A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2382

I've had a hectic day after staying up ALL night last night. I haven't had time to even try to get a nap in today so maybe that will help me go to sleep in a little while.

It was t-shirt weather here today...very warm.

PS....just wondering, (after Tina's "Gopod" in the Shout Box). Does everyone have a little red x in a box where they can delete their post there after it's been posted?

about the "X" in the shout box:
yea I have one--it is black not red but I can delete my posts if I wish--

I didnt notice the Gopod--I shall have to go look---

My bad!!! The "x" is blue. I'm color blind.....or something.

Oh is it ?? I just looked and yup--mine IS blue--sheese--sorry...
I thought perhaps "administrators" had different colored "x's" LOL

My x is blue too. I could have used it but I decided to leave my typo hanging out there.

what X? Does something need fixing?

Everything is as it should be, Bill. From my point of view anyway. Except for this teen that is on a mission to make everything difficult. At the end of an emotionally taxing day, I am not a pretty sight. Can't decide if I want alcohol or ice cream.

Good morning all, had a long busy day yesterday..appointments, errands and such. I was also lucky enough to get in a haircut, I don't go often but I always feel so good when I leave. I got half of my hair cut off

There were alot of accidents yesterday morning, everywhere I went...roads were closed off and re-routed...slow down people.

Cheryl hang in there, I have been there myself...sometimes I still am. You just got to stand your ground, apparently they will grow up, well that's what I was told...I am still waiting on mine

Good Morning.

Ladies..about "teens" I found that it take some children longer go get out of the 'teen stage' than others---but hey--it will happen eventually. MIne are going to be 26 & 32 this April & they each still have their "days". But there are now more good days than not--so yes stand your gground & then hang in there.

I am glad that you did not get into an accident Sunny. Plus getting some thing done for "you" (I call it me time) is always a good thing.

I think I have a cold---it is hard to be sure as one of my meds have the side affect of a runny nose & a sore throat. We shall see as the day progresses.

Well I am off to get some coffee & a housecoat. BB later

and oh Bill ?? The blue "X" ?? it is so we can delete our posts in the shout box if we so chose. :wink:

The X only shows up next to our own names...we can't see anyone elses.

yep right you are---good point to bring up, Sunny--thanks.

Yeah... I figured it out... Just getting a little slower in my old age!

The color of the X is based on which page template you are using.

Good morning. I don't see anywhere that needs a fix, Bill. You can rest easy. I have no heavy duty plans for my day. I'm thinking of taking it easy for most of the day. Maybe cooking something. Baking. Things that refresh me.

yea--after lunch I'm going to do some bookwork I meant to do yesterday--then I think I will make some mini-muffin sized donuts for my DH. I figure I can't go wrong having some sweets ready for h im when he comes home, HUH ???

Still not feeling the best--perhaps I really am sick ???

For the past few weeks, we have been honored to have a Snowy Owl visiting us from the Arctic. We've seen him, but never when we have a camera.
I have been out searching for him this morning, but to no avail...
He is pretty hard to miss, since he stands over 2 feet tall and has a 5 ft. wing span!
Needless to say, the kitties are staying in at night...

Wow, I hope you get to take a few pics...amazing. We have lots of owls here but I have no clue what kind.

Yup, when the birds are bigger than kitties they need to be babysat.

Tina and Carol, you should bake brownies then send me some

I love snowy owls they're so pretty. I used to see them almost every winter when I was a kid but haven't seen one in ages.

You know, if they would not be bricks by the time they got there, I would do that for you....

I am baking today and running errands. Birthday Party tomorrow. I am making a regular cake - chocolate & vanilla and some vegan cupcakes. Have so much to do still. Ahhh! I better get moving.

Have a beautiful day everyone!

~Beth~

Wow, Bill...have you noticed a decrease in your tiny little squirrel's population? I hope you get some pictures!

Been in the chair all day...had a doctor appt in Lexington but didn't feel like going so I cancelled it...should have gone so I could stop at the liquor store.

With ?

O.k. DH says we have snowy owls.....he said we see more of them when the lemming population is low in the Arctic.

Keep a close eye on those kitties.

oh.......

I have owls here. A couple different types. Not sure of varieties. Large ones. It is fun to watch the parents teach the babies how to fly and hunt and swoop over the pool to drink. We found it was not a good idea to stretch a water volleyball net across the pool and leave it up.

I konked out last night...I actually fell asleep at NIGHT, which is something rare. It's raining again....glad this precipitation has been rain and not snow, or we would be covered up.

Anyone have any pictures of peas or pea plants I can use?

Not me...wish I had some pea plants. I love fresh peas!

I lost all my garden pics when my other computer crashed...

Sun is shining, it's cold out but the brightness sure looks nice.

kinda overcast--was spitting rain when we were out earlier this morning. The good news is it is 46*F out---

Whole Wheat Bread is in the oven...so Carol gets a treat soon.

It's beautiful here. Was yesterday too, felt like spring! I needed the sunshine, it really does make a difference in my mood. I have yet to grow anything edible. My garden is a neglected mess at the moment. Cindy, glad to hear you slept last night.

Fresh peas off the vine are pure candy. But the critters around here really like the vines too much and they don't get a chance to grow.

Gee it is already tomorrow. Nite-nite everyone---

Hello all....so good to see Angelblossom back with us.

Sun is shining and the cold is still upon us.

Good morning. A sunny and warm day here. A good day for some commercials. I am hoping this crop is better than last year's. And I hope I can stay awake for them. Football tends to make me sleepy.

it's over cast here today after of week of in the 70's not a winter here at all this year.
We just finished breakfast using raisin/cinnamon bread made into french toast YUMMY!

Good morning! Sunny here today. Hoping to get outside for a run. I hoped for that yesterday too and ended up sleeping most of the day. It's been sunny and about 60 here the last few days. Love this weather.

it is 45*F here today but it feels much warmer. It is sunny & there are no winds. Sadly I have hyacinth budding I will post pictures over in the appropriate thread.

Why is that sad, Carol? My tulips are starting to come up. Maybe next weekend I can work up the motivation to take care of the garden. I'm having trouble with motivation to do much of anything at the moment.
