Quiet Days

Far Guy woodcarved for a bit on Saturday morning.  He felt pretty good in the morning but the afternoon was a struggle for him. 

 Far Guy cleaned the bathtub and he scrubbed the bathroom floor for me, I could manage the rest of the clean up in the bathroom.

I did some laundry and had a nap.  

Supper was BLT's and corn on the cob.  

It was a smoky day with very unhealthy conditions out there. So we stayed inside.  Sure hope it rains on the wildfires soon.

The Grey Headed Coneflower or Ratibida pinnata is in bloom in the wildgardens.  I see them swaying in the breeze out the window. 

Minnesota weather:  High was 76F or 25C low was 58F or 15C eh!

  2. Too bad about the smoke as your temperatures are wonderful. It's been nice here this week but then we'll be back in the 90's...ugh. Maybe the cleaning exhausted Far Guy....I know it does me. Take it easy.

  3. Every relatively good moment that Far Guy has is a gift to be treasured. I am thinking of you two often.

  4. Thankfully the smoke was much less here yesterday. Friday it was awful. Hope it clears up for your area soon so you can enjoy your surroundings more.

  6. I sure hope you get some rain. AND the wind blows the smoke out of there. A step outside is good if you can breathe the air

  8. So glad FarGuy is having better days...even if it is part of a day. That's great! Still praying for continual shrinkage. Supposed to see smoke lessen by Monday it says, not who knows. Rain would help. :)

  9. I fixed blt’s for sisters one night. Bet yours were better than mine. Poor FG. He got a lot done even though he wasn’t at his best.

  10. It's so good to hear FG is woodcarving again, Connie. Mornings are the best time of day for me too. I always say whatever I don't get done by 1pm doesn't get done until the next day. Love, Andrea xoxo

  13. I too hope that smoke clears up soon. It's hard to do anything much when the air quality is bad. Good news that FG felt good enough to do all that!

  14. I hope there is enough rain to let them get control of these fires.

  16. My Yellow Coneflowers are also blooming in my wild bfly garden! The smoke is no fun. It's been a Summer of mostly crap weather/air here too. The air must be horrific in Canada.

  17. I rarely see the coneflowers. They are so pretty. I hope it rains aplenty!

  18. Sadly, I suspect the fires will continue for some time yet. Perhaps into September. It certainly puts a damper on summer.

  19. That coneflower is unusual. Very different.

  20. I pulled up a map of Wildfires and it is surprising how many there are even in the US. Yikes. I would love to have a summer without smoke in the air.
    Well, at least we will have winter??? LOL.
    Those cone flowers are gorgeous.

  21. LD....The coneflowers are wonderful. I wish I could eat corn on the cob. I will just stick with my green beans or peas.

  22. This smoke sure is getting tiring.
