The bedroom is 95% done with spring cleaning. Woohoo to that. I took advantage of a cold, darker day and got Hubby on board to clean up his stuff. I'm hoping to get him to purge t-shirts next day we can't work outside.
In celebration of our efforts I lit some candles and relaxed. A much better day for both of us.
We were both up early this morning. Nothing like hearing (at 5am), what sounded like a loud pick-up truck pull in near the property and shut off the engine, to get you out of bed. It's still dark here, so we are trying to be quiet to not wake the dogs just yet.
Armed and ready, and they haven't started up their engine to leave either. It'll be light soon and we will be able to see if they are along the south tree line (property line near the field). We also discovered our south flood lights are not working, so upon daylight those will be replaced (I bought back up bulbs thank goodness).
Now that the traffic is very low, we can literally hear so much better now too. I think after that mess with the nuisance neighbor for 3 years, we are easily on alert much more than before.
Oh, and after we went to bed last night we both hear what also sounded like trucks (2 that our daughter saw through the front window, because I ran out and looked myself also), slow in front of the house and it sounded like they were going to stop.
Keep your doors locked and your phones charged, and stay armed. Even if you have to put baseball bats at every entrance. So far, we do not hear them again, but like I said when daylight arrives, we'll get a better look. We are in the boonies, and on a country highway, making an easier target. Stay safe my friends.

Nothing....
I got nothin' today. Everything on the radio or TV is virus this and virus that. Yesterday, although good weather day for a motorcycle ride, I had a scheduled grocery pick up.
I'm sort of mad/sad/depressed. Hubby set up a ride for take out and I couldn't go. I was told I'd get a ride after they all returned and go get take out. Didn't happen.
They must have had 10 bikes too. They were to return early, but nope. They all had to get something to eat, so I made dinner for me and the girls and pouted on the porch. I was pretty livid as I need my sanity saved for months now. Oh, and Hubby lost my leather gloves yesterday, so no ride today. Today it'll be only in the lower 50's and rain. Just great.
Here's last night's dinner - Chicken Spaghetti (before it was baked). I was too upset to add a side veggie. Just mentally drained right now.
