Ours is only the continued threat of freezing for four more nights, which so far here in south west Florida somehow we have been able to escape thankfully!
In spite of the inclement weather; too cold to believe, only highs in the low fifties!
We did manage to take care of business, and we accomplished all errands set for today’s schedule.
The warehouse store was a major choice for the day’s journey for water at 32 bottles for just $4.48 in the thinner recyclable material that even if it doesn’t go where they say it will it will still decompose, and so we bought two of those, and gasoline for our car to fill up. Which is usually cheaper by five to ten cents a gallon less than the other road shops, but it was just our luck by our late morning arrival it had just gone up by five cents a gallon! Although the other stations probably too went up, but for some reason on our way home I forgot to check.
Then on to the home store for house plants and potting soil, yeah!
We did find a bunch of my all time enduring favorites, dracaena, schefflera, ivy, a couple of succulents, and a Boston fern filled out the home pots waiting for them, very pretty and oh what oxygenation! They are currently all planted and scattered here and there according to their light needs. Hubby even gave me a spare sprayer to use as a mister for the Boston, and I painted the recycled bottle with my acrylic non toxic paint in a very pretty apple green.
We also stopped first thing to pick up some wine at our discount liquor store.
And tonight my co-ordination was way off again as I put my red wine Lucite glass on the coaster between our two easy chairs I looked over to admire the new look I made to the foyer table with my wooden Toucan, ceramic butterfly, and bee candle holders with a colorful mini print in the center I knocked over my glass and sprayed the entire, well not the entire, but most of the glass of RED WINE at my Hubby’s matching easy chair that's in off white ribbed cotton , and I screamed and went to work with a bottle of club soda and upholstery cleaner, and Hubby went to the garage for his wet dry shop vac. Together, we did the best we could, several times, and all we have to do now is pray that it is all gone.
Hubby is resting his derriere on white towels over the damp remainder of our cleaning efforts. I hope it will heal.
Foolishly, I have attempted another glass of red wine while I write tonight, but it is in the sunroom on the very wide top of this desk on a coaster, oh darn, yes I have spilled things on this too including this keyboard, but I promise I will try to be more careful!
And this Cabernet is so good, really!
With that true confession I will bid you all a very good night, and to all count those blessings and I will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
