No sun for us today, looks very much like rain, the forecast if it is correct, is predicting showers until Wednesday. Sure can tell Autumn is slowly creeping up on us. Love the colours and smells of Autumn.
Yesterday I worked in one flower bed all afternoon, dug out plants that were getting too big for the space, and transplanted others, still more work to be done on the hillside garden (that is what I call it, it is on a sloppy area), working here is hard on the legs and feet as they are always on an angle never flat on the ground. A good workout for sure, must remember to do this garden in short spurts.
The students had a small (only 15 people) get together yesterday in their back garden. Before it started one of the students came over to us and wanted to give us his telephone number so we could text him to tell him to keep the noise down if it got too loud. It was just a couple of hours in the afternoon, they played a couple of games and had a drink or two, no problems at all. It sounded as if they were having a great time. In fact, it was great to see young adults having a good time without getting sloshed with booze. We did not have to contact them, there was no loud music ??? you know the kind with the thump, thump of the base drums, in fact no music at all. I think we are on a good relationship with these students, it's best to start right from the beginning letting them know what is expected from them as neighbours in a residential area, as they will be living in the house for three years. In the past, in other houses on the street, the noise level and rowdy behaviour has had to be quieted by visits from police.
While watching the tennis this afternoon I will be sewing down some of the binding on a quilt, other than that, it will be a quiet day.
Dinner last night was a clean out of the fridge, some leftover roast beef and gravy, I added some mushrooms and more onions to the rice pilaf which made it more tasty. A coleslaw salad with cherry tomatoes and peach crisp for dessert. It was all quite tasty for being leftovers.
Today's dinner, steak, baked potato, broccoli, caesar salad and the remaining two portions of peach crisp. Hubby just told me tennis starts at 4:00 p.m., so it will be a late dinner, so instead of steak it will be ham, which cam be made ahead of time.
Have a great Sunday no matter what you plan on doing.
Oh what a lovely meeting with your new neighbors, Pat. They sound like wonderful "kids" who will be kind & respectful. A nice big plate of homemade cookies or cake, taken over there once in awhile, might help to ensure their respectfulness. *lol* Never hurts to "butter up" the neighbors, does it. Your supper sounds delicious. Enjoy it and the tennis matches. ~Andrea xoxoxo
