We've had such great weather the past few days that I hate to see it change. Tomorrow there will be change. We will probably get some more rain, although no thunderstorms are predicted. But what I do hate is that the temperature is going to drop. Bummer!
Today was really nice. The Beast and I lowered the nesting boxes so that it would be easy for the hens to reach them once they start laying eggs. I just hope they do use them instead of laying them all over the place. I've heard that happens, too. I spread some more cracked corn for them and he got more of the greens that they love. They headed for the cracked corn as soon as I started spreading it but went for the greens as soon as the Beast put it down. Fussy little buggers.
Our day was nice and quiet. The Beast took care of his dress clothes that were dirty and then did a little bit of touch up ironing on some of the shirts. It's funny but the cheapest shirts that he bought are the ones that didn't need any. Neither do the dress pants that he bought at the same place. He really has that snob thing going for him that you had to pay a lot of money to get good quality clothes. It doesn't always work that way, however. He found that out for himself.
Don't get me wrong. There are some great pricey clothing out there but I found that, if you find the right resale shops in the right neighborhoods, you can get them (sometimes with the tags still on them) for incredibly low cost. I had a place in La Jolla, California like that. I bought Chanel dresses and suits for under $40. WITH the tags on them. Why could I get them like that?
Well, it seems that many rich men will provide their wives with credit cards but no cash. That gives them a way to check where their wives are spending money. The wives, however, sometimes like to have real cash and a way to do some things that they don't want their husbands to know about. So they buy clothes and then sell them cheap to resale shops that understand these things. That's how I could buy really nice clothes (I had a job that I had to dress for success at) for reasonable....more than reasonable...prices. I loved it. But we don't have those around here. But I no longer have to dress for success either....LOL.
I want to get a few nice, new things for my trip to Chicago at the end of June. That's coming up sooner than I can believe. Time is just flying by. But having a couple months means I can hit a few of the resale shops around here and see what I can find. I can't help myself. I believe in shopping smart. Always have. Always will. I just find it difficult to buy things for myself without being aware of the cost. I worked my whole life and I know how hard it is to earn money. Now that we are retired, I am working on a limited amount of funds. Only the Beast seems to think that our funds are unlimited. To him, maybe. But not to me.
Well, it's late and I am tired. I'm heading for bed now. I've actually been sleeping better the last couple of nights. I hope you all are feeling good. I wish everyone good weather and good health. Love you all. ***Hugs***
