I'd TRY one of those dates, hagatha!

The dates are WICKED! And they're very large dates so two is actually a great snack, or dessert for that matter.

Still no symptoms. Still, it can be up to ten days, I hear.

Yup, 5 to 10 days... You're probably OK, but it has got to be so worrying for you and John.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room.

We're trying out a new special roast tryptich from our favourite Victoria roastery -- it arrived yesterday, and I have to say the first one we've tried is absolutely delicious. It's got some strong cherry notes and maybe some vanilla and dark chocolate. It's a new yearly enterprise, where they select an indigenous roaster to highlght and support. Anyway, absolutely wonderful coffee and I can't wait to try the other two.

We're still fine.

That sounds good hagatha.

same thing.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Snacks and karaoke with friends tonight.

I finally ventured out to get John a prescription. Our pharmacy has a pass-though window, which is handy.

Otherwise, it's sunny and warm and I'll start tackling the green sludge on our decks.

I continued tackling the weeds in the perennial beds. I can only work for an hour or two at a time, so it's slow going, but I'm getting it done! Over half way there now. I have found a young 17 year-old entrepreneur - with a good back! - who is mowing lawns and doing yard work to earn money for college. He is going to lay down mulch for me this year and I'm so excited! I can do a lot yet, but that one is beyond me the last few years. Dave even took our big dump trailer to the nearby town and brought home 3 huge loads of mulch. He will use our big tractor with a bucket to take it around to where ever it's needed.

sports and chores.

Mowing the lawn and grocery shopping on my list today.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Shopping is on the agenda today. Dinner and karaoke at the Eagles tonight.

Good morning everyone

Sumatra dark roast coffee, Scottish Breakfast Tea and bottled Fiji water in the Break Room.

Hagatha, wonderful news that y'all are doing well!! The new "special roast tryptic" coffee sounds wonderful ... do they advertise/market on-line? I'd love to try it

I'm with you Space Quest Fan ... mowing the lawn is on my chore list for the day ... with the rest of my normal Saturday projects and chores

That's most excellent news Drac ... many hands make light work

Have an awesome Saturday everyone

Heading down to the Horse Rescue Ranch for our annual Spring Fling. Should be fun... 30+ mph wind gusts, 83°, 80 - 90 horses spooked by the wind and 700+ people!

Drac ... take care and stay safe

Soot, the roastery is in Victoria. It's called Discovery Coffee. I don't know if they would ship internationally so I've sent them an email. I'll let you know -- they usually get back to me pretty quickly.

sports and chores.

Good Morning everyone. Hope the day finds you all well. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are hot and ready for all you early birds. Spring has sprung here and we have a pair of owls nesting in a hollow of a maple tree right outside our living room window....the babies should be popping there heads out soon.
Father owl sits in a pine tree nearby on guard. There is a squirrel that has tried more then once to climb up to the nesting spot but father owl has swooped over and chased him away. One of these days that squirrel will be his dinner!

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! I'm off to enjoy my morning coffee and watch the sunrise.

Have a great Sunday Boomers.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Breakfast out this morning. Going to the plant nursery this afternoon.

Good Sunday morning everyone

Thanks Hagatha, what was the name of that new roast coffee you liked? That's so cool you have that coffee brewery in your area.

Gerry ... thanks for putting the coffee and tea on today. Little Soot and I enjoy the sunrise every morning ... sometimes having the park all to ourselves. Yes, that little squirrel better mind his p's & q's for sure.

You too Space Quest Fan!

Have fun Connie!

Have a magnificent Sunday everyone

court shows and even perry mason, and chores, starting with perry mason, america court with judge kevin ross, the people court, judge greg mathis, justice with judge mablean ,the verdict with judge hatchett, judge judy. and chore. for tomorrow.

Soot, The roastery is Discovery Coffee. They will deliver to the US. I love their coffee because it's all a light or light-medium, expertly roasted . It's especially good for espresso drinks but I haven't mastered its use in other brewing types like French Press or Aero Press.

So, my back and I survived the massive event at Longmeadow yesterday! The director said 1,000 people, but I don't know if that's correct. In any case, we had way more than the 700 we had in 2019. It was 87° and very windy, so was a bit of a challenge at times. But people were thoroughly enjoying their time with the animals and the tours. We only had one horse, Clueless Too, a Thoroughbred who was freaked out by the wind and all the people. I was hot, tired and dirty from the wind blowing dust everywhere, but a shower and a cold frosty adult beverage fixed that! Great day.

Today I did the mowing. Hubby is out of commission with his back. It takes about 2 1/2 - 3 hours to mow the 3 acres around the house and it's pretty rough because of all the mole activity. But my back is better than his, so it works out. Then I took a long walk down in the wood looking for morel mushrooms. Found a deer trail that I followed down the hill for a long time. I didn't find any morels, but Bella the Bloodhound and I enjoyed our excursion anyway!
