I'm here to say good night sooooooo......

Good Night Everyfriend!  I'm tired and ready to conk out for the night.  AMY I'm happy that you and Kyle had a good day today and I'm wishing youanother one tomorrow!  I hope all goes well!

And I'm off tothe nether regions to see if the haystack has room for me tonight.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a good tomorrow!  Make it your own in every way but stop by to share it with us!

Good morning..

Off to the city...then home to just rest!  Starting off with 37° and heading to near 70° today. Made a date to take the van in to get the a/c checked as it doesn't seem to be working and going into hot weather we need it!!

Jane, have fun with the youngun's

Patricia, please don't give the snow our direction.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  This will be a shortie because I have to get ready to run with Cindy.  We're going to a store where  I can get a couple things I forgot to pack and she can get some stuff she needs!  I wish you all a good day!  Make it your own in every way and don't forget to share it with us!  We miss you when you don't stop by.

AMY, good luck to you and KYLE today!

Good morning anyone.  Nice ,warm, and sunny -  to start the day. 70° already.

Good morning, chilly today at only 30 and the rain continues from yesterday. After being in the mid-sixties over the weekend, we were surprised with raining snow on Monday morning. The sleet quickly melted into rain, which is still going on, albeit softer.

I have to go out sometime today for another pot and more planting soil for my rosebush, but other than that, with the week's promise of yet more rain, I'll be staying in.

Don't wish for another day like today! Two appointments is one too many.  Moving into some of the positions for Kyle was difficult but they were so patient at both places.

Jane, hope you could get  what you forgot from home.  thank you, we both will hit the bed early tonight.that is if we can stay awake to do that.

Rick, temp is 71° at the moment here. Heading south we noticed just how much further along in growth on the trees than we are.

Patricia,we are to get rain on Thur much nicer than snow. 

Putting my feet up and hope I don't go to sleep before bedtime!

Our flowering trees and bushes are still in full bloom. I have two different azaleas. One blooms early and two later. They are both in bloom now. Still some trees to wake up (Locust). They are just starting to leaf out, and will be loaded with small white flowers soon. It's nice that spring is here.

Glad to see that Jane was going shopping today.  Yesterday was so stormy that the weather gurus were on the air from mid-afternoon until way after midnight. There were 9 tornadoes in the state last night - mostly in the Tulsa area north and east from where Jane is. The biggest one (an F4 which has made the national news) was about 49 miles from where she's visiting.

Storms were all around OKC and there was an F1 in south OKC but my area and areas where family lives weren't affected.

Had to cancel all activities planned for yesterday but today was sunny and pleasant so son and I got quite a bit done.

I didn't get to watch "The Voice" last night but enjoyed seeing who made the finals on tonight's show.  Now going to watch "Password". 

Good morning..
Well yesterday finished off by losing power, when I checked the hydro site is said an accident had caused 8000+ people to be without power. Thankfully we have a generator and once out of the garage and hooked up we were good to go!

Today is another busy catch up day along with phone calls. Oh for a day of nothing to do..

Callie ,glad all is well there.not a pretty site they showed on the news here.

Rick, I am anxious for the lilacs to bloom here, Mountain Ash is slowly starting to leave out. Rhubarb is just about ready to pick!

Better get this day on the road.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning to Everyfriend!  I typed a message last night and when I tried to post it, it just disappeared!  I hope this one doesn't do that!  I'm going to keep it short just in case.

I'm glad all of you are safe and if this does post, I'll be back later!  Today is laundry day and I'm going to stay close to help.  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. 

Good morning, we're having a space between rains currently, but none of the latest ones have been heavy. I was out on errands yesterday, and today I need to start on some laundry, but that's about it for now.

I hope everyone is having a pleasant day.

We have had rain off and on today, mostly on!  In between showers I would put food out for crow, give a shrill whistle and they soon would be taking the food away. Won't be too long and they will bring their young to est and that is alawys funny to watch. Babies as big as parents ,wings flapping wanting Mom or Dad to feed them.

Laundry done, baked beans made with a piece of smoked ham the neighbour gave us, refrigerator pickles  done just waiting till they can go in the frigerator. Love that recipe, so easy to whip up.

Hope EVERYONE here is safe from the storms, tornadoes.  Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, even Michigan. 

