Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I should work in the greenhouse today, we shall see. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie, enjoy your greenhouse time today...a greenhouse always hums so bright with life. I'm ready for an asiago bagel this morning.

Have a wonderful day!

Good Thursday morning! A little thunder earlier with a spot shower, but looks like a beautiful day ahead. Going to linger over my DDWAB this morning, Gerry, before I head out for the last day of weeding. These gentle showers have made the tomato garden look beautiful. Had to replace a few - mostly caused by both Bella the Bloodhound and the neighbor's dogs walking through with their big feet! We will get them strawed down and the big cages put up this weekend.

Will have to start getting my house in order after I'm done with the weeds as I finally have schedules for summer visitors. The Germans will arrive on June 12 and my son and his family will arrive on June 13. My granddaughter who lives here is having her graduation party on June 15, so we should have a merry crew! The Germans will have to stay with other family until my son heads back to Colorado.

I'm always so excited to see everyone, but equally glad when everyone goes back home!

Good Morning Fogfighter, Connie, soot, hagatha, Draclvr and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Fogfighter will miss you in the break room. My goodness Draclvr where do you get all your energy! So many visiters and gardens, and birds to attend to! I get tired just thinking about all the work involved!

Hope you all enjoy your Friday!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Karaoke at Hacienda with friends tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

T.G.I.F. good morning everyone

The coffee is marvelous Gerry and along with Connie's asiago bagels ... well let's just say I am set for the morning! Best wishes for house visitors prep Draclvr ... the visit will be fast and furious and as you note wonderful when everyone heads home.

Have a wonderful Friday.

Good morning all. I woke up to pouring rain so coffee is especially welcome.

There's nothing too exciting going on around here. The otter ((it was an otter, not a mink) hasn't shown up again, although a couple of my neighbours have seen it down in the park near the water.

I'm off to Pilates and then over to the local farm market for a few things.

Good Friday morning. Gerry, my life is always interesting! I always look forward to the winter months when I can just sit in front of my computer and game and read! I think because I grew up on a family farm in NW Iowa in the 1940's and 1950's with a mom who grew and canned most of our food, baked bread every week, sewed most of our clothes and helped my dad with the farm, it rubbed off on me! My sister is the same way.

I have about 20 minutes of weeding in a short stone walkway and then I'm done! After this, it will just be a few minutes a day to keep up. Everything just looks beautiful right now. Anxious to get the pool open. Hubby is going to need help from my son who lives nearby this year. His back is much better, but still not up to a lot of kneeling and getting up and down.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Shopping for last minute items for the BBQ tomorrow is on the agenda today. Fish Fry and karaoke at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Saturday morning to you all! I hope you each have a good day and weekend!

Yes indeed OldBroad the weekend is here and wishing you and everyone a wonderful time. I've brought Hawaiian Kona coffee to tide us over until Gerry pops in with her wide awake brew. I'm up for some Danish today Connie...stay safe shopping for tomorrow's BBQ. You are spot on Draclvr, once you complete the heavy weeding task then a few minutes each day following is all that's needed.

Wishing you all a marvelous Memorial Day weekend!

Good Morning all and welcome to Sunday! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew awaits!

Draclvr sounds like you had a wonderful life growing up on a farm and have put what you learned to to good use!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. BBQ with family and friends today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Sunday morning! It started to thunder about 4:30 and then it rained for a couple of hours. Dreadful weather with more tornados in SW Missouri and down into Arkansas. Several state parks were hit with campers blown over, trees down and power lines everywhere. And because of the Memorial Day weekend the parks are full. Haven't heard of any injuries or deaths yet. Our friends who camp were down that way, but came home Friday.

We got the 96 tomatoes strawed down and the big cages up around them yesterday. So, now it's time for them to just grow and make tomatoes for me!

Heading in town this afternoon for a fish fry at step-son's. Our granddaughter is on leave from the Army and her husband just came back from his deployment to Poland, so they will both be there. I'm bringing a cole slaw and the last of the fresh asparagus.

Mother Nature seems to be especially cross this year. I've been reading about the storm and hoping nobody got seriously injured. That must be terrifying if you're camping.

Here we're just getting the usual damp days. My garden is full of bird song, and I've seen more than a few goldfinches bathing in the little stream of my water feature.

Good morning all! I'm up a little early. Drac's storms are heading this way and making me edgy. Hopefully, it will not be too bad! Ready for my coffee and a bit of browsing. Later!

Good Sunday morning everyone. You are spot on Hagatha, bad storms with high winds are very alarming when camping...have had a few in my camping days. In fact, one time we left the camp site and I took the family home. I came back the next day to break camp, dry equipment and pack all up. Hi OldBroad ... it's good to see you; I hope the storms are not bad and just wet. Totally enjoying the coffee and bagels Gerry and Connie. Have a good BBQ Connie. We'll grill out tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Good Morning Connie, Draclvr, hagatha, oldbroad, soot, Fogfighter and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark brew is ready.

I got an early start this morning...restless sleep last night. A rainy day ahead...hope to walk early before it starts.

Hope you all have a peaceful, enjoyable day.

Gerry

Happy Memorial Day everyone. Gerry, the coffee is marvelous and I hope you get your walk in before the storms ... we've got storms headed our way too. Hope to grill burgers later this afternoon 'after' the weather clears for us...we shall see. Take care everyone.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. The birds seem to have abandoned our area. It's been years since I've seen Red Winged Blackbirds, Goldfinches, even Doves. I'm pretty sure it's because they have developed so much of the land. I miss having my coffee by the pond listening to the waterfall and birds singing their songs. The BBQ was a big success even though it was hot as Hades. We had multiple fans going on the porch and in the yard. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning and thanx for DDWAB & DDB

Over here Mr Rain decided to make sure his presence was noticed. Not bad after several sunny and dry days. The plants will benefit and the grass remain green. Mr Broccoli approves.



Happy new week Gameboomers.

It's Memorial Day here in the US. We will be going to a short service honoring our fallen service members at our American Legion Post later this morning. The Auxiliary is serving pork steak and chicken dinners after and I'm sure we will have a few beers this afternoon. So, please take a minute to remember service members who have passed.

Such terrible storms all around us again yesterday and last night. I read 14 were killed in Kentucky. I pulled my truck into the garage just in case, but we just got rain. But it sunny and quite a bit cooler this morning... a beautiful day so far.

We didn't get too much rain or thunder yesterday, thankfully. Right now it is quite cloudy and nice and cool.

I wouldn't know what kind of birds I was looking at if I ever saw any different one. Mostly we just have Crows, Sparrows, Robins and a Cardinal here and there. We used to see some Blue Jays once in awhile but that was long ago.

My brother said that a cicada almost fell on him today and that there are some shells stuck on our garage, so I guess they are still emerging here. I haven't yet heard any, again, thankfully!

Whatever you are doing to observe Memorial Day, enjoy!

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake double dark brew is almost ready.

No rain expected here today just a cloudy day. Plan on an early morning walk to avoid the humidity and those pesky "gnats"!

Enjoy your day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.
