If I were still into alliteration, this would be Friday Frets, Fusses & Frustrations! I'm sure things will look better after a coffee or two.
I am putting a small one room plus bath addition onto my house and am going through the usual front end stuff - building permits, septic tank evaluation, financing - but the killer is that I am going to lose my glorious front perennial bed. There is no other way they can get the excavating equipment into the building space. Lots of the plants can be moved to spaces behind the barn but.....I'm not looking forward to the work and am semi-hoping that the project gets delayed until later in July when the Church dinner and Fair work is over. The good news is that they will dig out the Annabelle hydrangeas that are completely out of control at the front and sides of the porch. I guess I'll survive.
Anyhow...on with it. The house is relatively cool this morning and the windows are all open. I'll close them and draw curtains when it gets hot and cut down on using the AC a bit. This morning I will be making salads in the United Church basement for the beef on a bun BBQ the Beautification Committee is doing at the campground on Saturday. It'll be good practice for the 9 heads of cabbage we have to do for the July 5 dinner. After that, smelling of vinegar, I'll pick up schoolwork from two more schools.
This sounds sort of whiny but really isn't. There's a lot going on but I'm in control and enjoying life. I am soooo looking forward to Sunday when Cottage arrives, not that I expect her to "nanny" me. We will be doing vegetarian cooking when she's her - I even have tofu on hand plus TVP to make chili or something else yummy!
I'm now taking my coffee out to the front porch and admiring my flowers while they are still there. :sad:
Come and chat a bit!
