Seems Monday mornings come around faster and faster these days. RL was our only grand today as, Connie, IR and CA's other g-ma came up to stay with them today. Daughter came over to d-in-love's house to teach and stay with g-son while he did his school work. I got chores done on a cloudy cooler morning and then had breakfast with RL, She is really hungry this morning which is a good sign for a good day but she is sad because she doesn't have IR here to play with. We loaded up and drove to Asheville to the Home Depot over there that has the gate opener in stock that we have decided on. This store was huge and they pretty much had anything you want and everyone we met had a mask on which was very comforting. RL is really good about wearing her mask and keeping her hands to herself as she understands that touching things could make her sick.
We found all the things we needed for the gate opener except some remotes which I ordered online. We also shopped around for light bulbs and some other things that we needed. When we headed home we took the Parkway and RL saw a deer standing on the side of the road so she was tickled. We came home and had lunch of yesterdays left overs and RL once again ate very well. I got weekly laundry started and did three loads of laundry in between playing with RL and canning this sink full of tomatoes.
I finished up with 7 more quarts to add to the winter pantry.
I only have 5 more ids left if the order we put in trough Target doesn't rescue me I guess this will be all the tomatoes that get canned this year. I do have the 2 cases of jelly jars I am saving for jelly but that is all. We have our fingers crossed for the lids we ordered from Target so hopefully they show up this week. Our tomato vines are looking pretty pitiful with all this rain but something tells me I shouldn't let anything go to waste this year !! I can freeze tomatoes thankfully to make sauce or something later. Daughter has 2 packs of lids left and is coming tomorrow to make her a run of salsa from the mostly Roma tomatoes we have gathered.
D-in-love picked up RL and after they left hubbie and I decided to get chores done early to try and beat the rain that is headed our way.
We just finished when a light rain started falling . We took umbrellas and walked down to #1 son's house to help with the fence he is building beside our gate spot.
This should definitely solve out wayward travelers problem.
We came back home still with a light rain falling and hubbie went down and brought a battery back to charge and took son another post.
I finished getting the last load of laundry out of the dryer and then relaxed for the evening.
The first of the storms made landfall tonight at 6pm as Marco was a weakened tropical storm that came ashore around the mouth of the Mississippi River and is headed west hopefully pulling this rain away from us as he goes.
The major threat is to come later this week as hurricane Laura makes her way into the gulf and heads for the same area but turns east and comes up over our area at the end of the week.
This will not be a good thing is she brings a lot of rain to our already saturated ground around here.
Thankful for the blessings of this day and for a loving gracious Savior.
God Bless and Good Night
