Good Morning! Cloudy and 75 going up to 88. We already had a little bit of light rain this morning but it’s already stopped. This morning I need to make more hummingbird nectar and switch out my feeders with fresh nectar. Then I will need to wash the feeders I bring inside to have them clean and ready to refill in a few days. Craig was able to return to work this morning. Yesterday afternoon he felt good enough to do more landscape gardening. Craig was able to get the 3 ‘Glitters & Glows’ Viburnum shrubs planted between the 2… Read more »

Good morning
I worked like a fool yesterday morning, washed the big window off from the rain and washed the door windows too. I did lots of laundry so I dont have to do it today while cleaning the house. It’s going to be hotter week, 106° today.
Great job Ardy! Has to be hard doing that in such hot weather.🌞
Well done Ardy! So sorry about the awful high temps 🥵
Good morning, Heavy rain overnight and still raining until noonish. 58 going up to 67. We stopped to visit sis Deena yesterday, she was sprawled out in her recliner with a quilt and we had a good visit, talked for about an hour then told her we didn’t want to wear her out. She is on so much medication it is unbelievable. Antibiotics and cancer pills and big potassium pills and more. I told suggested to her to put those big pills in applesauce and take a spoonful with the pill it will go down easier. She loves gardening and… Read more »
That was nice you went to see Deena…..fresh strawberries sound good. Did you pick any?
Your door looks lovely…what will the addition room be used for? A “living room?”
The strawberries not ready to pick yet but I saw some big ones already growing!
Yes, living room in the addition. Moving the TV out there.
Hi Jenn.
So pleased that you had a long visit to Deena and that she hopefully is on the mend.
Sounds like enough tablets,lol.😘
Thank you Ice, she sure has more pills than I have seen one person take before. I passed meds working as a CMA ( Certerfied Medical Technician ) and never saw that many pills for any individuals.
Hi Jenn
I’m glad y’all got to visit Deena yesterday. Great suggestion for how she can more easily take her huge pills.
I really like how the new opening makes your little cabin feel bigger 😀
So happy you/Deena got a nice visit 🙏 Good idea to take meds with applesauce, i think Lian used to take some of her pills like that.
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy Lynn Pam.
A hot sunny morning after a humid night, managed to get some sleep with just a Duvet cover.
Last evening about 6-00 pm we had an out of the blue a heavy Thunder storm not forecast either.
Some spectacular lightening bolts and torrential rain for an hour.
At least it filled the water butts up.lol.
Another hot day in store up to 91F today with another hot night.
Up at 5-00 am this morning and Pretzel day shopping today can’t wait to get that over.
Will see you all on my return.😀😘
Good morning Ice,
Wow, another thunder storm and you rarely ever get them. The humidity seems to bring them on, in S. Carolina in the hot summer days we had them almost daily.
Happy to know you slept a little better with just the duvet cover.
I hope the shopping trip was successful and that you did get the pretzels. 😘
HI Jenn. I can count them on one hand so certainly unusual for my area. Oh We struggled today although we went at opening time 8-00 it was still hot. A better night under the duvet cover for sure but we are expecting nigtt time temps over the next two nights of 69F with hight humidity. Shopping not entirely successful got to the till started to unload and goods were covered in milk the bottle had a hole in it.🙄 They gave us a roll of paper and we helped dry the belt, should have had a discount but not… Read more »
I hope you did not have to keep the leaking milk carton! Good grief!
Lay low tomorrow Ice, over 100 could be dangerous to be out. 😮
They did replace the bottle ok, free of charge.lol.
Only out early morning for the paper.😓
Hi Ice
I’m glad you were able to get some sleep with just the a Duvet cover. I hope your Pretzel 🥨 shopping day went well.
Hi Kathy.
Made it around just about but the knees as usual were giving me some gip😘
I replied to you but i dont see it………..
Around 5.20p, Tornado sirens went off for a very long 10 mins; Chuck came up and told Rick & me to head to the basement. Never been quite that near to one. Not looking forward to Thursday, when it’s supposed to be a lot worse. Oh yay … NOT
OH! I say Pam.
Hope you can stay safe from a tornado.😘
Prayers you will be safe Pam. So very scary. 🙏
Oh dear Pam!! I’m glad y’all were okay last evening ❤️ Prayers for y’all to be kept safe on Thursday 🙏🏻
Good Morning! Sunny, humid and 74 going up to 93 with thunderstorms possible this afternoon. Yesterday Craig didn’t feel well all day long so he got approved for a personal day off from work. This morning Craig is already at his 8:00 AM annual physical. Except for some online shopping, I had a computer-free day yesterday and never checked in on our chat. I placed a curbside pickup order of nonperishable items yesterday afternoon from BJ’s that is ready for pickup this morning between 9 to 10 AM. I’ll be leaving around 8:45 AM to go there and on the… Read more »
Here is a pic of the information card ftom one of the shrubs. The bird should have plenty of berries to enjoy this autumn.
they look like blueberries
They sure do like blueberries but only some Viburnum varieties are considered safe for human consumption. Ours are for providing a food source for birds come autumn.
Glitters and Glows, that will surely attract the birds attention. 💜
💜💙
Oh boy, the birdies will be a’chirpin’ 🍂
They should look pretty in the Fall with blue berries.
Hi Kathy,
Goodness, your yard is going to be glorious with so many beautiful plants that you and Craig have been buying and planting. 💜
I hope Craig had a good result with his exam today.
Leaving early to do your errands is a good idea with those hot temperatures.
Our yard has a long ways to go but it’s nice to see the gradual improvements.
Oh my, what a lovely array of plants.
Good morning
Went to church yesterday, some ,laundry and watched TV, Napped and that was about it.
I have to call Target this morning and get this Red card settled since they are trying to collect fro me since my card was for our old account….Ugh
Sounds like you had a nice relaxing day yesterday.
I hope you can get that settled with Target over the phone Ardy. What a pain with everything due to the theft of your account. 😥
Hi Ardy
What a pain with the Target Red Card situation 😞