If you're in any of the "warning" areas, check in when you can and let us know if you're okay.

Just looked at the weather map (Radar) and it looks like Virginia and West Virginia are in for some weather. We were very dark this morning. Even a thunder storm went by. But since then it has cleared and is beautiful our - 82° as the sun sets.

Goodnight anyone.
Still not even a mouse stirring - and no donus left. Someone must have been here

Good morning..

Rain has stopped for the time being and temp is 37° at the monent.
We will soon head out to the vet,should be an interesting day. Jesse is going to be sedated to have his nails done and Babe will just get hers done. We will have about a 3 hour wait till he comes out of la la land.

Oh oh, better make some cookies or muffins for the hidey hole!

Hope everyone is safe and not in the path of the tornados!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Sunny and 60 right now. Hope it stays that way. Wildlife fed, and if it stays nice out I'll sit out there for while and talk to my wildlife friends.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's a gorgeous day where I am in Oklahoma!  Not too hot yet and I took my walk this morning!  They have a long walkway that's always open and safe and I'm getting to know some of the people who go there when I do....not by name....just by face and we greet one another when we pass!

RICK, we baked chocolate chip cookies for the kids yesterday and I put some in the Soda Shoppe.  Help yourself!

ALI and DAN sold theri house and will be building on the lot where she grows her flowers to  sell.  Right now they are living with Dan's parents and today they are all coming here for dinner.  We'll be busy today!  I love it when the kids come by.  It didn't take the little guy long to start giving me hugs and I love it!


Guess I better get moving!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!  Come by and say HI!

Good morning, it's 42 and partly cloudy here. The Southeast is cold, windy, wet and rainy, and has been for most pf May and expecting no real changes for the rest of May.

On this side of the Alaska Range, we're expecting partly cloudy with an occasional rain shower for the rest of May. The rivers are breaking up, and they've set off small charges here and there to try and prevent some serious ice jamming and floods.

Jane, I'm glad you and your family are safe, and you're enjoying your family and all the little ones you've missed.

Callie, I'm also glad to hear that you and your family remain safe from those horrible tornadoes and their aftermath. I understand that one city has been hit twice with severe tornadoes and damage.

Rick, we no longer see the smaller birds as management cut down all the trees in back and only left a few evergreens on the front side. I'm no longer able to visit the public areas of the small part of the wildlife sanctuary inside the city limits but have heard that many small birds and the swans have already returned.

Amy, I'm sorry that Jesse has to be sedated. One of my neighbors has a small black dog who growls and snaps when his are done; otherwise he's a happy soul.

 

We are back sooner than thought but that is nice! Have one very sleepy dog and the other one is just resting. No wonder m y legs go to sleep when Jesse is laying on my lap......he is 102lbs!! Everyone loved him and were warned ahead of time that he can't hold his licker and some did get a cleaning. Babe behaved, no muss no fuss,not like she does at home.

Kyle is out cutting grass and I have done the trimming and now to??

Rick, Jane came to your rescue but I have to warn you chcolate chip are one of my favourites......notice I said one. 

Patricia, for the most part the morning went well I was to stop at the drug store and get our names on the list for another covid shot but thought tomorrow will be alright to do it. Golden girl would lay right down and let me cut her nails, same with the neighbours dog no problem . These two are another story!

Farrah gets hers done at the vet. He'll be talking to me or to his assistant while calming doing that and his exam, and Farrah stays calm, unlike with me.

I think our vet is priceless ,she is amazing with the animals. gets right down on the floor with them.After she was done with Jesse we talked for a bit then she had to move on but she asked for a hug!! I am always up for hugs!

I thought tomorrow was a free day but after a phone call Kyle has to go for blood work and an ECG. Thankfully that can be done here and no long distance travelling......phew.

My vet is tall, thin, and very competent. His assistants are usually interning veterinary students, but I don't see him as friendly and not unfriendly. He's doing as much explaining to his intern as to the pet's owner.

I never thought if this was good or bad, simply what I had. There are a number of other vet clinics, but I had one or two issues with the others I've tried.

Good morning

Starting out at 41° and a rainy day. Can pick and freeze some rhubarb if time permits today. My friend uses  4 cups in her muffins so will freeze some for her in that measurement.


