We have guests from Ponca City (David and Mary Lou) on Wednesday, who golfed at Roman Nose State Park on Thursday. They stayed in the New Mexico room and David and I had a good visit about New Mexico in general. Thankfully, the weather was perfect on Thursday after a stormy Wednesday night. We didn't get any hail like other nearby areas did (OKC), but we got a good thunderstorm and lightening show. David and Mary Lou said they sat out on the covered patio of their room and watched some of the show.
For breakfast I made sage sausage, applesauce with sliced apples on the side, and our standard "hole-in-one", an egg grilled in a hole of a piece of bread that is buttered and toasted; and sliced tomatoes with a drizzle of an apple dressing garnished with fresh rosemary. I didn't take any photos but it really was a pretty breakfast setting. Mary Lou, who had recently had hip surgery, suggested we put a chair in the NM room that has arms. Right now there is a leather high-backed chair with no arms in that room, but we have an armchair in another room that we will switch out. I really do like getting suggestions from visitors on what we can do to make their stay even just that little bit more comfortable.
Andy and I went out to the "back forty" to hunt for mushrooms again yesterday, since the weather warmed up after a good rain. Didn't find any more after the crop we gathered on Tuesday.
Today if work day in the yard -- pulling weeds, raking up leaves, cleaning out flower beds, trimming dead off of the trees and bushes. the irises are starting to bloom. Everything is turning green.
And here's the latest progress on The Oven -- it's coming together nicely:
