A busy Monday it was. We are warming up yet again. At least for now, no rain in forecast. Cooked a ham today in oven. Lots of leftovers..put most of it in freezer. Made another trip to the grocery store. But they had a good sale. Have a wonderful new week ahead -:)
It is a gorgeous day in my area and I have enjoyed being outside a bit. What are you up to today? I hope whatever you are doing (or not), you are enjoying every minute of your Saturday. Darlene, so often the baked potatoes in restaurants are ginormous and Dave and I will share one. We will share one for supper and then share the one we bring home the next day. Restaurant portions are usually generous enough that we can eat leftover the next day. We went out to youngest daughter's this morning and then into Lowe's. This afternoon we've been piddling here at home. The weather is
Be safe, too, Darlene, whether you have w/e plans or not. Yeppers, we still have our wee snowmen decor out and about in the house. It's not March yet, so they're still around. Y'know... those critters wouldn't know a shadow if they saw one, right? haha Hope you and DH are doing well, my friend. *hugs*
A very happy almost-Friday to you! How has your day been? We did our grocery pick up this morning and I have laundry hanging out to dry. It is a sunny 60* F day and just beautiful. Enjoy your afternoon and evening. Darlene, being a cool weather person like you, I do dread summer. I love the garden, flowers, sunshine, etc., but the humidity and heat are unbearable. Summer is my least favorite season except for the fact that we grow our garden and flowers. I do love those.
I think many of us will be glad to see the back side of January; it's such a long and dreary month. Dave and I will begin our seed starting for the garden this afternoon. We have grow lights and heat mats and usually do quite well starting plants indoors. Generally we don't plant the garden until mid April but it takes time for seedlings to grow and be ready for the garden. I also have cockscomb seeds to start today. Time to get my hands dirty, Darlene!
Wow, Darlene... a new month arrives and I'm not done w/this one. Maybe February will appease us snow-lovers w/some white magic on our lawns. Hope so! Yes, how I the coming months of sweltering, oppressive, stifling, humid, torrid heat. I have more descriptive words, but that'll do. lol Hope your midweek day is pleasant, dear friend. *hugs*
Hello Darlene. A very pleasant 80f this afternoon. Here we are at the end of January and already heading into our last month of Summer. Does not seem all that long ago when it was the first month of summer.
Had to fast overnight as I had to have a Blood Test so no brekkie until late morning. That's OK as I usually only have a slice of toast and a cup of tea. Also had my hair trimmed while in town then back home again. The town was busy and it took me sometime to find a good convenient Park.
Our morning and afternoon gatherings have started again for the New Year. Scrabble on Monday and the Fortnightly Friday Social Group commences this week. Also went to a friends 90th Birthday gathering last Saturday and met up with some people that I had not seen for awhile.
No, I’ve not played Dominoes. I’ve heard of it but never seen it played. I used to work with Jigsaws but since down grading to a unit I’m limited in the space of setting one up so that I don’t have to move it until it's finished.
Spent much of last week working in the garden, cleaning and trimming shrubs, re potting plants and I also planted Petunias in pots and a Tomatoe bush. At this stage they are all looking good.
It's Friday! So happy to see sunshine today. Yesterday was dreary and tomorrow is supposed to be a washout so I'm beyond grateful for the sunshine and 70* today. Enjoy what is left of today and let's get our weekend off on the right foot. YES, I understand what you're saying about being chilly in the house when it's warm and rainy outdoors. We commented the very same yesterday, Dave and I. There was a chill in the house but it was humid and upper 60s outside. Weird.
Nope, got nary a flake of snow so far. Glad you and Augie have enjoyed it this winter. Most ppl that get it complain about it, but you two rejoice:) Rain here for rest of the week. But we still need it. What I like about Valentines is its CHRISTMAS RED! Have a special day, dear friend! Sent w/smiles... -di
Very chilly here today. Sunny though. We will warm up next week ...rain will follow. Missed Donald's speech yesterday, so will catch up later today. Have a wonderful weekend Darlene -:)
'Tis Friday! Yayyyy! Lots of us will be in the deep freeze for a few days, some w/snow, some w/o. Stay warm & safe! Yes, I remember "fish on fridays" from grade school lunchroom days. Fish is one of our favs, any day of the week:) The South is famous for our fried catfish fillets. Absolute tastiness... w/hushbuppies, slaw, pickled onion, fried pickles and fries. Have a good one, dear Darlene!
The sun is quickly warming the air from 14º to 28º this morning. Doc appmt day for DH, then takey-outey BBQ for our meal. Make this a really good day, Darlene:) *hugs*
I hope that whatever you are doing today, you have a terrific Tuesday. Chilly in my area and I plan to do some crafting and puttering around. What are you up to? Make it a great one! Darlene, you mentioned the sparkles on the snow and it brought back fond memories. I, too, loved that. At night it was like tiny stars on the ground and, in daylight, it could blind you with it's shine and glitter. Enjoy the snow enough for me, too, please.
No snow here, but it got close..just 90 minutes North, it is a winter wonderland. Not even any rain..which we don't need. Looking at the extended forecast, end of next week we wioo see mid 60'x. Spring arrives March 19 this time..it's going to be a bumpy ride no doubt -:)
Happy sunny Sunday to you. At least I hope it's sunny in some way. We buzzed to the store for bird seed and a few craft supplies and now I intend to say my Hill hellos and rest! Have a nice afternoon and evening. Darlene, I'd love to meet you in that imaginary coffee shop with snow falling outside the windows. And I also wish we could bottle some of the cold air for those stifling summer days. If only, huh?
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was horrendous and today is sunny and cold. We got just over 3" rain and the wind did a bit of damage to things but it could've been much worse. Dave is working on repairing our arbor that fell partway over and and came to rest on a fence. The little fish pond overflowed and the backyard was a swamp. But today, with the sun shining, life is better and MJCH prettier. I hope this storm system wasn't unkind to you. Enjoy today, Darlene!
