It's time for my twelve photos on the twelfth. The weather today was awesome with low humidity and temps in the lower 80's. We spent the morning on the Ponderosa, the afternoon in Cookeville and the evening back on the Ponderosa relaxing in the living room!
The day began at 6:00 A.M. with the annual driveway sealing. My only job this time was to prepare a mid morning snack of ham and biscuits. When Peanut and I did this job ourselves it always took two days because it is hard work and we would give out about halfway. The drive is about 1900 feet long so it was a long way to go! These guys were finished at 11:00 A.M.
Since I was not needed for the driveway sealing, I tackled another chore, the removal of dust from underneath one of the beds. Yes this room has wooden paneling on the walls and gold carpet that was installed when the house was built. The bed was rescued from the attic of my in laws home in 1974! Yes, this room is dated, but it is clean!
Because of lack of food, we decided to leave the Ponderosa and drive to Cookeville for supplies. No driving on the freshly sealed blacktop, so we left through the woods.
First stop our favorite place to eat chicken.
It was late, we were hungry!
It was a shame to waste an opportunity for 30% off so we stopped by Kohls and the grandsons both got a new shirt and the granddaughter a cute outfit. Everyone needs some new fall duds!
Lowes was nice enough to have e-mailed both of us a 10 dollars off a ten dollar purchase coupon so we stopped by and found these new red flower boxes to decorate the Ponderosa playhouse! Thanks Lowes!
The Ponderosa is looking all neat and well manicured today because Peanut has been spending some time on the tractor and with the weed eater.
The afternoon sky was just an extra added bonus!
My majestic twelve foot tall mole beans made it into the photos on August 12th, but they took a direct hit from the wind on Sunday and do not look so great today!
We are always at war with something on the Ponderosa, usually it is some varmints, but lately these pesky acorns are reeking havoc falling on the deck, the vehicles, the driveway and covering the back yard so thick it is hard to walk without turning an ankle! They also make a lot of noise when they hit the deck, the table, the gas tank and especially the heating unit!
My kindle fire, I really did not believe that I would enjoy reading on it because there is nothing like holding a book, but it is so light and easy to see. I can check out books from the library or buy them from Amazon! It is much neater than the stack of books by my bed. Currently I am reading
have a little faith by Mitch Albom. You can see that I am 76% finished, and with swipe of my finger I can start the new book right behind it. I usually spend some time with it at the end of every day!
I hope your 12th was as pleasant as mine!
