Good morning!
It’s been a disappointing bat 🦇🦇season this year. We have only had a few and its hard to get pictures when there are so few and they arent constantly at the feeders.
I have walked the last two mornings,nice weather for walking. I finished cleaning.
Yesterday was a bad day for mosquitoes inside the house and out.

Hi Ardy,
Too bad it has been a bad year for the bats. At least you got to see a few though.
I love walking in a little cooler weather. We walked a long walk after supper together and I went alone for a shorter walk.
YIKES for the mosquitoes, especially inside.😕

Good morning, Sunny and only 40 degrees but going up to 58. We had very strong winds yesterday, it was wild. I stayed in all day and kept busy. The leaves have been falling constantly and piling up. The day before they mowed and blew the leaves in piles and picked them up and then with those winds yesterday the grass is covered again. That is how it goes . I love watching the leaves fall, something peaceful about it. We are planning on going up to camp today to finish cleaning, me the bathroom and little outdoor refrigerator. Denny… Read more »

Good morning. Beryl, Ardyth, Jenn, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. We are having some real rain this morning at last. Been raining overnight and will continue until late afternoon. 55F at 7-00 will only get to 59F today with a cold North wind a blowing. Must not complain though because it was really needed now. It looks like we will have some rain until the weekend. Will be off later to pick up our prescription from the surgery and I will enquire about changing my inhaler. Still dark at the moment so I haven’t seen the rain yet, long time no see.lol.… Read more »

Good morning, Sunny and cool, 46 only going up to 56 but thankful we have sun. Yesterday was errand day in the morning. First stop was to register for voting in Brunswick and it was the first day of voting at the town office so we got our ballots to bring back and will return them to the town office soon. That was good to register and get our ballots all at once. I needed a pizza pan and did not find one at T.J.’s or Walmart but I did find a nice one at Hannaford grocery store with a… Read more »

Good morning I was just watching the Voice from last night because there is a girl from Tucson on there. Exciting!! I washed the dining room window yesterday morning inside and out….now I am sore from tugging to slide the big window open and closed so no more today. Then when cleaning the hall bathroom I decided to wash the walls. Rick made chili out of the leftover carne asada last night. Our winds have died down some finally. I decided not to go through the hassle of trying to get a refund and am exchanging the tops for the… Read more »

I really like those tops and it makes sense to exchange them, then to hassle for a refund by the sounds of it.
It is a lot of work doing windows but so nice when they are clean.
That would be fun if the girl from Tucson keeps advancing.🤗

I still have to return them to UPS but there is one in the WM center a half a mile from us and I qualified for free shipping.

All four judges turned their chairs for her and the two guys really wanted her but she picked Queen Latifa.
