Shirley ,way to go!!

Patricia, are you sure you didn't forget anything in town?

Hello Everyfriend!  It was a beautiful day here today...up into the low 70s and sunshiny!  I loved it a so did Cooper.  He was out in the yard more than he was in.

CALLIE, Cindy is the one who lives in OK.  And she made it home safely.  She said about 40 miles was bad driving and she said a prayer that she'd get there safely.  I guess her prayers and mine both worked.  She texted me when she got home so I could go to bed

I started to get out my summer clothes.  I've been way too warm in bed the past couple of nights so I need my summer PJs.  And I'm riding down to my sister's on Saturday with my grandniece who is going home from a nearby college for the weekend.  Then I'm coming back on Wed. night with my daughter and SIL who are going there for a sports event.  I haven't seen my sister since COVID shut us down and it's time. 

I'm off to the haystack now.  Time to get some shuteye!  I have lots to do tomorrow including having Cooper from 11 to 8!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!  And may he watch over the Ukrainians!

well I am following  JaneS she will most likley open S&F In the morning. I hope I go right off to sleep tonight, no fun struggling to sleep. I wish you all a good and peaceful night. hope to see you all tomorow.

Lloyd

Amy, anything still forgotten is just out of luck!      

for Shirley

Good morning...

Yayyy I can stay home today....no running to Drs!! I was happy with the report my Dr gave me yesterday.

Today is work outside  after inside work is done.

Shirley enjoyed your photos. Yesterday on our way to the Dr. I noticed the osprey are back in their nest.

Bubble, enjoyed your birds too!! I can be entertained for hours just watching animals.

Better shake a leg and get moving.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning  everyone. Yesterday was the first 70° day and it was a day to go outside but I was in here all day.. They are working on the elevator yesterday and today. Poor lazy CNA had to use the stairs,  did I feel bad for her? The best CNAs are the older ones who know how to do a job, the young ones have no concept of how it is to work 8 hours a day.

JANE  glad your daughter  got home safe so you could get to your haystack for your beauty sleep   Like you I have been waking up at night too warm so I had the CNA working to get my comforter washed and dried and got my summer spread out and on the bed and the comforter put away till next fall. Already had the clothes changed around.

LLOYD  hope you slept better last night.

AMY  glad doctor report was a good one.

BUBBLE  thanks for the link to Shirley's photos.

SHIRLEY  out of focus or not I love seeing those birds but especially the male cardinal.

We no longer have bird feeders in the front of this building, they are messy especially the humming birds. sorry the witch is the only one who sees the mess but we enjoyed watching them, even the bird bath had the part that holds the water is upside down so we no longer can see the birds have a drink of water or get in and "have a bath".

Have a good day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I loved the bird pics, too!  Today is supposed to be a rainy one all day.  Cooper won't like that.  I loves to go into the yard, bark a bit at stuff and then find a sunshiny spot and stretch out!

Today will be a busy one!  I have a eye dr. appt at 10:45 and I'm getting ready to go to my sisters tomorrow.  That means laundry and packing and I'm working at getting the summer stuff out. 

GLORIA, that wasn't nice of the witch to close down all the bird things!  They need help too and she's depriving all you tenants of the pleasure of watching!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Well, I knew I was getting old but here I am talking to myself again!  I think I'll just go to bed.  God bless anyone who comes by!

Everyone must be busy today.  Not a nice day - rainy and cool. Hope tomorrow is nice. I have an azalea plant I have to get into the ground.

Good night and sweet dreams everyone. I fell asleep watching a moovie woke up so I am on my way to the hay stack, hope I sleep good tonight, that the nap hasent spoiled my night's sleep.

Lloyd

Good Morning!  I'll be disconnecting my laptop to take with me to my sister's and I'm not 100% sure I'll know what I'm doing when I try to connect after I get there.  Maybe I won't be back in here until after Wednesday when I come back home and I can call the nice guys at the computer place for help.  In case I don't see you all, have good days.  It rained here all day yesterday and is supposed to rain most of the day today.  Is this April or May?  Or are we just a month behind?

Good morning..

Another nice day in the making here. Laundry will blow out dry in no time.

Yesterday was busy. Two men stopping one in the morning to get 2 trugs and another later on to get one trug. One will pick up his trug later today and the other on Mon . After Kyle put the lining in the one trug off we went to get more lumber.

Today is laundry day and goodness knows what else. Any time I plan things it goes haywire so I am just taking the day as it comes.

Jane, have a great time at your sisters. I did get your correction on the juice and have put it down on my copy.

