The Good Day All Thread

Good Friday morning all. Currently just 2°C and sunny. The winds were howling again last night, keeping me awake. My daughter had an early skating lesson before school, and so we were out bright and early this morning. I am now home to do some serious house cleaning before everyone is home for the weekend. Have a great day all

 

Good Saturday morning all. Currently 2°C and overcast. Off to Saturday's morning skate , and then to see my parents and do some shopping. We all need new winter boots and a few other things. Should make for a long day. Have a great day all

 

It rained here all day. We went out and around on the bus anyway. I bought a big box to keep my writing stuff in. I guess I should have bought some manilla folders to sort the stuff. I can stack it in the box until I get back to the store. I have a triple unit slow cooker so made chili and vegetable beef soup in two of the units today. Soup for supper tonight, chili tomorrow and some for containers in the freezer for another day. Today was a good day for soup. Supposed to be nice tomorrow with temps getting back into 60's for three or four days. Today was the last day for the farmer's market and we didn't go due to the rain but I imagine the pretty much got rained out anyway. Most have those big stands covered with awnings but people have to walk up and down without protection unless they have their own umbrellas. Nearly everyone on the bus had an umbrella. We wore raincoats but didn't take umbrellas. It was a drizzle more than rain so we didn't get really wet. I have some reusable shopping bags cut out and one in the making. I think I will go and finish it. dooley

 

Toni, our PBS does have the British Baking Show, and we loved last season! However, this year they are showing it at 11 p.m. on Sunday night.
We woke up at 5 a.m. to a terrific thunder and lighting storm, with sheets of rain. Luckily it ended about an hour later, and has been dry all day, although overcast. No outside work today, except for a soggy slog to the compost pile!

 

Good Sunday morning all! Currently 10°C and overcast. Welcome November ... so far the forecast is warmer than October! I may actually get some work done out in the yard this week!
I am thankful my 12 year old was easily bribed out of trick or treating with the purchase of a bag of candy. Halloween is my least favorite event of the year (notice I didn't call it a holiday - I think there are much more important things we could be celebrating rather than ghouls and walking around begging for free candy. dumb dumb dumb event. rant over)
A busy day yesterday with skating, and then a trip to the big city to see my parents and go to 'the big mall'. A day of shopping and then home to pack up my son and get him back to his college dorm. I did a LOT of driving yesterday!
Today is laundry day, and maybe a day to bake some muffins. Have a great day all

 

Good morning! Morning and morning, it's Sunday afternoon here already, but still... We were supposed to have a storm yesterday. We had some gale force winds and a bit of rain but it never amounted to much. We're on a new storm warning today, but it hasn't arrived yet. We might also get a little storm tomorrow. I've stopped believing the forecast. I might as well go outside, wet my index finger and stick it in the air. It's just as reliable as the forecast. I've walked the small pony and will test the big one later to see if his hind leg is ok for work tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday all.

 

Happy Sunday morning. Nothing but water here. 14 inches fell from early Saturday morning to early afternoon. 2 inches more in the last 24 hours. Town (Liberty) is flooded. There's water standing here in our pasture. Don't recall seeing that before. My house is on blocks so there's no worry about water coming in. And that the good news.
Bad news, they are releasing water from the dam north of here, and already warning people of serious flooding by the end of the week.
I'm tired of being stuck in the house! I miss the drought!

 

Cheryl, I'm glad you are high and dry--I was worrying a bit about you. Most of our puddles have soaked in thanks to no rain on Saturday.
Have you ever heard the expression "mad as a wet hen?" Believe me, you have NO idea! The ladies stayed in the coop yesterday since their outside playground had standing water. They retaliated by not laying eggs.

 

That's a lot of lambs Frank!
Good Monday morning all. Currently 8°C and overcast. I'm not getting used to this time change, nor is the dog. She had me up bright and early, and we were already back from our dog walk by 7am. Now I am wide awake and bushy tailed ready to face the day. Plans just changed and now I am heading to Costco with my daughter, my first time ever. Should be an interesting day! Have a great day all
