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?

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.

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.

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

@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.

Friday? When was Friday? Being retired every day is Saturday!
How was my Friday? The same as every day--grateful to have been awake and alive to enjoy what ever the day brings bad or good!

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!
