Thursday passed gently. As my arm heals, it is hurting a lot, and it slows me down. However, work called. I had watering to do. Rain was predicted for last night, but I had no faith in the forecast, so watering was my one job for the day. But before the doing of chores, I walked Her Highness, took her home, and then I went into the village to meet Stacy for breakfast.
Her daughter married at her place on Saturday, and the entire south end of the island where she and her sister have homes, was plunged into a power failure by a huge fallen tree. Neighbours arrived with generators and the day was very, very successfully saved.
When I got home, I did the watering and soon thereafter it was lunch time. We ate and then I read for a while, napped and then took H.H. for our afternoon walk. Late in the afternoon, Pete dropped by for a short visit as mist gently descended.
The evening was the usual, and there was no sign of rain. However, this morning, it is wet, wet, wet outside. I checked the water barrels in which I collect rainfall, only to realize that although it was wet there had not been very much rainfall through the night at all. However, there is no sunshine in the forecast for the coming week.
There may be rain today. It seems possible as I look outside. It’s windy and dark. I may have an easy week with lots of reading if the forecast holds. Temperatures are going to be mild but far from hot. What a break for me and my garden!
I shall visit the dentist this morning and then I’ll be baking a cake for my dinner here tomorrow night with some of my women friends from our dog walking group.
