Monday, changing blog times

 I have decided to go back to blogging in the morning for now.  Reasons, my sister hated the evening blogging as it threw her off. (not really why I am going back to morning but it will make her happy) Also I found out that I was spending the time I had allotted to blogging in the morning just wasting time on my phone. Like sitting in my pj's drinking diet coke and doing nothing.  I really was not getting into the shop any faster.  I also found that  this last week I have been so tired I was having a hard time blogging at night as all I wanted to do  was fall asleep.  I was not getting things done financially like I needed to, as I get all my book work done while I blog, either before or after. Being tired I would put it off.  Not good for a habitual late person.  Then I noticed that I really like to make lists of chores to strike off during the day and that was not happening. The offset is that my readership went up and the addsense was paying better.

Not that I blog for money but it is nice.  So I am going back to mornings and we will see. Please let me know if you prefer the other way.  Again not that it will make a big difference, I just thought I would ask the reason.

Saturday was a bust as it was windy and rainy and cold.  SO I did spend time sewing on more dresses.  Of course Sunday was beautiful and we were able to go to church which was nice.  It was our week for the month.  It was also our 42 wedding anniversary, I thought we had been married 43 years but I was corrected.  We stopped by Lil sis's house on the way home from church and found her in tears, which is unusual as none of us girls are criers. She had purchased a lawn mower with no help from a big box store and it would not stay started.  Her lawn was so long, she needed a billy goat.  She had been fighting with the mower for two days,  She also realized that her yard was much bigger than she thought.  Her only concern when buying the house was that it had enough room in the back to put in a pool. Her yard at the parsonage that she rented for the last 5 years had a yardman.

So I told her we needed to take the mower back and get a different kind and a salesman that knew mowers needed to be consulted.  We went home and changed into work clothes and then Hubs loaded our mower and we went back. Hubs mowed her lawn which is quite large while we returned the mower and went to ACE hardware that had a good sale on mowers and were helped immediately by a salesman who could recommend the type she would need.  It was even assembled and she got lessons on its use. This is not something I would normally do on the Sabbath let alone my anniversary, but I can't stand to see my sister upset.  Then I stayed and helped her get some of her yard things unpacked and rearrange a few things.  She was considerably happier with her new mower choice.

Hubs and I then went up to our daughters place in the evening.  I took up a pot of homemade navy bean soup and bread for dinner and we had ice cream sundaes and watched Kelsa smash red jello into every crevice of her body and highchair.  She did a thorough job. I have been so tired the last couple of nights I just could not blog so I really started to contemplate the change back to mornings.

The chicken run is done except for handles, chickens are happy. It is sunny here but still a little chili.  I had to cover the seedlings in the portable green house last night. 

We had such a nice time  last Friday taking dinner into friends.  It was quite expensive and restaurant  prices have certainly gone up.  But when we got there she had a nice table set so we could take our food out of boxes and put in on plates to eat. Who wants to eat a $25.00 plus meal out of a styrofoam box? Not I.  We had such a nice visit and they were so grateful.  We have to do this again sometime.
