There is definitly a cold chill in the air. Summer is gone and so is the warm beautiful weather we had. Poor ole' Butch is sooooo sad that we took his backyard swing apart and covered up the frame. When the weather was beautiful he would spend the whole day swinging himself in the swing. This past week while dad was at work and Mimi was in school, I spent the afternoon raking, cutting all of the dead leaves in our backyard, thinking the whole time about how I would have loved to have been a "well kept woman" especially when picking up Butches "treasures". While doing all of this yardwork, I tripped and slid across our muddy grass in the backyard while spewing out every curse word I could think of at the moment. I now have a humongous bruise on my right lower leg and upper right arm. They both are now a lovely shade of black and blue colors with a hint of yellow.
As they say, "things happen in threes". That particular day when I fell, Janet was limping to school so Keri told me, Blake fell at school and sustained a nice black and blue lump on the noggin and the next day grandpa fell at his new digs in the dinning hall. Fortunately we all were not badly injured and grandpa is doing just fine.
In the meantime I was able to get my Tulip bulbs planted so hopefully by next Spring I will have some beautiful Tulips growing. Last Friday night at the school's beach party dad was .........let's see........how can I put this delicately? In the doghouse along with Butch? Yeah, I guess I will just leave it at that. Well anyhoo, I was frustrated with him and so on Saturday morning I did what I always do when I get this way, I go shopping. A shopping I went too. Mimi was at Blake's and I had the car and the credit card. Smart man that dad is, he knew I was upset with him and to make up he painted over the plantar's that grandpa had given to me. We both did not care for the purple color that grandpa had painted them. All is well in the Putney household again. So now tomorrow I can plant my Hyacinths and hopefully they too will come out beautifully next Spring.
