Sunday was a complete waste of time. Everything we attempted decided to to awry. After going to the dump & getting lattes, we tried to install the gates; only to learn that most of the hardware was missing. Have to make a trip to Sandpoint to replace the equipment. I picked up more pinecones, but with the wind blowing - a lot more fell than were picked up! The new driveway alarm only works if it is within 5 feet of the house; it won't ring if it is further away than that!
Hubby surprised me by drawing two kitties on our bananas. See attached pic*
Most of Monday was spent cleaning up the house and walking the dogs. It rained a great deal and there was a lot of wind. When he was out & about working, hubby spied the Idaho Dept of Transportation weight scales set up down by Spirit Lake on Hwy 54. The huge semis have been blasting by here at excessive speeds as a detour since they are working on Hwy 95. Thank goodness somebody else (besides me all the time) complained!
Cinco De Mayo Tuesday continued in the same weatherly manner. Lots of wind. Cold. Rainy. I hyped up Angus & Harriet in preparation for their dog training class. Explained to Bravo & Isabelle that they would have the run of the house that night by themselves and they were to behave.
As there were over-ripened bananas available, I made Banana-Nut Bread for hubby. He thought it was delicious when he came home to sample it.
After stopping at Starbucks for drinks and a quick potty stop for the dogs, we made our way over to North Idaho Dog Obedience by 5:45pm; it was fun & informative. Sandy & Joy were very helpful. I was astonished to see the dogs responding after only a few attempts. Our class was held inside the big building as it was cold & rainy outside. Both hubby & myself failed to wear jackets & got cold chills.
By 7pm class was finished and we stopped for groceries in Rathdrum on the way home. Greg got all the prep for his burritos. He only has one left before he has to make more.
Wednesday is again cold & rainy. The weather prog·nos·ti·ca·tors indicate that there will be precipitation for the balance of the week. There is road washing & cleaners on our Hwy today! Spring must truly be here.
I am busy making 2 lbs of bacon for hubby's burrito concoctions; later we might have time to run up north for parts.
