The Good Day All Thread

Oh gosh Netty, it sounds like you are playing a Goldilocks game with the skating schedule - so yep, theoretically, third try (next year?) should be "just right".

Ooooo, sorry your appointment didn't go easier, Frank
Stay the course, the results will be worth it.

Try not to over-do today Toni, remember that you are still recovering from the soreness of all of that garden work.

As for me - I'm like a broken record ... It's . STILL . raining .

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently just 9°C and raining! Finally some RAIN! Off to work, where today we begin decorating for fall. Have to pick up the Mum's, the gourds and pumpkins and the straw. The corn is already cut and bundled and ready to go. The hard part is gathering all the things needed. Oh, and tonight we begin SKATING, for sure this time Have a great day all!

 

And oh how happy I'd be to share, Toni.
There's certainly been plenty for us both! We've totaled 13 inches in our gauge just Fri-Sun, and we had already measured 3+ inches earlier in the week.
Today, so far, the rain has been on and off, and even short breaks are a relief - but the wind is definitely kicking up, so one of the biggest local concerns now is trees toppling over since the ground here is beyond saturated with more standing/flood water than I can remember seeing since Hurricane Floyd.

It looks like I should have spent less time gardening this summer, and more time building an ark.

 

Happy Monday afternoon. Geez... I can't believe I haven't checked in here in weeks!!
Our weather is gorgeous right now with temps ranging from low 60s to mid 80s and LOW humidity.
My flower beds are still being ravaged by armadillos, so no Fall planting for me. No gardening at all actually for a while, unless you count digging up my mums and putting them in pots "gardening".
Hogs are back too. Might have to try some different slop, they just aren't going after the corn like the first set.
Just held another plant sale yesterday, sold 40 out of 44 plants and made $241 dollars for the church. And can you believe someone stole a plant??? And this was at the church!!!! Bad karma is going to get them for sure.
I meant to take a photo of my booth, but just plain forgot to do it.
Work is still very busy. Even interviewing for an assistant for myself. Maybe then I'll have more time to goof off??

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 12°C and foggy. Skating went well last night except for a huge blister on my daughters foot from her new skates. I bought them for her in July and told her to wear them around the house all summer to break them in ... I guess she didn't bother. I hope it is healed up for tomorrows skating class! Just saw South Carolina and the flooding on the news ... I hope you are high and dry Zuzu! Off to work where the fall clean up continues. Have a great day all

 

Happy Tuesday morning. Another gorgeous day ahead!

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently 11°C and clear. Our high is expected to be 19°C today, and that is above 'normal'. Getting an early start today to make up for the extra hour I am missing this afternoon when I go get my car fixed. Fall decorating continues today, and fall cleanup as well. Have a great day all

 

Happy Wednesday morning!

 

Good morning! Sun is shining. A beautiful day is coming. Tomorrow......thunderstorms!

 

It seems absolutely surreal to actually see blue sky and sunshine today! I'm happy dancing.
Yesterday, things began to improve with on-and-off showers, and FINALLY, today is the first rain-free day since ... ugh, I can hardly remember when!

Thank you, Netty, yes, we are extremely grateful to be among the very lucky ones in this region, our home stayed dry.
It remains to be seen how some of the more wet-feet-sensitive plants will fare over the long run, but for the most part, our property only requires some tidying (which may take us old geezers a while to accomplish ), but when we watch the news coverage, it's hard to complain about that.

We are very glad that we do not need to travel far from home over the next couple of days, because there are many major roadways which are still under water - and some which have collapsed or have been undermined so badly that they have had to be closed for safety's sake.
That kind of damage will continue as the floodwaters work their way down the rivers and waterways.

 

Good Thursday morning all. Currently just 3°C and cloudy. We managed to get all the fall decorating done except for one Mantle, which I will do on Friday morning. This weekend is Thanksgiving here, and so the resort will be full, and we want it all looking festive. Today, the fall cleanup continues.
Glad you are getting some better weather Zuzu. I can't think of the last time we had rain here! There never seems to be balance in the world, does there?
Have a great day all
