My baby of 16 years has tumors that are cancer and has to be euthanized and my heart is broken! When I first got her she was so small she'd fit in the palm of my hand. My kids kept calling her Little Bit because they couldn't agree on a name so she got stuck with it. I'm not sure what day it'll be done but know I'm not going to be able to take her so I'll just say my good bye's before then.
Just collected eggs after our Rosa's Tacos meal. Earlier this morning the orchids got their cube of ice for the week. Hummingbirds got fresh food in the feeder.
Halloween nails got put on. Showered & washed hair (should have colored it). Filled up car with gas. Lottery tickets bought. A load of clothes got washed.
So now it is time to chill and read my Kindle app because it is very near 100° and too hot to sit even on the covered patio today. Wednesday Hubby has an appointment with a vision eye doctor and Thursday he has an appointment with a glaucoma eye doctor (hence car filled with gas). Now, orange you glad I'm done.
Got the refund for my Au pkg but dont know when i will be able to try resending. local PO doesnt know a thing. Au pal sent me article saying Au can send stuff out but US is the one not sending to Au. Is indefinite till their covid is better there!
Got A cereal container, new cutting board and walnut oil for it, 11 inch granitestone skillet and seasoned it per instructions, and a bread holder for my Rhodes home baked bread, the loaf is too high and wide for my regular bread keeper.
Wednesday, when Judy is here, will have her help me clear back porch of all the garden stuff atop the dog house and store in containers in spare BR till next summer..fertilizer, insect sprays, etc.
Did get into the 90s this afternoon so had to shut up the house and turn on AC to get humidity out and cool things down!
Son in Va called and chatted about an hour, He just had electric fence installed for 2 German Shepherd dogs and now they can be put out and not worry about their safety. Says they already know where they can go and where they can't.../smart dogs!
Guess what we are doing this week... collecting eggs! We are getting 6 fresh eggs a day. Our friends came over yesterday for a visit and I gave them all the eggs we had, which was between 2 and 3 dozen (all fresh).
So today, we are patiently waiting for the six hens to take turns on the nest. There are several nests in the coop but they all lay their eggs in one nest. So when you open the top, all six, 3 white (Leghorns) and 3 brown (Rhode Island Reds) are all right there together.
Isn't that strange? Soon they will be able to hatch chickens because they have one rooster added to the mix now. They lost two young chickens (out of three) they had in a different pen. So they traded the last young one for a rooster because the older hens would pick and peck on the younger one.
Guess I had better go figure out what to do for our meal of the day. Bills are already paid, grass has been mowed, and I am getting hungry. So share your smile and know that I am sending Blessings and Hugs your way everyday.
Kisses are the best way to wake up. Woo Hoo! We made it to the weekend. College Football day is my favorite day.
I sure hope you are getting out and having fun this weekend. Our temperatures may reach 90° again today, but it is so wonderful early in the mornings to be in the upper 50's.
Hubby is outside washing the Orange Tahoe. I think I will take the dogs for a walk. Now, if you believe that about me, I do have some Ocean Front property in Arizona for you.
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today. Don't forget to share that beautiful smile of yours with everyone you see.
I thought I would start today with words of wisdom or a wisecrack, however you look at it. Now that we are off to a great start for Thursday, where did the week go?
Yesterday, we made it to Costco, Wednesday enchiladas lunch, post office, and Walmart for over $200 of WHAT? I don't know. Got a load of laundry done, dishwasher run, and Chicken & Biscuit Dumplings made (and some eaten).
Take a deep breath because that is a FULL day for me. Hubby has already watered the front again today. Today is probably the last day for these beautiful cool temperatures for us for a while, but it has been two wonderful days.
Now I am off to finish reading comments and replies. Then if I don't get a shower, that giraffe might just fall over in a dead faint. Glad smell-a-vision isn't real or you might just pass out too! Thanks just for being my friend and telling me all about your day too.
Sending my best wishes on First Day of Autumn, as we all get ready for this amazing season when leaves turn in their most beautiful colours in their last days...mk
Amazing how Monday just shows up on a regular basis. I have successfully ignored the morning. Well, I have made some calls and paid some bills and looked at several websites (shopping, Not shopping) and now it is afternoon.
Hubby got the front watered this morning. We were about 100° yesterday and will be again today... but tomorrow our high will be 82° with lows in the mid 50's. Yippee Yahoo.
Even though we have almost no chance of rain, we will keep watering and say, "Thank You Lord for the blessings of cooler temperatures." I know the hummingbirds are migrating through South Texas. My friends there sent videos of 10 or more hummers at their feeder at one time. It was so hot here that I just took a video of my hummingbird sitting near and protecting the feeders.
So guess I had better go find something for lunch. Something else that is amazing is how often my tummy growls to indicate that it is time to eat again... every day.
forecast is for rain and gusty wind late afternoon into evening,,we could use the rain.
Judy took grocery list and will bring to me on Wednesday. prices rising fast,,sunflower seed was $18 on sale but now is $25 on sale! Judy says she heard stores were experiencing pork shortages,,her girl that manages Conagra store said they were having trouble getting sausage.
Saw the Emmy Awards on tv last night,,none were wearing masks but Los Angeles requires school kids to wear them! talk abut a double standard!
Thursday I was busy cleaning out all the water features for the birds and giving the hummingbirds new food. We are still quite warm during the day (start day in low 70's) and plants are still needing water every other day.