Rick ,yesterday was an awesome day here..lot of outside work was done. Azaleas are so pretty...One lady to the north of  us has one  that winters over, I didn't know they would survive our cold winters.

Gloria, I think it shocked all of us.. Dr ,nurse and I were all pleased.

Better get a move on.....days seems to fly by on me..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

I was tired last night & woke up at 4:30am with leg cramps. Know I haven't been drinking enough water & Gatorade lately so blame is mine. Had both & Tiger had a bowl of Fairlife milk so think we'll go back to bed. Had a frustrating day with lawn mowers yesterday & it shouldn't be that difficult of a task to keep me awake at night. Enough griping, starting to get daylight so better either eat breakfast or back to bed.

Jane, I had a look at the photo of my first "wilted lettuce" salad & it was dated a year ago today.... and the trug isn't cleaned out or lettuce/spinach even planted this year. Not our imagination that this is a strange year. Enjoy the visit with your sister.

Another week end, where did this week go? Good night or morning, daylight now & wind is not blowing, had enough rain this week so I don't need to water. Any time the wind isn't blowing the sprinklers get turned on but not today.

Amy, we are supposed to have a super hot week so I'll take my throw rugs out to wash & dry, love to have a clothes line. Life a lot different with one cat that has the run of the house & knows what  the litterbox is for. Sure miss Tom & still watching for Callie even tho I'm sure she is dead. Congrats on the good Dr. report.

Good Morning everyone. sun Is shining very bright Not a cloud in the sky, clear and 51º here this morning @7:20AM. I went to bed very Late.put on a new mask and slept good . so I am ready to bed. AMY I am intrested in in's and outs of how your sweet heart builds his trugs as you say. I call mine raised beds. mine are 16 feet long and 4 feetwide and 36 inces tall. I have nailon or plastic linners in mine. good hight and weth, can reach the center half way from either side. and walk all the way around it. so_P_bubble thanks for all the pictures very good job.

Lloyd

Good morning  everyone.  going to my son's for Mother's day today instead to tomorrow. By the time they get home from church after noon time they are not ready to start cooking and I know how that is. It is quite windy here today and tomorrow to be the same with more of a chance of rain.

JANE  at times I wonder if it is her of the company that wants this building looking neat and beautiful. They own other buildings but when they have "important" people invited-maybe looking for investors- they all meet here. All the community rooms on the ground floor are closed to tenants. They have food brought in for dinner and coffee and snacks for them in there all day. Have a safe trip and enjoy your visit. will look forward to reading all about it when you get home.

AMY  I learned years ago not to plan anything because every time I did something happened to go wrong.

SHIRLEY  you sound like me, have breakfast and then a nap.

LLOYD  glad you slept good for a change.

Better get breakfast and then shower and get ready to go to my son's home. Rather stay home and have a long nap.

Have a good day and stay safe.

Lloyd, sent you an email.

    

Good night and God Bless (especially all Mothers).

Good morning everyone.well besides being mothers day today is a spical day for us , one of our great grend deaughters is going to be baptized. the event will take place after church service this morning. it will be preformed by the preacher at where they go to church, In a open greack with rinning watter. it is 59ºand clear. not a cloud in sight. so should be a good day for it. hope you all have a good day and a better tomorow..

Lloyd

Good morning.

Another lovely day here!! Happy Mothers Day to you.

A day of welcomed rest here....has been a bust week. The man picked up his trug and left us with a bottle of maple syrup and a bag of fiddleheads.

Kyle wanted to take me out today but with our anniversary coming up I opted for dinner out on our anniversary.. restaurant won't be so crowded then.
Lloyd, it is a very special day there for you and Nancy. Enjoy!

Gloria, now you can just rest today . 

Shirley, I knew Callie had disappeared but not Tom...do you think the two ran off together?

Better get into my duds ..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..


 

good morning Everyfriend!  im waiting for my sister to get up.  We sat here talking and laughing until way past midnight last night and I think she sleeps better than i do. 

We don't have any plans for the day but I suspect her daughter and grandkids will show up sometime.  We've decided to order a pizza for one of our meals today.  We're both hungry for pizza.  And what better meal for two mothers on Mother's Day than something they both love!

I hope you all have a good day!  LLOYD, your day is certainly special! 

I think I hear Margie stirring around up there.  I hope so because I can't find the coffee!  Enjoy!!!

