Hi Ric. Sure hope this new week will be an enjoyable one for you. Have you anything special planned for the week? Whatever it is I hope it will be all you desire. God bless. Pat.
Hi Ric. That's a nice pleasant page you have. Hope you have had a good week and that the new one will also be pleasant. Almost the end of the month. Are you having signs of Spring? Just short of 100 here but cooling down now. Soon our warm summery weather wiil be gone and the cold ones settle in. I'm not looking forward to that. Enjoy your day. Take care. Pat.
Hello Rick. I think those little squirrels kind of like you that’s why they keep coming back for the peanuts. It must be hard for them through the winter months to find food especiall when their stores have run out.
Since moving to my Unit, I don’t have any lawns to mow or water now. Can’t say I’m sorry about that. However, I’ve still got a reasonably garden area both at the front and back. Certainly enough to keep me busy.
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.
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. Enjoy your Wednesday. Take Care Pat.
Hi Ric. It's a pleasant 80f this afternoon but warming up during the week probably around the 100 but that's to be expected.Went to the Garden Centre earlier and bought some Petunia's and a small Russelia shrub also Potting mix as I need to pot a Tomatoe Bush also several other plants. Will do that later this evening. What doesn't get done this evening I'll do tomorrow. Went to a friend’s Birthday Dinner last Friday. Had a nice meal of beef Snitzel with chips and gravy plus a side salad. I only have a half serve otherwise it’s far too much for me. Have a pleasant Sunday and a great week. Take care Pat.
Hi Ric. What a Lovely Page you have. I love that type of scenery.
How are those new shoes going? Have they needed much breaking in? That's a good price for a decent pair of shoes. I certainly would not pay $200 for a pair. I know people do as I see that online in our local "for Sale" section on facebook where someone has bought a pair online and when they arrive find that they don't fit so they try and sell them locally. The price you paid is about what I would do.
It’s very peaceful. A quiet day here and apart from the usual house chores I've not done anything exciting. All the usual Group activities that I go to are on their Xmas break and won't commence until the end of this month or early next.
It's been Humid and thundery weather here these past two days. We have had some rain but so far have missed out on the heavy storms that are causing flooding in many areas. Mainly in the built up City places where the water can't run off. The rains that we have had this summer are good for the Countryside and also the gardens and keeps everything fresh and green. Take care. Pat.
Hi Ric. I hope your New Year went well. Did you do anything special? My day here was quiet. That’s the best of living in a rural area. I did sit up on the eve not to see the New Year in however I couldn't sleep and was reading a book. No noisy fireworks to upset the dogs which was a blessing. Of course all the major cities had fireworks and celebrations were on TV but I never bother to watch anything.
My daughter came for Dinner on the day. After clearing up we played a game of scrabble then when it was dark we took a drive around the Valley to see all the festive lights.
A pleasant day today with the temps in the mid 80’s. Did the laundry and have that all packed away then cut up some Watermelon to put in the fridge for snacks and Salads. Watered the front and back gardens and now in relaxing with the computer.
My best wishes to you are for good health and happiness in 2024 and may everything good come your way. I hope and pray for peace and the end to all conflicts/wars in 2024.
Our nice mild weather continues to spoil us here. It has been quite a busy day apart from the usual daily chores I went to town to have my hair trimmed, then off to collect a ceiling fan that I had ordered. The streets were so busy it was hard to find a park close to the store. Took me three attemps before I found one close enough. Fortunately one of the staff carried the box out to the car for me of that I was very grateful. Also went to the Post Office to mail the last of the cards then back home. Oh yes, I did pop into the supermarket to get a half Kilo of cherries. These have come from interstate and a reasonable price and most importantly are delicious. also some red seedles Table grapes & fresh apricots. I do like my fresh fruit.
Now its evening and I'm watching the Cricket on TV as I sit here. I think that's sort of multi-tasking with pleasure LOL. Enjoy your day. Hugs Pat.
Stopping by to say hello. We may wait until Friday to go out for turkey dinner. He wants to finish connecting up the Christmas lights on Thursday. Planning to turn the lights on Saturday evening..
You see, the little bear is swaying to your music :)
Thank you for thoughtful birthday greeting. Summer sent one too. I see you sent me a nice birthday cake too. I'll need a cup of coffee to go with that. lol. Do you remember I like coffee with sweets?
Just wanted to mention that the site is having one of those page contests again. This time it's fall/Halloween pages. I never enter, but I always vote. I enjoy seeing how others decorate their pages. Whoever wants to enter, has to enter by tomorrow (the 18th). I believe the voting starts on the 20th thru the 25th. I know you're not interested, but just wanted to mention it. Mostly just wanted to put a note on your page.
These summer time holidays are just another day to me. I don't care for them at all, but I always acknowledge them anyway.
Here at the site, Altara asked if I would enter the Fall/Halloween contest. I'm a bit nervous about it. I always vote on these type of contests, but I never actually enter. Over Christmas there was a contest on Christmas pages. I didn't enter, but I voted on which page I liked best. Of course, there are no prizes. I guess it's just an honorary kind of thing, I guess.
Nothing new here - same old, same old things. I am glad that August is over and I say good riddance to it. I have no sentimental feelings for summer and humidity. The only time I ever liked summer is when I was a kid and that was only because we got 3 months off from school. lol. I remember being miserable with the high humidity back then too. And we had no a/c in those days. Back then I spent a lot of time outside doing kid stuff and I remember feeling sticky hot and being itchy from mosquito bites. No fun at all. I usually spent many of the real hot days at the swimming pool. That was the only way to keep cooled off and to keep the mosquitos away. UGH..
I had to wade through a lot of graphics to see the end of your page. lol. You have some nice pumpkins here. I like pumpkins. I think my little mouse would like these pumpkins too. I can picture him hiding behind them :)
I didn't forget :-) What have you been doing these days? We're getting closer to Fall.. August is now half over.. The closer it gets, time will start racing by.. That happens every year.. The summer seems to drag by, then once cooler weather gets here, time seems to race by.. It hasn't cooled down yet, but at least we're getting closer.
