    Feels like fall in the mornings but turns into beautiful days. Been to town to do some errands. Now on my way to dug some potatoes for supper.
    Have a great weekend everyone!

    So, I decided to make some chocolate chip cookies today (Im reading a book and the main characters mother mother is making cookies and this part of the story always makes me hungry for them). I got everything ready, mixed the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a separate bowl like I always do, cream the butter and sugars, add the chips and start spooning them onto a baking pan. I was thinking they were a little tooo, I dunno, something, but I couldnt put my finger on it. Put the pan in the oven, turn back to the counter, and it hits me. I forgot the flour mixture! :rolleyes::D So I grab the pan out of the oven and throw it in the freezer cause the chips had already started to melt, and mixed the flour into the rest of the ingredients. I will have actual cookies before too long :D

    In other news, work later, feeling lazy now. Temp is a comfortable 74º. Still have a headache, I need a gooood massage I think :) Perhaps tomorrow, I still have 1 massage left on the gift card the bf got me 2 christmases ago (I didnt want to use them up too quickly haha)

    Morning all, I am loving the cool front that came through yesterday even if it didn't bring rain to my garden, it at least dropped the temps. Normally overnight temps in the middle of August are in the 80's but for a couple of days now it has been down to 70.

    Today we are making the first long road trip since the surgery, going down to Randy's folks. His dad needs help with wiring something and I need to get out of the house for something other than trips to a Doctor's office.

    Happy Saturday afternoon. We're having marvelous weather today. It was down-right beautiful this morning... temps below 80F until around 10am... and then 90s around noon... and there's been a nice breeze all day.
    I barely even broke a sweat doing the mowing and weed-eating this morning. It was so nice, I even did extra weed-eating along the fences!

    Happy Sunday morning. Another beautiful start to the day here. That breeze makes it super nice. And they've added a slight chance of rain to our forecast for the next few days.
    School is needing their football schedule poster done again... and they need it right away... so I guess I'll be working on that over the next couple of days. But it's really going to be hard to stay inside when the weather is so nice!

    Good Monday morning all. Currently 16°C and clear. This is the beginning of another beautiful, sunny week so that means another week of watering and dragging hoses. Have a great day everyone!

    Good morning all! Nice clear morning here with some good weather (possibly another heatwave) promised. All in all this year has been nice weather-wise.
    Have a great one all!

    Happy Monday morning. Looks like it'll be another beautiful day. First I have to take one of the aunts into town for errands. Then I need to get started on the project for the school. I don't think I'll be spending too much time in the garden... except this evening when I need to get the watering started.

    Good morning! Got an early start. Watered the tomatoes, had breakfast, went to the dump, went to the thrift shop. Home again. I'm going to sew some now, I think. Sunny and 95 today, no rain.

    Good day all. 82º and sunny.

    So far today Ive finished a book, watered part of the garden that really needed it, spent 2 hours worth on the computer and made repairs and adjustments on my moms renaissance fair costume and started re-doing mine. I think Im going to spend some time working on the side yard that Im turning into a butterfly garden.
