Good morning
Took my 5am morning walk yesterday. If my foot didnt hurt all the time i would walk farther.
Then I decided to wash the last window of the house. I still need to wipe down the shades.
Rick went to the dentist…..he was home by 9:15 and his appt was at 8am…Rick doesnt even know how many crowns are being replaced. I guess he doesnt care. I was there 2 hours prepping for three crowns but the dentist left me sit for 45 min while he worked on someone else.

I wish you could walk further Ardy, sorry for the foot pain. Wish there was something you could do to help it.
Wow, Rick got out quickly ! You saying ‘guess he doesn’t care’ did make me 😬 Crowns are not cheap !
Your windows must look so nice since you have them mostly all cleaned.

Our dental gives us $3,000 a year so they will be covered. Yes I am done with the windows and starting over again….at least on the outsides.

I just had to identify myself to post ? My computer is all messed up I kept getting an ‘oh snap’ when I tried to watch anything. I went through a purging on my computer but still having lots of issues with Chrome. My computer is old and on it’s way out I think. Heavy rain overnight it is sure is wet out there. The weekend looks great though sunny and 70’s. I went to a local nursery and bought more flowers to plant and 2 big bags of potting soil. This picture posted on FB with this caption.

Good Friday morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. A cool but sunny start to the day a high of 53F today with still that NW gusty wind. Had a couple of sharp showers yesterday that nearly topped the water butts up and due a few more today. Topped up the bird feeders really seeing a lot of action from the Finches now. Even got a Magpie who has worked out how to get on one of my feeders. If I see it I do shoo it away but they are not stupid as he is soon back.lol. Paper in… Read more »

Good morning Ice,

The Magpie is very intelligent, it would be hard to change it’s mind for coming to your feeder. 😉
I wish those NNW winds would die out, hopefully soon. Enjoy the sunshine today. 🌞
I guess your schools only have a 6 week summer holiday? Here it is late May getting out through late August or early September.

They are characters for sure. Some people like to watch their clever antics I think.
That heatwave of 80 degrees will feel very nice indeed.⛱

Hi Ice
I could fill my bird feeder at least three times a day…..”could” but dont.
I have been known to shoo away a bird or two…..but the other day when i was walking past the house that has quite a few 🌵🌵in his yard which he tries to protect from woodpeckers, he as outside throwing rocks at the Woodpeckers which I didnt think was nice at all.

Hi Ardy.
Quite expensive now Sunflower Hearts so I do try to keep the bigger birds away.
Oh I would love to have a wood pecker visit.
I had one on the feeder a couple of years ago and it used to come often but not seen one since.😀😘

The woodpeckers are draining the hummingbird feeders every day. I dont mind, I like to see them.

Woodpeckers are very destructive to Saguaros. We have one and I sure hope they dont peck holes in it.🌵

Howdy-do Lovely Early Bird People 🐦 Another hot/sunny day, 91 🔥 Off to Colo Spgs and the graduation party Friday; my nephew’s youngest/Dominic. Looking forward to seeing every one; other than my sister, it’s been a couple years. Having said that, not looking forward to the drive. UGH. Went thru a few old photo albums in the last couple days, throwing away people ones no one recognizes but me and lots of no-people ones. The ones i kept are of family; most of whom are gone now. Still have a bunch of albums to go thru, but at least it’s… Read more »

Hi Pam,
Have a wonderful time at the family party 🎉
It is good to purge pictures after awhile. With digital pictures now it is rare to look at albums anymore it seems.

Oh gosh I have 70 photo albums and I couldnt throw any of my photos away……even the non people ones….they are my memories and I do look at them still from time to time, especially when looking for a certain picture.

Good morning,
Damp and chilly outside, started raining at 3pm and rained all night. Puddles everywhere and very wet on the back lawn.
The tables are turning and starting Saturday we will have sunny weather in the 70’s. YAY!
It was cold and wet out yesterday so I did a lot of crochet work and did go to the local grocery for a few items I needed.
