Good Morning,
I am sitting here with Roger pacing back and forth wanting to go out at 4:30 AM………NO!!! It is still dark. He is so hard to keep in.
I saw a bat or two but only got one blurred picture.
Rick made an apple pie yesterday.
We had a beautiful big Cooper’s Hawk hanging around yesterday.

Good morning, I just opened the big window curtains in the living room and the sun looks so pretty all across the tree tops. We went to the camp yesterday and packed up all the food in the pantry and in the refrigerator and turned it off. We packed up clothes and that was a full load to bring back. I have deep cleaning to do so took up the Shark wet mop and bought new mop pads to clean all the wood floors. Need to scour the shower and sinks and wash down the refrigerator and dust. We had… Read more »

Hi Jenn
It is too bad you didnt get the cleaning done when you still had water…..
This is my Shark steamer, is yours the same or different?

Jenn
September 23, 2026 6:38 am

Yes, exactly the same Ardy. I stopped at Walmart to buy new steamer pads and it was $24+ for a box of 2 pads. I am going to work on sewing up some pads possibly.

Good plan for Denny to move the paint cans so they don’t freeze over the winter.

A red sky this morning but still no rain in the forecast.🙄.
Sunny periods today with a high of 74F so very pleasant once again.
Up at the crack of dawn again getting used to these early mornings now.lol.

Good morning Ice,
Sounds like a beautiful day for you.
Seems your waking up with the birds these days. 😊 The mornings are getting light later but will change with the time change. We do not know if there will be a time change it is pending in the Senate now.🙄

Hi Jenn.
A lovely sunny day for sure light wind tried to do a bit more weeding, that did not last very long.lol.
I wish they would leave the clocks alone here, they are always talking about it but nothing ever happens.🙄😘

A little weeding a day can make a good difference after awhile. I used to weed all my flower beds and garden beds in the Fall. Those were the good old days bending and pulling weeds came easy…lol
We were so close with Congress voting to stop it but it hung up in the Senate. UGH! I would be in favor of it ending it is weird changing the clocks back and forth.

Good Morning! Cloudy and 75 going up to 86.  Yesterday Craig and I enjoyed our time at MapleWalk Garden. It’s a privately owned residential woodland garden located in Charlotte and less than a 20 minute drive for us to get there. We didn’t even know this garden that’s open to the public existed until we saw it featured by one of our gardening YouTube channels a few months ago. We will definitely visit again to see how it looks in the different seasons. Lib who lives in the house she and husband Tom own met us out in their extensive… Read more »