Good morning  everyone. Had a good time yesterday especially with my great grandson there. As usual my DIL and son had too much food and I brought some home. Shirl made a wonderful chocolate cake for dessert and I have a big piece of that. Mike sat down for awhile and I turned the PC on to get ready for Skype time with my daughter. No computer. What now, it was find when I shut it off when I left for dinner. I could see what was in the PC but get online. Called Cox, not much help there. Mike called his son-the family guru and he came over. The gal on Cox said it sounded like maybe the modem was messing up. Anyway He talked to David and when he got here he brought a different WIFI with him and installed that, the one I had was an old one he  did not use anymore. He is always improving what  he has his pc at home and keeps what he took off but is still good. Not that so he called Cox and talked to a man this time. He wanted to talk him into a new combination modem and WIFI that would add another $15 to my monthly bill. That would bring me over $200. a month. David to the rescue again, he moved wires around and got me on-line till he checks out the routers and will get one for me, He gets a discount on anything to do with computers from where he works, an arrangement with the company and I think it is Best Buy. So no Skype yesterday but I did call her and talked for a few minutes.

I slept late this morning and now it is time for my second cup of coffee. Maybe instead of breakfast food I will have some of that chocolate cake with the coffee.

Have a good day everyone, especially all MOTHERS.

Gloria, thank you, the card was beautiful. I especially like the cherry blossoms ! Have had phone calls from family and friends .

Gloria,
Chocolate cake is appropriate at any time. Enjoy it and Have a nice day.

Thank you for the lovely JL card Gloria. And yes, chocolate cake is always the right choice!

Lloyd, what a special day for your family and great-granddaughter!

Jane, enjoy your visit with Margie; it sounds like it got off to a great beginning, and Margie can show you the way to coffee!

I hope everyone has a wonderful mother's day!

I'll work my way back to where I said "good night"..........

Gloria, we're either ready to stomp these computers or die without one. I hate when all set to do something fantasic with one & it's dead. Bet Regina would have loved getting to see everyone so hope somebody had a phone to sub with. I'll check out JL after posting, had too many disappear when I get off track. 

Jane, sounds like you & your sister are a lot alike. My sis & I are so different it is a struggle to even remember the same things. I was more in tune with my brothers. Is she older or younger?  Enjoy!

Amy, Tom died a few weeks ago but Tiger was around all day as he moaned. Because he was so terrified of all humans I didn't have the heart to take him to the vet for a more humane death & my oldest son was here most of the day & had just gone through his oldest cat dying so helped me. The youngest son volunteered to bury Tom down by the river, I did  appreciate that. When Callie insisted on going outside late night I had a feeling what the reason was and hoped it would be easier than what Tom went when thru. Every day, all day I check the doors to see if she wants in. Tiger is still distraught & looks for her, even going outside off & on all day, something she hasn't wanted to do for nearly a year. She used to go down to the river with me, all 3 did, but not lately. Tom & Callie both showed signs of getting worse, he was almost completely blind the last few days & Callie had to shake her little legs to get up & move. Sad as it is, they had longer lives than most ferals and for sure, never went hungry! I do feel sorry for Tiger, she is lonesome, I am not much fun these days.

Lloyd, always a special day when a grand or great-grand reaches a stage of carrying on our Faith in God. Extra blessings for the parents.

I came back to view Gloria's card & didn't find my post!!! Another OOPS!  Amy, Rick, & Patricia, I know what happened, you snuck in and I wasn't paying attention, Tiger came to tell me it's lunch time for her so I didn't scroll down to notice y'all posted.  Lucky for me this post was still on the clipboard so saved the day! AND, the card is beautiful, Gloria!

Spring has arrived in the Interior!

"Fairbanks National Weather Service Observation Program Leader Craig Eckert said that power had been shut off in Manley Hot Springs and that water was approximately one foot deep throughout the village, according to reports from residents. The National Weather Service updated their flood warning for the area on Saturday morning.

"An ice jam has formed on the Tanana River downstream from Manley Hot Springs," the flood warning said. "River observer in Manley Hot Springs reported significant flooding in Manley Hot Springs as water continues to rise along with ice flowing up through the slough. The observer reported that almost all roads in Manley are flooded and that several houses on the slough bank have water either in or surrounding them. Water is over the Elliott Highway across from the Manley Hot Springs bathhouse."

The flood warning remains in effect until 6:00 p.m. Sunday. Eckert said that the flooding was being caused by a pinch point where the ice was jammed, backing up water downriver from the ice jam.

"This is the second-worst flooding ever," Eckert said. "We believe, the locals there said this is the highest water level anybody's seen in 45 years and so that, you know, it's bigger than 2012 and then the record flood was in 1956.

The National Weather Service also issued a flood watch for the Yukon River near Eagle."

Patricia, just saw the neatest article in AtlasObscura on line, about the Sitkin Volcano.  Have you seen it, been there
