Good morning…the dogs are waiting for DH, hope he got more sleep last night..he’ll work from home today, I think. last night watched AI, several good ones on there. Today I’ll either clean a bit or switch some more clothes..winter to spring/summer, even though we’ll have more cold weather but I can layer. It will be in the 50s today so I’ll try and go for a walk or two…hope you all have a nice day 😊
A few deer eating this morning
This is just lovely to watch even though a bit sad. :o(
Good Morning! Cloudy and 44 going up to 59 (yesterday’s high was in the low 80s). Yesterday I washed a load of towels. Today I need to wash some clothes. I also need to do some grocery shopping at The Fresh Market during their weekly Tuesday special on ground sirloin. I like to buy enough for multiple meals of hamburgers and taco salad. When I get home I will portion out the ground sirloin to prepare it for the freezer. Last summer at one of our local nurseries I selected an ‘Electric Plum’ Heuchera, commonly known as Coral Bells, that… Read more »
Good morning Kathy,
It is exciting to see flowers starting on a new plant. 💜
I hope your doing better from your cold today.
Thank you 💜 I’m coughing a bit more than I did yesterday but I do hope I’m through the worst of this extended cold virus that’s going around here.
I pray you get over that awful cough soon.🙏
Thank you 💜
My goodness, that cough has just taken over; you poor thing. 🙏{{HUGS}}
Thank you ❤️
What a pretty plant. Rick buys lots of burger, divides it and then freezes it.
We have to have hamburger balls to out Nikkis pills in for her.
DH buys a lot of hamburger at a time and cooks up a lot, too…we have leftovers and I put a hamburger topper on the dogs’ food…but now I have to give them less because he said the price is higher for the leaner hamburger and the kind he’s getting has more fat (which he likes and wants but I don’t want to give too much of that to the dogs)…also I can’t have lot, no gall bladder
Such a pretty plant 💖
Hi Kathy, my son just bought me two of those and they are starting to come to life ! 🌺

Good morning, We had a nice sunny warm day yesterday. There was a bit of cool breeze so not so hot as it was. Today on the cool side 48 going up to only 65 with strong winds. Talking with Sis Deena on our pm, she is not feeling good at all. I did not know but she said she had been on steroids and that is why her energy was so good at first. Now the chemo is making her sick all over. I was afraid of that, she has 5 more sessions of it every 3 weeks. She… Read more »
Hi Jenn
I’m so sorry the chemo has made Deena sick. Extra prayers for her 🙏🏻❤️🩹
Thank you Kathy, prayers appreciated. 💗
Oh dear Jenn so sorry to hear that hope she manages to stick and come through cured🙏
Thank you Ice, I hope she can deal with this but it will be very hard.
Hi Jenn
I was a little surprised too when you said she was feeling so good. I am sorry she isnt feeling well now, I was afraid of that.♥♥
I was afraid she would not feel so well but I tried to hope for the best. 😥
😘 Too bad it didn’t last, the good feelings
Hi Jenn, sorry chemo is hitting your sister but the side effects are not pleasant and hard to deal with so hope she finds the strength to take it. Its so hard when its a loved one with this battle but hoping for her to persevere ! ♥♥♥
so sorry to hear that, Jenn 🙁
Jenn, i’m so sorry for Deena 🙏 She’ll start feeling better about the time for the next session of chemo; at least that’s what happened with Lian when she was going thru it.
Good morning
I didnt do anything special yesterday….walked and did more laundry….lol
It was 96° and we broke another record but it didnt feel hot to us.
Rick stopped at a booth at the street fair to talked to them about covering up our tiny step into the house that is cement and it is crumbling from old age.We supposedly have an appt for them to come out today for an estimate and were told they would call and confirm yesterday but, of course we never heard from them.
Hi Ardy,
Sounds funny 96 did not feel hot to you both. 😀 This is early for these temperatures for you isn’t it? We also had unseasonably
warm weather for a few days here.
Sounds like what we had going on our front step. Too bad they did not even show up, why do people agree to things they do not intend to do?
Yes it is early for these temps, we have even hit 102….these are June temps.
Yes its a coating over the cement
Hi Ardy
I hope you hear from the folks that Rick spoke to at the street fair. Does Rick have their contact info?
Yes we do have the info, they had us take a picture of the order form with the date and time
sorry you didn’t hear from them…we’ve had that happen and we’ve had “no shows” ..DH even takes time off and waits and then nothing
Good morning, just did a Zoom call and now watching Brownville so very peaceful.
Now to get washed and dressed and wait to get undressed and go to bed again tonight such an exciting day, lol !
Two cute little birds this morning ! 😉
Looks so barren from what it was but soon the leaves will be opening on the trees and a whole different look then.🌳
I quite like it its so peaceful and the Deer didn’t come for apples so maybe they will wander off and find some nice juicy bits somewhere !
Yes, they will have plenty to eat in the woods.

Hi Beryl
Very cute pic of the two birdies 😍

Hi Ice
I am sorry to hear that it is getting harder for you to walk grocery shopping.
I hope your cold temps move out soon.
Hi Ardy.
Just back from Lidl’s manad ged to stagger around and just made it.lol.
I need the Spring back.😘
Aww glad you made it♥♥
Hi ice, I can understand the need to go out and keep up but there is always home delivery if the knees give out !
I had to give up my long walks to Torquay because I had osteoarthritis but Mark bought me some trainers with shock absorption and I was away, sometimes there is an answer but with knees not easy to find an answer to help with walking, its a pain in the ass but in your case a pain in the knees ! SORRY 😘
Hi Beryl.
It is getting a struggle now I shall have to take a look around for the best home delivery.😘
I was going to say maybe its time for groceries delivered but what about your pretzel??
Good morning Ice,
It is not fun having cold wintery weather come back after you had a taste of Spring time. I hope they are wrong about it lasting into more weeks!
So sorry it is harder for you to walk with your knee pain. 😌
Hi Jenn.
I do not think this colder weather is helping my legs need to bare them to the sun I think.lol.
None of my devises yelp for very long, have to grin and bare it.😀😘
Hi Ice
I hope Kerry showed up today and pampered your feet? I’m so sorry it’s getting more difficult to walk 😞😘
Hi Kathy,
She made it ok and at least my feet feel good after.lol.😀😘
so sorry…it’s so important to keep moving…my FIL didn’t ..he also didn’t have knee surgery which would have helped..chiros can help with knee problems also, they helped me…just keep on moving….
Hi Lynn.
I do try I have a “Deskcycle” which I use daily to keep my legs moving.