Hopefully we say goodbye to Summer Fairy and hello to cooler temperatures during the day and early morning too. Let's try it, Hello Fall Fairy!
Right now, the only leaves falling are because the trees need a good soaking of rain. But at 15% chance next week, that isn't too promising. Then came..
As soon as I told Hubby that I needed a shower, my phone rang and it was Tisha. She was running late dropping off her 1st grader and told him to hurry. He tripped over the curb and did a faceplant.
He did not want to go to school. Besides, he would definitely have trouble seeing.
As you can tell by his glasses. They got new glasses ordered and she kept putting ointment on his cheek. By the end of the day I could hear him laughing at something on the iPad. When I got home, Bennett and his family came to the backyard for a visit.
So now here I am wishing you a blessed weekend as I am heading off to watch more football after Thursday night & Friday nights exciting games.
OK... so it isn't the football fairy... close though, right?
HI THERE DEBIJO, SORRY NOT TO HAVE BEEN ON HERE VERY OFTEN, SO MANY THINGS GOING ON AROUND HERE, I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL AND THAT YOU ARE NOT WORKING TOO HARD WITH LONG HOURS. ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE YOUA RE SO BUSY WITH LONG HOURS AND SHORTAGE OF STAFF. THAT IS A PROBLEM UP HERE ALSO. GOVT PAYS THEM AND THEN THEY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK BUT THAT IS ENDING AND SOON THEY WILL ALL BE LOOKING FOR A JOB. PROBABLY THE SAME DOWN YOUR WAY.
SO GLAD YOU GOT A GREAT RATING AND YOU SURELY DESERVE IT DEB. SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
WEATHER HERE HAS FINLLY GIVEN US SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN AND IT IS THE FIRST RAIN SINCE JANUARY THAT AMOUNTED TO ANYTHING. WE COULD HAVE USED IT DURING JULY WHEN IT WAS SO HOT AND I NEARLY PERISHED. LOL HAVE MY A/C NOW SO IT WILL BE GOOD NEXT SUMMER. TIME GOES SO FAST I GET LOST ON WHAT DAY IT IS.
THE ONLY NEWS I HAVE DEB IS THAT MY SON AND GIRLFRIEND HAVE MOVED TO MEXICO INDEFINATELY . I AM MISSING HIM SO AND TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE WHOLE THING. NOT BEING VACCINATED THEY DIDN'T LIKE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO UP HERE , NO FREEDOM SO THEY SAY, WELL, IT WOULD BE A LOONG TIME COMING IF I HAD TO GIVE UP MY COUNTRY AND MOVE TO MEXICO. I WAS SICK AT HEART AT FIRST BUT NOW TRYING TO COME TO THE FACT THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT. THEY ARE BOTH IN THEIR 60;S SO NOTHING I CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT. TODAY IS 1ST DAY ON THE HILL IN SOME DAYS, OWE SO MANY COMMENTS , JUST HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS.
SORRY THIS IS IT FOR NOW DEB, THINK OF YOU OFTEN AND SO SORRY FOR NOT BEING IN TOUCH. OFF TO SEE MY FRIENDS FOR A CUPPA THS MORNING AND DO A BIT OF SHOPPING. HAS BEEN RAINING EARLY THIS MORNING BUT SUN S NOW OUT AND LOOKS LOVELY. TAKE CARE DEBIJO, WILL BE IN TOUCH WHEN I CAN. ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND HOPE YOU SOON GET SOME MORE DAYS OFF , YOU SURELY DO DESREVE THEM
MUCH LOVE, AND HUGS, MOE XXX THANKS FOR THAT MOUSE GRAPHIC LAST WEEK. LOVE IT. M
At least I hope it has for you. It starts out a little bit cooler each morning but we are still in the 90's almost every day. In the sun it is not sweater weather but sweaty weather!
And I know Hubby is sweating in the early morning heat. I love that he is always looking for something to do. He got the Marten house cleaned out the other day just in case any birds want a place to nest.
Hey now, I was busy yesterday too. Football nails are now on! And I have Halloween nails and Election nails and then it will be Christmas nails. I do love ColorStreet nails. They are so easy to put on and take off! Thanks to my friends, JoyDoll (NOTH) and Ashlee.
So as I send lots of Blessings your way and remind you to share your smile, I am off to find something wonderful for our meal of the day (then we snack later). I took pork chops, ribeyes, and hamburger patties out of the freezer to thaw. So today might be something with Fried Rice and Spring Rolls.
I will probably see what action is happening in the backyard too and make sure Hubby hasn't melted yet.
Well, here it is already Monday afternoon, but the yard has been mowed by me and Hubby has trimmed a tree, cut up the branches, cleaned out the Martin house, put up new fly catchers, and I'm sure several other things.
Hubby just went to run through the shower and told me that I needed to do that too... like maybe he could smell me. We have beautiful dark clouds today. We might get a sprinkle for tropical storm Nicholas but we are on the dry side. However, friends and family from the border (Mission) to Corpus Christi to Houston are predicted to get 6-12" of rain. The winds are only 70 mph now and are not expected to be much more than that.
Guess I had better find my water and figure out what our meal of the day will be today. Can't wait to see what your weekend was like and what plans you have for this middle of the month already. Time seems to fly by faster and faster the older we get. Don't forget to share your smile because there are lots of people out there looking for it.
Deb, most of us get here when we can. Just glad we are friends and can catch up from time to time.
