Suitcases unpacked, Herb doing laundry, me, alternately putting stuff away and wandering outside to see what might be poking through the ground...It is hard to believe that before the 1st of April the daffodils are blooming along with the apricot trees...The day was moving right along when my iPhone signaled a text message...Bobi, enticed by fresh lemons from Arizona and "quality time with parents," was on the road to Joseph...Hmmm, maybe I should put the laptop away, thaw something for dinner and keep cleaning up my scattered messes.
Herb fixed breakfast and was washing the car when Pam stopped by to catch up on our adventures...After a visit with her we kept moving and Herb decided to do a little burning along the fence line where debris from the mustard field out back had piled up...He drug out the hoses, but didn't think to call the City Office and get a burn permit...He finished a small stretch along the fence and decided since it was still quite wet that that was enough for now...A half hour later, freshly showered and ready to settle in his chair, he decided he would make sure the fire was not going anywhere, just smoking a bit...I back at my laptop, the time zipped by and I heard Bobi's car come in the driveway...When I went out to greet her, smoke was really billowing up and after a second look, the fire with a little help from the wind was now burning all the debris along Williams' fence line...Hmmm that wasn't in the plan...Bobi and I started dragging out more hoses, hooked it to the neighbors water faucet and helped Herb get the fire "contained." We were all expecting fire sirens and flashing lights at any time, luckily no one called in a fire...Whew.
Our dinner and evening passed uneventful, just non stop talk about relatives and friends, as we "replayed" our last three weeks for Bob...Bedtime was early but the night was disturbed by leg cramps for Herb and coughing fits for me...Wonder what adventures today will bring....Hugs To All...OWAV:)
