Thanks for the information about St. John's Wort, Ana. There 's a LOT of it in this neighbourhood. People use it as ground cover. I'm sure there's something native that's equally pretty.
Right now, our local district is asking for volunteers to remove the local Scotch Broom plants. As far as invasive plants go, that's about the worst. It's literally everywhere across BC.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Good Morning Connie, soot, Draclvr, hagatha, Fogfighter, Ana and everyone. ![wave wave](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave.gif) Wide Awake Double dark Brew awaits to start your day! My Bill loved to work in the yard and manage the plants and flowers. We have "butterfly" bushes that attract the butterflies. It is still extremely hot and humid here...I hope to walk very early. Wishing you all a Happy Day! ![spring spring](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/spring.gif) Gerry ![catrub catrub](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/catrub.gif)

Good morning everyone. Yet a morning saved by the WADDB. I add a few emergency rations of knäckebröd. Midsummer is approaching. A big thing here in the Nordic countries and around the Baltic Sea. Weather is pleasant again. 20 degrees and mostly sunny. Mr Rain seems to be exhausted after working so hard earlier this month. Happy Thursday GameBoomers ![wave wave](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave.gif)

Good morning Connie, Fogfighter, Gerry, Hagatha, Ana, Draclvr, Mad, OldBroad and visitors. Ah yes Fogfighter, a morning saved by the WADDB and a bagel...wishing you very pleasant midsummer weather. Have fun at CVI tonight Connie. We got our walk in early Gerry...it's a must when our 'feels like temps' are in the triple digits...hope you got your walk in too. Hagatha, one of our largest invasive plant species is kudzu ... I'm always pulling it off our park fence and occasionally tackle the growth smothering trees. I used to see lots of butterflies spring and fall during migration periods, but their numbers have dwindled. Have a wonderful Thursday everyone. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave2.gif)

Good Thursday morning! Another scorcher ahead. The Germans are moving over here today. I have their room ready, but my kitchen floors are a disaster! It just may have to stay that way for a couple of days!
I finally got the weeds pulled in my 50 pepper plants. After hubby watered for 2 days, they took off and I couldn't even SEE my little plants. So I got my little garden kneeler bench to sit on and my little hatchet tool and went to work yesterday. I could only work about an hour at a time because it was so hot, but I got it done. Hubby hauled off almost a full wheelbarrow of weeds. My knees and back were singing to me, but I got a cold beer and jumped into the pool! After a shower, I felt much better.
So today, the floors will just have to stay yucky! I vacuumed up all the nightly cat hair, but that's it for the day!
Once again, weeds are my life!

Good morning Gerry, Fogfighter, Connie, Draclvr, Hagatha and everyone. Yes indeed, it's Friday and the weekend is just around the corner! The coffee is marvelous and can't wait for a bagel or two. Grocery shopping is on my list for today and then other chores and projects to keep me engaged until it's time to clock out for the day. Yes indeed Gerry, everyone stay cool and have a wonderful Friday. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave2.gif)

Good morning Gerry, Dan, Connie, Draclvr, Hagatha and everyone. Instant coffee and knäckebröd available for emergency use. Looks like it's going to be a sunny day again over here. People will not do much shopping today. Because holiday and many shops closed. Happy Saturday Gameboomers. ![wave wave](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave.gif)

Good morning Gerry, Fogfighter, Connie, Draclvr, Hagatha and everyone. Gerry, you and Fogfighter have all of us covered for our morning caffeine intake...a very comforting ritual which awakens our senses and signals the start of the new day. Enjoy your sunny holiday Fogfighter. Chores and projects on my to-do list before I get to relax, listen to music and color. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave2.gif)

Good morning everyone.
After yesterday's glorious sun and heat, we're in a complete cloud-over. I went out for dinner with a friend last night, which wat was a nice change. I think today will be a gaming day, after a quick cleanup of the house. If I have the energy I'll spend an hour putting papers I no longer need into plastic file boxes and stow them in the crawl space.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Good Saturday morning! Forecast is 93, 95, 99, 96, 93, 90, 95..... you get the picture!
The Germans moved over here on Thursday. I made pancakes with eggs and bacon this morning. They love my strawberry syrup! Guenter is out on the pool deck power washing the railings and the deck floor. Hubby's back is better, but still not up to much work. And I've been working on what else??? Weeds! And I finally got that kitchen floor done - I had a leaking hummingbird feeder and it was sticky with sugar water, so had no choice.
My brother sent me pictures of all the flooding up in NW Iowa and SE South Dakota. The Big Sioux River is out of it's banks and people have lost homes and vehicles. A train derailed near my home town. Many people have flooding basements they can't keep up with. I think they had another 4" of rain overnight. The famous falls on the Sioux River in Sioux Falls, South Dakota are epic - my cousin posted drone footage. So much crop field damage too.
Once again, weeds are my life!

Hagatha, good to hear that you and the kitties are settling well into your new home and life, and good to see that Drac the human dynamo continues to put us all to shame despite creaking joints!
My grandson is about to take on the Grand to Grand, 275 kilometers of punishing terrain, and just reading about it makes me feel tired but he is a very fit 29 year old posting videos of scaling Half Dome...
Life is what happens while you're making other plans.

Good Sunday morning Gerry, Fogfighter, Connie, Lex, Draclvr, Hagatha and everyone. 275 KM ... wow Lex, now that's a hike and will be a scenic journey for the memory books. I still remember my visit to the Grand Canyon...breathtaking & awe inspiring! Yes Draclvr, flooding is a powerful force of nature. Stay cool Connie and stay out of the triple digit heat! Gerry I do hope you don't get any more severe storms...and the weather cools enough for you to get in a walk...if not then 'gaming' is a great alternative. Fogfighter, thanks for the instant coffee and knäckebröd...most excellent refreshments before Wide Awake Double Dark Brew and Bagels made their entrance! Draclvr, hope you get some downtime to rest and recharge your batteries. Hagatha, did you still have energy to store papers? I have a couple of more tasks to take care of this morning and then I'm taking the rest of the day off to relax, color, draw and listen to my whale music ![wink wink](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif) Have a wonderful Sunday everyone...stay safe and stay cool. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave2.gif)

Good morning.
Having woken up very early -- yes, it IS the sprinkler system making the noise I've been hearing and it must have woken me up this morning -- I've been doing a bit of a closet cleanout in my office and the cupboard is looking very organized.
It's pretty warm here, too, though still in the pleasant range. I had my windows open for the first time yesterday to let in the breeze and cool the place down.
Nothing much on the agenda for today -- some outdoor sweeping and I have to wash my car.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Good Sunday morning! And like Connie, we just continue with the blistering temps.
The flooding in NW Iowa and SE South Dakota has been on the national news. So much property damage with people losing homes and vehicles and crops. My sister said a baby had drowned and 8 people were missing. My brother said he had 11 inches in 72 hours. The rivers up there are different from what we have in Missouri. They are meandering affairs that just cut through the 20' of rich topsoil and just cannot handle this amount of rain.
Once again, weeds are my life!

Good Morning Fogfighter, Connie, soot, hagatha, Draclvr and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark is ready to start your Monday! ![wave wave](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave.gif) I lost power last night...a severe thunderstorm rolled thru dropping over an inch of rain again in less then an hour!
