Well,the county fair is winding down today with the livestock sale. Only heard of three chickens dying in this heat so hopefully all the other animals survived. My grandson will sell his chickens around noon. So glad this hot week is about over! Making food today for family reunion tomorrow. Thankful we will be in AC! If it's sweltering in your neck of the woods, keep cool; for those in the cold of winter, keep safe and warm! Blessings, Nancy
A happy warm weekend to you . Some of you can probably fix supper on the sidewalk !. Supposed to be a cool front coming in & cool us off into the low 90's . Enjoy your weekend & take care.....George
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. JettaNurse, I pray YOU have a SPENDIDLY SENSATIONAL SATURDAY, and are having a MARVELOUS WEEKEND, my friend...
Good afternoon! Been a busy day for me and I've gotten much accomplished. It is a heatwave for so many of us that I'm sure we all find ourselves getting things done indoors b/c we avoid going outside! I just keep the pitchers full of iced tea and the bowl of chunked up watermelon full in the frig! I refuse to wish away the summer just because it's uncomfortable. I'm loving the fresh produce and ever-grateful for the air conditioning. I'd love to shake the man's hand who invented that! LOL
Thank you so much for the awesome comments. I appreciate them all. It has been since Thanksgiving that I have been able to get here to send any back to you all. I am going through them all & reading them all. (still working on it) It was a quiet weather Winter. I did not start up the snow-blower once... not a single time. And, here in mid NH we had only 1 night below 0*, just 10* below for a couple hours. That is freaky warm & freaky snowless. But, of coarse we had a huge El Nino in the Pacific Ocean all winter, so, it was what I was expecting. I have been cranking, repairing & painting, for my business. I am finally in a quiet time... little work & great weather. Sooooo, I had a right eye cataract replaced. I was seeing nothing out of that eye. People kept saying, “Man, your left eye must be really tired.” Hahahahah, Actually the right eye was the one tired, from working so hard to TRY to see. So, I was done my 4 week daily regimen of eye drops yesterday. Dr., happy I am healing faster than expected, & last Dr. visit is Tuesday, 23rd.
I am working hard to get my veggie garden completely in. I have been experimenting with containers the past couple years. This year I am totally container: carrots, beets, parsnips, onions, leeks, red cabbage, eggplant, summer yellow squash (don't like zucchini, no zucchini) butternut squash, pumpkin (to eat), lots of red potato, and two variety of rare heirloom tomato, several herbs. I grow some herbs year round in the kitchen window. I have all of the “from-seed” crops in, I just need to get the already started, squashes & some herb plants, into the big growing pots. And I have to make 4 window boxes 4' x 8” each (PVC trim board) , so I can put my flowers in. I winter over a lot of flowering & foliage plants. Then a friend of mine & I have to put on a new roof on my 26' x 34' Cape. Just one side. The other side is new Architectural shakes. Then I have to replace clapboard on the front peak side, along with some trim, brick molding & window sills (PVC trim Board no more rotable wood). The clapboard is to be fiberglass reinforced concrete, (“Hardie Board”). & if I have enough time a new 8' x 8' deck. The one there now is 4' x 4',& fell off the house & is shored up with a gallon drywall bucket under 1 corner. I'm putting a floating one (not attached to the house) on concrete feet, so I don't have to bother with town permits & it can't be taxed either. So... I hope you all are doing well & enjoying a great Summer. I am going to try to get here more often, because I love hearing from you all.
G'day, Matey! A sunny, steamy, scorcher again today. I am enjoying the produce of summer...eating watermelon every day. Cools me down and tastes so refreshing. Keep cool and enjoy the day whatever your weather. After I get some cleaning done, I intend to crochet away the rest of the day!
This pup looks comfy taking a nap in his wheelbarrow. He wouldn't be comfortable HERE today doing that, however. More of the same....hot, humid, hazy. Oh, and let's not forget suffocating, stifling, and stuffy. Thankful all I need to do outside later is water my thirsty potted plants on the porches and steps. I've got supper in the crock pot, so no oven today. How is your day going and how is the weather at your house? I think most of us are melting, aren't we? After all, it IS July! Keep cool and enjoy the day.
