The Good Day All Thread

Good morning all. More almost 100 degree days for us this week. Not so unusual for them in Sept, but I am totally finished with the heat and drought of summer, I just can't get that point across to Mother Nature! 65 days of basically no rain in my garden.

We left town over the weekend, had to get away from the construction now that the driveway and street are usable and away from the memories of Spooky for a while. I spent most of the time watching HGTV and making plans for totally re-making my front and back gardens this fall and next Spring. Now we just have to actually HAVE some fall weather to get me started.

 

Cheryl, should that be Congratulations or Commiserations?

 

Good afternoon all! Our weather turned bit chilly today even though the sun is shining. Given that it's the first day of Autumn it is perfect timing.

I'm sure it will go very well @Netty !

Have a top Tuesday all

 

Good morning all! Sorry to hear your garden tour was called off Netty.
Hate to say it but I have started to see the first rumblings of Xmas promotions appearing on the TV. One promotional piece last week was asking to book your Santa places already It's a good thing we are having an election coming up in the next few months as that may dilute it a small bit
Have a wonderful Wednesday all!

 

Good morning all. Just another day of hot and dry here and at least two more weeks of upper 90's.

So I am in the kitchen cleaning up some odds and ends when the water shuts off, of course paranoid that I am the first thing I did was get on the bank's website to make sure I had paid the water bill.....I had. I just talked to the city job engineer, the construction crew broke a water main and they won't know how much is damaged until the water dept. gets out to drain off the standing water so they can see the what the damage is. So we are without water until sometime late today.....and they might have to chop up part of the newly made street a couple few feet from us to make the repairs.

 

Morning all. The water line chopped in two by construction workers the other day was repaired about 5 hours later, we were wondering if a night in a hotel was in our future. Drinking water was not a problem, there are always bottles of water in the pantry, it was other needs that were a concern
Our part of the street is complete, they are now working on the street around the corner and the workers all need places to park so our street is full of their trucks and cars but at least that means our street is still closed to thru traffic so it's relatively quiet out there.

We will be buying some wood today for the shelves in our bedroom. We gave our youngest my dresser when she moved and hubbies chest of drawers will become storage in the spare bedroom so all of our clothes are in a baskets stacked on the floor waiting for their new home. It's been a month so I guess it's time to finally get that project done over the 3 day weekend we have coming up.

 

Good morning all! Really fresh morning here, the air is very crisp! Big sports weekend here in our local county, flags are everywhere Got through some weeding yesterday and I had two canine 'helpers'. Their help consisted of barking at the already pulled weeds
Have a super Saturday all!
