The Good Day All Thread

Good afternoon all. Our weather pattern is still in a 'broken record' state of mind, 100-101. Typically in late August I start doubting my sanity for working so hard in the Fall and Spring, only to have to watch the weeds replace the annuals and some of the perennials in the June through October. But as usual I have already started making plans for some changes to make when the temps cool down to below 85 on a regular basis. I guess I had better be happy with the gardening time I do have since one of these days age is going to grab me from behind and not let me gardening anymore at all.

 

Good morning all. Just another dry and hot one here....gee I wish I could say I was talking about a good wine and a burger but sadly it is still the weather of which I speak. More of the same all week 102-104 feels like temps climbing up close to 110.
A week from today we will be loading up the back of our truck to help our oldest grandson and his girlfriend move back down to Houston for school....and of course there is a thunderstorm forecast for that day. Guess we will buying a few tarps to protect things, but the action of getting prepared for rain will most likely give the rain goddess a chance to pull a fast one on us and not send the rain at all. Mother Nature loves to play with peoples minds.

 

Good morning all. Dry as a bottle of Austrian Grüner Veltliners around here and I do not care for dry wine any more than I do dry weather.
I am knitting as much as I can this month. I have ideas for christmas gifts to get busy making and also using up some of my excess yarn stash to make scarves and hats for the women's shelter residents.

 

Good morning all. We might have rain this weekend, but I am not holding my breath waiting for them.

 

Good morning all. Our neighbor is away for her annual month long visit with her mom so I am visiting her dog twice a day to let him out and feed him. He is a large Rottweiler who is really just a big baby boy. He is about 10 years old and usually comes to the fence to have a chat with me when the weather is nicer and we are both outside. She was afraid he wouldn't like me but she doesn't know about our over the fence chats over the years ..... and besides he is a pushover for milk bone dog biscuits.

The first (and only as it turned out sadly ) time we took Spooky to the vet last year he literally climbed the wall of the exam room, it took two vet techs to get him down from his climb almost to the ceiling. Then they sedated him to finish the exam. Not sure how many bandages they each had to use on their scratches.
