Good morning everyone.

Draclvr, thanks for the information on Rhodos. I think the cold snap might have been the issue. This particular Rhodo also sulked all summer, so I suspect it's less tolerant of extreme temperature changes. All of the other Rhodos in the garden are very happy.

Doing not much of anything today. I just had a long chat with my mother, who is starting to sound her age all of a sudden. She's got Home Care people looking in on her every day now, so we don't need to worry so much.

Good Morning Connie, soot, Draclvr, Fogfighter, hagatha and everyone! Wide Awake double dark brew is ready...so glad you all enjoy it too!

I just realized daylight savings time is almost here...less then 2 weeks and we change the clocks..."spring ahead". It is always a difficult adjustment for me. I wish we didn't have to change the clocks.

We are going to have mild temperatures this week so hopefully the snow starts to melt...Spring is almost here...at least on the calendar!

Have a stress free day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning! I don't have any problems with the time changes, but I still absolutely hate it! They keep talking about getting rid of it, but nothing ever happens.

I also really don't like this weather we have coming up... mid-70's and then tomorrow in the 80's. It's just unnatural - it's still February! I've been reading in my Farmer's Almanac that this could be a brutal summer.

The British Columbia government has been promising us that the time changes will end, but we're still waiting. I hate it, too. It throws off my sleep for weeks. At least the early morning tragic opera singing outside my bedroom door will be at 6:30 instead of 7:30, for a few weeks, anyway.

It's a glorious but very cold morning and yesterday afternoon we had hail. Only one problem with all that sunshine; it shows how very dirty my windows are! When it warms up again I'd better wash them. This is the first house I've ever owned that has windows I can reach all around.

My windows are on my list this year too. They haven't been done for at least 3 years and are awful. I only do the downstairs windows as I'm NOT getting on any ladders any more! I have lots of windows, so I use my power washer set on low to spray a cleaning solution and rinse; then I wipe them down to dry and hope there aren't any streaks!

Oh my goodness where did the day go? Time sure flies when you're busy ...

Wow, speaking of time, I can't believe it's time to spring ahead already...I agree Draclvr, I wish they would drop it and/or just keep one time setting all year. Seems to me folks got along just fine before we started changing the time twice a year...too many special interest groups lining pockets I guess Gerry and Connie, I've been enjoying your brew and bagels all day! Best wishes with your windows Drac & Hagatha ... I'll get to mine this spring. Wishing everyone a wonderful Monday...take care!

It was snowing earlier on. That's after days after day of very warm weather. It's a good evening to curl up in front of the fire with a cat and a good book.

Good Morning Connie, Draclvr, hagatha, soot and everyone. Special double dark brew Wide Awake is ready to enjoy. Another sunny day ahead...great for a nice long walk.

Hope you all have a super Tuesday!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I don't like the time change either, it throws me off for days. I also have to many clocks to change. Bowling at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone. The special double dark brew wide awake coffee is wonderful Gerry. Connie, enjoy bowling tonight, in the mean time I will enjoy some asiago bagels today. Snow, a warm fire, cat and good book sound like the perfect combo Hagatha. Tootin Toosday to you all ... enjoy the day!

Same here in Europe. Already B.C. (before corona) we were promised an end to this abomination but it's still here. One side the powers in charge can credibly claim to have been busy with more pressing matters.. on the other hand they are missing an opportunity to improve our lives with only minimal efforts.


Anyway.. thanks for the coffee and happy Tuesday everyone

Popping in to say Good Morning since I'm actually up pretty early today. I don't even bother changing my clocks anymore. I just have to adjust how I look at them. I don't do much of anything that relies on what time it is anyway and my computer is always on with the correct time and date. I have a harder trouble with what day it is but that shows on my computer too.

Have a good day all!

Good morning everyone.

We're back into winter this week! It's supposed to snow today. Not enough to shovel, and it will probably melt by tomorrow.

The problem with the cancellation of time changes is that every country is waiting for every other country to do it. It feels like it will never happen.

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day Connie, soot, Fogfighter, oldbroad, Draclvr! Extra dark Wide Awake brew is ready. We are having a stormy, rainy day today...temp right now is 50 degrees, but will drop as the day goes on and the cold front moves in. High winds may cause power outages here too. it will be a good day to puzzle and some gaming.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Today is the 10th Anniversary of the day I lost the Love of my life, also his Birthday. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Thinking about you, Connie

Good morning everyone. Enjoying Gerry's coffee and Connie's bagels this Wednesday. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers today Connie knowing your memories are now treasures. Take care everyone and have a wonderful Hump Day.

I woke up this morning to howling winds and driving rain -- so much for that snow! Dude went racing off out, only to come back soaked to the skin and outraged at the weather. He's stomping around complaining right now.

Connie, I'm told that as time goes on the memories become sweeter. I hope that's true, for you and for me.

Good morning! Howling winds and temps dropping over 60 degrees overnight to well below freezing. Yesterday we had 85 degrees and a little further south it hit 90. WAY too hot. We are sending our cold out to you, Gerry! So glad my ancient old barn kitty is inside now with this weather...

Peace to you today, Connie.

Happy Hump Day!

Good morning all.

We had that weather yesterday. Upper 60's, storms, and today low 20's.

Hugs to you Connie. I had a dream last night about one of my deceased brothers, but (as usual) I can't really remember what it was about. I really enjoy seeing my departed loved ones in my dreams.

Have a good day all.

Good Morning Connie, Mad, soot, hagatha, Draclvr, oldbroad and everyone. Welcome to Leap Year day. The double dark Wide Awake brew is ready.

Connie it has been almost 5 months since I lost my Bill, the love of my life...you are in my thoughts and prayers as are you hagatha...I hope you are right about memories becoming sweeter hagatha.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Thank You for all the kind thoughts and prayers. Today I will go and listen to a friend and her group sing at a nursing home. I can't explain what it's like to watch the faces of the residents and see recognition of the songs being sung, it's so Beautiful. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie, Gerry, Draclvr, Hagatha, OldBroad and everyone else who gets the chance to pop in for a visit. Thank you for the coffee and bagels Gerry and Connie...my daily morning treat here in the Break Room. We had the warmer weather too yesterday and then temps dropped last night and today...anticipating rain tomorrow and next week which is good as we can use it. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I've finally received the last of the tax documents I need so I have to knuckle down and spend a couple of hours on my tax return. Last year it was an awful scramble and I'm trying to avoid that this year.