Patricia, a lot of people have had issues with the vet here and we travel over and hour way to a country vet.She told me that if I ever need help on the weekend she will come here.


Enjoy your day and stay safe.

 

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I had to pack up my computer because we had the whole family for supper last night.  And I never got it out until this morning! 

I've taken my walk and had my breakfast.  Cindy is off to the Dr. and a couple of errands on the way home.  And here I am!  I read all the stories about treating the doggies and was reminded of when I took doggies to the vet.  Our first vet was a friend and school mate of mine and his wife was a Girl Scout worker with me.  And all his kids passed through my troops.  Now that office is staffed with 3 lady vets.  I like two of them but prefer not to have the third. 

Today is going to be an OFF day.  No kids coming and no company for dinner.  Cindy and I are going todo a short shopping trip this afternoon.  I'm in the market for a new printer but not in a hurry to get one.  I think I want one that prints on both sides of the page and saves some paper. But I'm going to do a lot of looking when we go shopping!

AMY, Cooper is a licker doggie too!  If I sit down and start petting him, he always returns it with his tongue!

I'm sure glad the tornadoes passed over us and I'm sorry for those that got hit.  It must be awful to lose everything and sometimes life in that kind of weather!

Guess I better see what needs doing!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!  Be sure to share it with us.

Good morning, 40 degrees and sunny presently, I've fed Farrah, made some coffee, had my meet and greets and did my morning chores. So, here I am.

Amy, there are three main vets in the city and a couple of large animal vets. None of them seem less than professional, and none of them seem to suffer fools, either the human or animal variety, gladly. It is what it is, no matter how we might wish otherwise.

Jane, enjoy your day of rest and your shopping.

Hey Patricia.  I know I'm "late to the party" but would you be so sweet as to tell me what constitutes your "meet and greet".  I am well aware of the term, but just wondering how it applies to you.  I realize this sounds stupid, but inquiring minds want to know!  LOL.

Hello Everyfriend!  Today didn't turn out to be a 'slow" day after all!  Ali showed up with the two boys and we all had lunch together and then we went to the biggest greenhouse I've ever been in!  I was in one at home with my DIL that I thought was pretty big but I'd say this one was AT LEAST 5 times bigger!  I couldn't close my eyes!  They kept seeing more and more!  And then they saw more and more and more and more!

On the way home, Cindy and I stopped and did some shopping....well, she bought and I shopped!  I saw a lot of nice things but I held onto my money!  At this age, I have to really need it to reach into my pocket!

We came home and did a bit of reading, then had supper and now I'm ready for the haystack!  I'm tired right down to my ugly toenails!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  Be sure to stop back and share the day with us.  We miss you if you don't!

Good morning..

Another lovely day here,sun is awake with white wispy clouds  not the rain clouds they were calling for.

Ususal chores this morning,  then try to get the trugs ready for planting.Have most of the seeds and bought two kinds of tomato plants that will be shared with our neighbour. Just need constant weather to warm the soil.

Jane, I bet that was  lovely to walk amongst all the plants!! A lot of eye candy to see!

Patricia, the farm vets  ,all but one were amazing. The one that was checking
 Pansy (Jersy cow) out was rough with her. She did get pay back though when he checked at the back and she deposited some hot steamy cow patties in his coveralls.

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning, another partly cloudy day, 44 degrees at 8:44. I repotted two more of my plants yesterday, and I am debating about doing five more. Of course, that would necessitate another trip to purchase more, and I'm ambivalent about that.

Tome, my meet and greets are a group of old friends, some of whom I've known for forty years. For a long time, we've visited, played cards, partied, gone upriver, and seen our kids play together. Then Covid and age struck, and that group has narrowed to nine.

We began calling and texting each morning as a way of keeping in touch and looking out for each other. After covid, we stopped, but the women missed it, and we started up again. Then the men joined in again. And that is our way of staying close.

Jane, I'm glad you're enjoying your trip and the little ones! As Amy, said, those flowers sound wonderful, what an experience to have!

Amy, we're up to 18 hours and 20 minutes of daylight with sunrise at 4:38 and sunset at 10:58, so people are, again, out at all hours.

Good for Pansy! She let that vet know just how she felt about his roughness.

The rains are expected back tomorrow. It has been raining, two days of possibles and then rain again. We are about twenty degrees colder than average.
