The Good Day All Thread

Happy Monday morning. Weather forecasters still say mid70s to mid90s (which means 100F). But there is a 20% chance of rain in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Any clouds are welcomed to help block out the blazing sun. I think I'll stop on my way home and buy some fish for the new waterlily pond. And I need to drop off a Hidden Ginger to the guy at the resale shop as a thank you for the hanging metal fishy he gave me.

 

Mornin all. Only 71º here but feels hotter! Took my new vehicle to the shop this morning cause it was needing some work (we knew about when we bought it). The dealership was supposed to do it but they got too busy (2 guys own it and they only have a handful of people, its not a big place) so theyre going to take care of the cost. up-potted some mint babies that Im probably going to sell sometime. If the HOA decides to do a yardsale this year thats how Ill sell em. They usually do one annually, but theyre late this year >:/

 

Good morning! I have the plants all watered front and back. It's only 80 degs but is going to 97 degs and humid. Probably won't do too much else outside today. Have a good day!

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 9°C and overcast with clearing skies in the forecast. Just a sprinkle of rain, now we are finally in for a clearing trend. Hopefully the veggie patch dries up a little! Have a great day all

 

Farmer going to replant corn close to me. That got flooded out. To be warm today. So will go pull weeds before I go to work.

 

Happy Tuesday morning. 20% chance of rain. Heck... I think I'd just be happy with 20% cloud coverage! :-D

 

Good morning! It's cloudy and humid but only about 80 degs. so far with a 30 percent chance of rain. We had the same weather yesterday but no rain appeared. Today, we had rain. About 10 drops.
We went out to finish up along the driveway, cutting scrubby brush and weeds. Still need to carry them away but it will happen later when it really decides to rain on us.

Have a good day!

good Wednesday morning all. Currently 8°C and sunny. Today with be a day of pruning ... many Lilacs and Bridal-wreath Spiraea's will be trimmed today at work. Soccer tonight with my daughter so it is going to be a long day for me. Have a great day all

 

Happy Wednesday morning. Yippeee! We got almost 1/2 inch of rain yesterday. I was watering and watched the dark clouds roll in to the north. I said... yeah right... I'm not counting on you to rain here so finished a light watering. And sure enough... those clouds gave us a nice long light shower... and it cooled things off by at least 15 degrees. I heard all of the plants go "whew! we needed this!"
Today... same temps and chance of rain as yesterday... sure hope we get a repeat.

 

Happy Weds! What a nice day! Had a close call last evening. Hubby found a huge bull snake nestled in a bag of potting mix in the shed.This is the bag where I had been reaching in to grab a hand full.Had I touched that snake I would have died.Note to self DO NOT reach in anywhere you can't see your hand.

Good Thursday morning all. Currently 13°C and sunny. Spent the entire day pruning shrubs and will continue for at least half of today. Soccer tonight, then I do it all again tomorrow. I can't wait to sleep in! First day of summer tomorrow
Have a great day all!

 

Happy Thursday morning. We got maybe 1/6th of an inch of rain yesterday. Oh well... at least with the clouds it was a bit cooler and I'm sure the plants appreciate a little break from the sun. Same expected for today.
One of my gardening co-workers invited me to her house yesterday... so I left work a little early to tour her garden. She lives in one of those big beautiful houses in a golf course community and complains that she has a "postage stamp size" yard. Well... there is that big beautiful pool taking up most of it! Her beds from the front, sides and back are all filled to the brim with beautiful plants, flowers, and veggies. And there's all the containers on the patio, etc. Very beautiful! I'd say she has more flower beds per square foot than I do (and I have acreage).
