Rody helping Rehvyn make a basket
Fred texted us, then called in the morning to let us know that Lourdes was sick during the night and still was sick. We were supposed to get together to go out on their pontoon and then grill out and eat. We are going to do it on Monday now, after Bill’s Ann Arbor appointment. We read our Bibles and prayed.
It was cool out so, I went out and started weeding on my flower garden. The ground was so hard that I had to put the sprinkler on it for 30 minutes so it would make the weeds easy to come out. I cut off dead peonies while I waited and pulled some other weeds. Filled my jelly feeders too. I put a sprinkler in the front to water our new plants. I moved the sprinkler to the tall weedy garden and let it run. Bill ran Vikki some potato salad so she could have it with her sloppy Joes. Last night she sent us some sloppy joes, so I decided to split our potato salad with her. When Bill dropped it off, he told her about all the weeds and that I was doing it alone. She called and insisted she bring Peyton and Isaac over to help me. I finally told her yes. Boy was I glad. They were such great helpers and it sure is more fun working with someone. We had lots of laughs, and of course I talked to them some about the Lord. We worked on the weediest garden first. We did all where the ground was soaked and they came out easy. Then we had to quit and water it more, because the weeds were so tall, the water wasn’t getting past the first ones to water the other part of the garden.
We went and worked on my flower garden. They sure pulled lots of weeds out with me. We were hot when the sun came out. They called their mom so she would bring their swim suits when she came back. We finished and picked up all of our tools and gloves. Isaac hauled the yard waste cans where they go. We came in and all had ice cream. If was fun enjoying it together. Isaac and Peyton had a bet for $5 about what book of the Bible they were reading every night. Isaac said Matthew and Peyton said Proverbs. I figured Peyton was going to win when she called her mom because I had suggested they read Proverbs and Vikki wanted to. It was Proverbs. Isaac wasn’t paying up though. We did get a good laugh that Isaac follows along in his Bible every night and he was in the wrong book of the Bible.\
I ended up taking them home, so Vikki didn’t have to bring Rehvyn out again. I hung out there for quite a while enjoying Rehvyn and the kids and visiting with Vikki. Rody got home just as I was getting ready to leave. Rehvyn had put his shoes on himself because he wanted to go outside when I left. We ended up playing the piano. He was just the cutest playing and then turning around and clapping for himself and smiling so big.
He was happy to see Rody when he got in the house. We all went outside and he waved and I beeped the horn a couple of times when I left.
When I got home, I put Preen down on the flower garden. I noticed Bill had started pulling weeds in the back garden, so after I took a few buckets of water out of the pond, (I was waiting for my timer to go off, but it filled up quicker than I thought it would and was too full).
I went back and started pulling weeds where the water had soaked in again. It sure made it easier. Bill dug out weeds in the dry end. Too hard for me. He wanted me to pick his weeds up after her dug a hill of them out, but I was doing to good getting them out on my end and wanted to keep going. We finally got all the weeds out and filled a couple more yard waste cans. We have many to pick up tomorrow, but came in to rest for tonight. He worked more on the funeral and I worked on my blog. It was a busy but great day. It feels so good to have so many weeds out. Our regular garden isn’t too bad. It will seem easy compared to all of these other weeds.
So thankful for my great helpers. I am blessed!
