What a rainy weekend. No, not constant rain but enough to dampen plans. Yesterday we (The Friends) held a book sale at the library that was held inside due to the rain. We had a good sale considering the wet weather
Today we went to breakfast and I had blueberry pancakes - very good! Also nice not to cook as I've been doing breakfast several times a week. I got laundry done and dusted the glass tables in the living room. With the pollen and such in the air they were quite dirty - at least my efforts showed!
I made peanut butter cookies and I really don't remember ever making them before. No recipe in my files so I went on line as well as checked cookbooks and ended up making one found on simplyrecipes.com. It turned out well and we are enjoying them (Honey liked them too). Dinner is in the oven - a small roast. I'll pop some potatoes in and that will make a nice meal with not too much for leftovers.
The exciting thing was the snake we saw on the patio. We have seen snakes around the property in the garden. A week or so ago a snake slithered in the bushes as I was moving the hose in the front. Today I was looking out the kitchen window and saw what appeared to be a snake curled up by the fire pit on the back patio. I called B over and yep, he agreed. He went down and sprayed it with something and it slithered off. Earlier we had a bird bounce off the sliding glass door off the living room - it was a wildlife day!
And finally, Honey has eaten the face off her favorite toy better known as "the alien". It is this orange wobbly shaped rubber toy that makes (well, it used to) this very distinctive sound (even I can hear it) when squeezed. She runs around with it and offers it to one of us to squeeze or throw. She has been focusing on it lately and it was starting to show the love --- and then I saw her chewing with the alien in her paws minus the nose. Awwww - poor alien --- and sad Honey! She has now moved on to a rawhide chew so I guess she is out of her sad funk.
A busy weekend!
