The Good Day All Thread

Good morning all! Interesting sports day here in Ireland as we take on Argentina in the Rugby World Cup. I don't know if you are interested in rugby but I think should put up a good fight. At least we haven't met New Zealand yet, now they're a great team
Weather has stayed nice all week. Today is a little cloudy and it has got very nippy. Definitely have to wrap up when you go outside now.
Have a great Sunday all!

 

Morning all. Starting out at 64F/17C this morning....feels so good outside, nippy and breezy but still dry as a bone. Just realized that my peanut supply has run out, the Blue Jays are squawking loudly and the squirrel will be chittering at me soon. I'm a terrible mother. But I am back to feeding the cats that wander through my back garden, trying to keep them from feasting on the birds out front. To see them scratching at the ground to get birdseed it makes me sad....and angry at their callous owners who just turn them out when they are no longer cute kittens.

 

Good morning all! Looks like all the time in the chilly field last week has landed me with a cold so I'll definitely be trying a hot whiskey with honey soon

Have a top start to your week all!

 

Good morning all. Wonderfully chilly here but also not so wonderfully dry. The humidity is on the rise so there is some moisture in the air and that should help firefighters in the effort to put out the multitudes of wildfires happening in the state. Some computer weather models are predicting up to 5 inches of rain for my area from Friday through Saturday. The soil is so concrete dry there will be a lot of runoff and flooding if we get that much too quickly and nothing will be helped by that.

 

Good morning all. The humidity level for the past week or so has been desert dry, hovering around 15%.....today it has jumped to 81%. What that means is there is a better chance that the rain forecast for us this week will actually happen, now it's just a matter of if and how much my garden will get. Usually our moisture comes up from the Gulf of Mexico but this time it is coming from the Gulf of California (which is between the Baja California Peninsula and Mexico) and is supposed to be good thing as it increases our chances and amount of rain.

Not only am I feeding the stray cats in the backyard, as usual I have started naming them. Sparkles is a beautiful Calico Cat whose eyes appear to sparkle when she looks at you.....she is very pregnant. There is another solid black one, probably a 'next litter' sibling to our Spooky, that I have started calling Velvet. A young black and white ? that is still very skittish....hence the name Skitter. And a huge tom that will for now, from a distance, be known as Mister.

 

Good day all. Overcast all day, a little coolish and very humid. I have been cleaning out my craft closet, not much is going away afterall I paid a pretty penny for all of that good stuff. But it is easier to find now. Some reason I would much rather organize my goodies than actually do anything with them.
But I have been listening to CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival), BeeGees, Tom Jones and who knows what oldies will strike my fancy next.

 

Good morning all! The weather has turned slightly gloomy / overcast, perfect coming up to Hallowe'en I suppose Almost over my cold now so hopefully I'll be back to full energy mode soon.

The web host was performing some routine maintenance yesterday so that explains the short downtime I didn't start a thread about it beforehand as my web host told me it would be a very short period.

Have a top Friday all!

 

GOOOD Morning ALL!!!! After 43 days of hot and dry, we have rain. It started last evening about 5:15 and has been off and on since then. The official rain gauge is no longer a virgin, this morning when I took the measurement for CoCoRaHS there was 1.80 inches in it. Started coming down pretty heavy again a few minutes ago. And lots of thunder and lightning so the plants are really enjoying the shots of extra nitrogen.....they might all start looking pretty again.
