pancakes. LOL.
