Yesterday was sunny with a high of 24C (humidex 26C). This morning it is foggy and 11C. Today is supposed to be sunny with a high of 24C.
Lifestyle
I was into the city with daughter-in-law. We did an Asian food store first. I drag the rolly cart behind while we look at everything they have to offer. Daughter-in-law was buying a few things for a few meals she wants to make. I bought nothing.
Our next stop was to Giant Tiger to look at what they had. We wandered around and neither one of us bought anything. I wish I could have bought the popcicles I like as they were on sale for 3.99 vs the 7.99 at the grocery store.
Our last stop was Costco. That was the fun shopping experience of the day. It was busy as it was Friday, pay day, and the start of a long weekend. I was looking at the Apple phones as I needed a new one. Very pricy but on my list to buy. I went to a booth but you have to buy a plan for their phones. As we wandered along we noticed unusual items on the wall. They weren't with their counterparts. One was 2 iPhones. The black case was more expensive than the green case phone. The green case had more storage and memory. When daughter-in-law checked the Apple Store (online) this phone was 500.00 cheaper than the listed price. I bought one. Who cares if the case is green. It will last me for several years.
Lunch yesterday is what we call the Kirkland Special. Hot dog and a pop at Costco. Daughter-in-law and I do this a couple of times a year to satisfy our hot dog craving.
Once home, I found out my neighbour had listed the dirt and plants in the vegetable boxes. We didn't know what the response would be though 2 people wanted the boxes. I visited with my friend for a bit before she had to go out. Once home, I set up my new phone and while I was figuring it out, I was told a young lady was coming to get the flowers. I helped her bag them up and she literally filled her car with bags of flowers and 2 small containers of dirt. I was happy. A couple came later on and got a tub of dirt. This morning, the rest of the dirt is supposed to picked up and the boxes should be gone by tonight. Hurrah.
I did get the phone set up pairing with my old phone. I did struggle with how to open it and got that figured out. I learned how to open and close the apps and how to swipe the apps shut. That took me the better part of the evening to learn. But I can work my new phone.
Sewing
I did no sewing yesterday as I was out.
Knitting
I didn't knit but I did sew the buttons on the doll's coat I finished quite a while ago.
Thoughts
I have decided not to make the bags I had thought about. It is mainly the cost and not having an outlet to sell them in which has a lot of tourist traffic. Our area is not a busy tourist spot due to its location at the beginning of the Annapolis Valley. I have decided that I will make one of a kind bag that can be put into silent auctions or for someone who wishes to have a unique bag.
As the days go on, I see more information on how we have reached drought conditions in most of Nova Scotia. That is scary. We need several days of rain at this time to raise water levels in lakes and wells. Vegetation is turning brown from the lack of water. Even the leaves on the trees are turning yellow which is a sign of stress. There is no rain in the forecast for the next 7 days.
Today
I have to make a potato salad this morning and then clean up the kitchen. I may sew this afternoon though I should try to nap. I do have the guy coming to do roof repairs and someone coming to get the dirt. I am out working a bar tonight so will be home late.
Until the next time...............................................
