The Good Day All Thread

Good day yall!! Today is day 2 of nanner nut bread making along with other chores like watering the garden boxes and continuing to ready the camper. We are getting excited

 

It was so beautiful out today that I almost left early. But I didn't. Instead I went to work when it was dark And got home when it was dark.

At least it's gonna be cold this weekend.

 

Good Saturday morning all. Currently 9°C and overcast with passing showers. Had a busy couple of days with my little skater, and also out in the yard. Today it is rainy and so there are indoor things that need doing. I also have garden carrots and squash to can, and cabbage to do something with. Also puppy seems to be demanding extra attention this morning. It might be an interesting day haha Have a great day all

 

One of my favorite days of the year--free dump day! The local county dump holds a free day twice a year--accepting almost anything that isn't toxic. We loaded the truck with bits and pieces from the barn and workshop, and I headed out early so I'd be first in line (that didn't work--I swear some of those folks must have camped out overnight). But, since all we had was wood, I got to leave the line and go to the separate wood site and unload. Met a nice gentleman who helped me unload and who wanted some of the wood for his stove. We chatted a bit, then I helped him unload. Around here you take whatever social occasion is offered!

 

The weather took a turn for the worse Friday. It had been in the 60s and 70s. Dropped down to the 30s over the course of a couple hours.

Yesterday we said goodbye to an old friend. William(Preacher Bob) Marrow.

 

CJay, it's always sad to lose a friend, whether through the friend moving away, or passing away. I hope you remember the good times and those memories console you.

 

So sorry for your loss CJay.
Good Monday morning all. Currently -1°C with gale force winds. It has been blowing like this for 36 hours already and I just want the winds to stop!! Weatherman says winds will keep blowing for a while yet. I did some canning yesterday, and today I need to clean house. It's always so messy after the weekend. Have a great day all

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently -3° and still windy, but at least the sun is shining. I'm having a lazy morning.
Lots to do, I just don't want to do any of it! Maybe I will do a little online browsing before the Black Friday sales start.
Have a great day all

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently -9°C and sunny. We had a nice dog walk this morning with no wind!
I am getting increasing flustered with the local contractors today. We were waiting for someone to come hook up our new oil tank "first thing Monday morning". I have left 3 messages and still have not heard back. And yesterday, I waited all day for someone that was supposed to come over to remove the top of our tv tower, and re-adjust our internet dish. They called late in the day to re-schedule, but at least they called! I'm not waiting around for ANYONE today! Off to get ingredients for a birthday cheesecake and pick up a few things. Then I will be home baking and wrapping and planning my day tomorrow which I will spend with my family celebrating a birthday. Have a great day all

 

We had a light rain last night, so everything looks newly washed and rinsed for Thanksgiving! I'm going to be in the kitchen most of the day prepping for the big day tomorrow. My husband just sits at the kitchen island, breathing in the aromas and encouraging me!
I hope everyone in the USA, and others who celebrate Thanksgiving have a great holiday!

 

Good day all. Grey skies and 46° today. Had to work early this morning , and I was freaking out because I was left all by myself to do the donut and bread. I didnt know a darn thing about the donuts. Luckily, I was able to putter around prepping the bread (seasoning, scoring, misting, etc) until a coworker came in to work. Phew. I told my boss to never let them schedule me like that again haha

Now Im home, resting my feet while a pumpkin pie bakes, and we're going up to my sisters house later for dinner.

 

Good morning, afternoon, or evening fellow gardeners. All my beds are now down for a much needed winter rest. I have suffered from SAD a good part of my 60+ years on this spinning top. More so in my latter years. Anyone else have the same problem, and if so, how do you cope with it? I do have my bird feeders that can surely put a smile on my face from the antics of those cute winged critters, but still, it's just not enough. I like to go for walks too, and yet with the many years of heavy manual labor my body does not do well in the cold anymore. I really don't know where I'm going with this. Just thinking out loud I guess. Have a good day all.
