The Good Day All Thread

Good Monday evening! It was a cloudy day here in Wisconsin. The weather report called for rain/snow but it all went well north of us. It was in the upper 30's when we went out and rode the bus around. We go ride the various buses to see where they go. They mostly all do a circuit that includes the downtown transit station so we can ride around and then transfer back to the bus that brings us home. We rode bus # seven today. It isn't supposed to go downtown. But, it's springbreak and it didn't have to haul kids around on a schedule to the driver decided to detour through downtown. We did not go to Blimpies for a sandwich for lunch today. We did that two days last week. We came home and stopped at the convenience store for a paper and bought a sandwich and came home and ate it. I watched a little tv while I was eating my sandwich but had to finish the sandwich after my nap in the chair. The tv was still on when I woke up. I don't think I missed much. Oh, well! We haven't had tv in years but it came with the internet service and our son loaned us a small tv. I know why we didn't have one for so long. Not much of anything interesting on it. I suppose I could have watched the Badger game on it tonight. That's a big deal here in Wisconsin. I hope they win, just because this is the badger state.
Need to do some sewing tomorrow. I want to make some more reusable shopping bags. I was going to do it today but we spent too much time riding the bus. I think we need to go get Wisconsin state ID cards tomorrow. Maybe Wendy is coming to take us to the DMV. I should have gotten my haircut first so people would recognize me. Well, you all have a good evening now or a good night since the evening is about gone.

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 2°C and overcast. A busy day ahead, of cleaning and laundry, and hoping to get a bit of work done outside too. I was out chasing the Kildeer out of my garden ... I do NOT want them building a nest in there! Off to start my day, have a great day everyone

 

Netty, my Kildeer is back at her favorite spot, the middle of the driveway! And someone built a nest in one of my hanging plants. Why don't they just take up residence in one of the empty birdhouses?

Looks like another nice day here, some clouds but no rain and temps in the low 80s.

 

Cheryl, killdeer are ground nesters, so get used to having nests in your flower beds!
I hilled up the potatoes and planted the last of the tomatoes today.
The croton are in the big pots in the front bed, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the excess Mexican tarragon. I didn't think all those seeds would germinate, but I was wrong. Ah, well, Mother Nature giveth and taketh away. I'll try to convince neighbors that they can't live without Mexican tarragon!

 

We now have paper ID's for Wisconsin. Mine is a driver's license since that's the kind I had in Texas. dr has a picture ID since he doesn't drive anymore. Permanent ones will arrive in the mail in about 10 days. So one more thing done. We got registered at the local bank here and will be getting new debit cards in a week to 10 days. Seems everything takes a week to 10 days. Well, we aren't planning on going anywhere before then so it's okay with us. No rain or snow here today. Hope it stays north of us. May go do some stuff tomorrow. Will go shopping on Thursday with Wendy. She has the day off and is going to do her shopping at that time. Guess nothing else is new. Have a good evening.

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently 2°C and overcast with strong south east winds. It is odd to have the wind blowing this direction, and it usually brings 3 days of lousy weather. It looks like I won't be working out in the gardens today as there is a freezing rain warning out. Not sure exactly what I will be up to today ... I will have a coffee and decide. Have a great day all

 

Happy Wednesday morning. Temps will be in the mid 80s today and rain chances increasing. Looks like it will be another rainy weekend too. Crap! I'm never gonna get that blackberry area cleaned out at this rate. Just as it dries up enough to get out there, here comes the rain again. At least I was able to mow around it. I think my cousin will be able to mow the pasture today too. He plowed up the garden area yesterday. Now that he's retired, I guess he'll be planting stuff here and at his house. As long as I can reap the benefits, doesn't bother me a bit!

 

Happy Wednesday everyone. It is raining here today so I won't get to garden.I'm hoping everyone has a great day rain or shine.

 

No rain here today but it did rain during last night and it says rain tonight and tomorrow. Temps in 40's today. We only went on the bus to WalMart today. We filled the two shopping bags we took. I want to sew a couple more but not tonight. Grocery shopping tomorrow. I may want to buy a new crossword book if I see one in the grocery store. We do try to get out every day since we live in an apartment now so no gardening or outdoor chores. We have a ride tomorrow so may go more places. I do like living in Wisconsin. It's not Texas where it was 80's today but it was not freezing cold.

Good Thursday morning all. Currently 2°C and raining. A special weather statement has been released calling for heavy rains this afternoon. I do hope that I am back from my shopping and errands before it starts! Have a great day all

 

Happy Thursday morning. Slight chance of rain today, but the chances really go up to 80% overnight and tomorrow. And stays rainy through Monday. I started on the mowing yesterday and hope to finish it this evening when I get home.

 

Morning all! 63° and thunderstorms most of the day. Supposed to be partly sunny tomorrow and sunny Saturday for my birthday! Gonna be the Big 3-0! :O
