The Good Day All Thread

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 0°C and sunny. There is a thick layer of frost on everything this morning, looks kind of pretty. Found out last night that a neighbor was robbed last Thursday night while they were in the house sleeping. It was a stormy night, but it didn't stop thieves from entering the vehicles in the driveway and stealing any money or valuables found, as well as taking their ATV. This is a rural farm neighborhood, we are all spaced far apart and we all have long driveways and so this makes it extra creepy. It takes a LOT of nerve to go up a 600 foot private driveway in the dark, go through all the cars and then drive a 4 wheeler right past the house - in the middle of a storm!! Needless to say, surveillance equipment has been installed. I just hate thieves it makes me sick!

I have some stuff to do outside this morning, before the rain begins. Have a great day all

 

Oh my gosh, Netty! What an awful violation - it really is sickening and frightening. I hope that the thieves will be caught and duly prosecuted

We're seeing the first few sunbeams in 3 days this morning - it's warm and muggy, and the mosquitoes are so thick that it's crazy!

 

Netty, remember that things can be replaced, YOU can't be replaced! I'm so sorry your neighbor was robbed--it makes everyone nearby nervous. Please, stay safe--I want to be able to tell you next summer how your garlic pickles turned out!
I finished washing windows today, then we mowed the back yard and put the grass clippings in the outside coop for the hens. We have very happy ladies, rearranging the clippings and generally doing a Martha Stewart imitation.

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently 7°C and overcast with some light rain falling - more like a heavy mist. I had a long walk with the dog this morning and discovered there is a lot of garbage in the ditches on our road. The next time we go I will take a bag along and pick it up. What the heck is WRONG with people? Why can't they just keep it in their cars until they get home and dispose of it properly? UGH! Ok, rant over Mopping floors today ... fun wow! The rest of my day will depend on what the weather decides to do. Have a great day all

 

Good Thursday morning all. Currently 7°C and raining. The winds will pick up later as well. Today is shopping and errands day, so I'll have my coffee and head out. Have a great day everyone

 

Not a good day in our area. The local police chief was shot while moonlighting at a nightclub as a security guard. He passed away on Tuesday, and today the town and surrounding area are in mourning. His funeral is Saturday, so the rest of this week will be pretty subdued.
There is a fund set up to help out the family. I cannot imagine the grief and confusion his dear wife is going through at this point.
Candlelight vigil on Friday evening, which we plan to attend.

 

Oh my gosh Jane ... that is horrible! Sending thoughts and prayers to all. Again I ask what is wrong with people?
Morning all ... currently 5°C with strong winds and rain, changing to snow later I am told. My internet was down for a while, but seems to be working fine right now. Darling daughter had some ice time before school today for a dance lesson, then I went shopping and spent more money. I need to stay away from stores lol Cleaning house now and maybe making some French Onion Soup. Have a great day all

 

Good Saturday morning all. Currently just 1°C and overcast.
Not sure that it really IS a GOOD morning ... it used to be that every day I woke up on this side of the ground was a good day. After listening to the news this morning from Paris, I am left standing here in shock.
More and more I ask myself what the heck is wrong with people, and what kind of world will be left for my kids and grandkids. Why oh why do people feel the need for such senseless violence?
When is the madness going to end? Thoughts and prayers to Paris ...

 

We were watching TV last evening, and the network broke into the program with the Paris news. One of the more heartening things about this whole tragic, senseless event is that, while the stadium was being evacuated, the crowd spontaneously started to sing the French national anthem. God bless the French! You have to admire their courage.
"what kind of world will be left for my kids and grandkids." Hopefully a world that has less hate, less intolerance, and more understanding that we all are humans, and we really need to learn to get along with one another.
