Good afternoon my friend. Got all my housework done and sitting here writing comments by the air conditioner. its99* here and a little breezy. My tomatoes and cucumbers are growing but not putting out any blooms yet. I think its just to hot for them. I keep them watered and they look good. Hopefully they will do something soon. Well take care and stay cool and hydrated. hugs, Cheryl
I know those of you on the East and the West coasts have a reprieve from this heat, but at 10:30 am we are nearing a "feel like" of 100°. I made it outside to water plants and looked just like the picture above by the time I was finished.
So now that I have cooled a bit under the ceiling fan in the computer room and combed my hair. I thought I would check and see how you are doing this Friday.
I hope you and your friends are gathering for the long weekend and have a plan to stay cool and to have a fun party time in the old town. We are excited after 3 days with no softball (it is over) or baseball, there are 2 college baseball games today and tomorrow. So I will check on you later!
happy Thursday afternoon my friend. Its a hot sunshiny day here. Just might as well know its going to be hot as its almost summer. Stay cool and drink lots of water. Take care. Cheryl
It was a nice day here - not too hot or humid at all. Went to the center - had 'breakfast' lunch, then stayed for a craft. made a tea cup hanging bird feeder. i don't have a tree out front anymore a it had to be cut down as it was diseased. Kinda miss it. Well it was at boyfriend's house. But it's pretty and I might hang it in the house somewhere. Felt tired all day and tried to lie down but I didn't sleep. Had easy dinner of leftovers and now gonna take a shower and wash my hair. it'll wake me up for a while anywyay! Going out to dinner with the group tomorrow. I love bacon anything especially BLTs. Have a nice nite! Hugs, Wendy
I got out to water my plants and even with my hair braided and pulled up I was drenched with sweat! The heat index is horrible today already 101* and getting worse next week.
Good afternoon my friend. It isn't as hot here today as its been, but still have the air conditioner on. Its 86* but feels like 84*. But it still feels hot. Tomorrow its back to 100*. I hope you are doing good and it isn't to hot where you live. It isn't even summer yet and I'm already tired of the heat. I'm not a hot weather person or a cold weather person. I like the in between that we don't get enough of. Well take care my friend, hugs Cheryl
The front and back plants have already been watered today. I am craving BACON so I "might" fry up a pound. Doesn't Bacon and Egg Sandwich sound good?
Then I hope to read the new book I started this week. If I read at night I get sleepy. Besides, I love Hallmark and UPtv Christian and "feel good" movies.
Its another hot and windy day here. its 99* and feels like 97*. Not doing much just staying in the house by the air conditioner where its cool. I went to Walmart this morning and got a few things. It was already hot by then. You take care my friend and stay cool. Hugs, Cheryl
I have errands to run today. The College World Series starts Friday. So I will catch up on movies on UPtv or Hallmark or read Christian books on Kindle. But for now, I am off and running.
Don't forget to share your smile with everyone you encounter. We have a reprieve from 100's until next Monday, unless they change the forecast, but that is something to smile about.
Hi there my friend. I hope this note finds you staying cool. Its hot here. 100 degrees and windy. Yesterday it got up to 108. To hot and it isn't even summer yet. I'm staying in the house by the air conditioner. To hot to be outside. Well take care my friend, hugs Cheryl
Short night, 4 hours sleep. The Longhorns baseball game was supposed to start at 3 pm but with rain delay in NC, it didn't start until 9:15 pm. However, we are heading on to Omaha so it was worth the very late night. Then dogs were barking at a snake way before daylight and later two of them each caught a mouse, one of which brought the still barely alive one in the house. It is nap time in our house! SO, HOW IS YOUR MONDAY GOING?
Does anyone have a telephone number for Sparks505, or know if Lee is OK? She hasn't answered my email and I am still worried about her. Thanks!
Next question, do you ever see Monarch Butterflies? Do you have any Milkweed plants? They look like this...
When Monarchs feed on milkweed, the caterpillars ingest toxins in the plant that make them poisonous to predators until they become adult butterflies. The plant will have pods on it that contain seeds.
This is what the pod looks like when it opens and the seeds fly away, all over the place. I have at least three envelopes full of seeds and many more pods to open soon. Let me know if you would like seeds. My neighbor, a teacher, always captures the caterpillars and watches them turn into a butterfly. This year we were both out of Milkweed because of the bad freeze a year ago in February. We both bought plants. I also bought 4 colors of seeds which I shared with others already not knowing how many seeds my plant would produce. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this lesson as I did not realize Monarchs covered such a large area.
