A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2532

Good morning. That was hard, I have a very sticky two and it just doesn't want to work.
It is supposed to be well over a hundred here today. And through the weekend. I am thankful every day for my cooler. And fans.
Have a great Friday everyone.

Sorry, Tina--I will try to watch closer in the future so you do not have to use your 2 so much.

105 today with heat indexes of 110 to 115.
Supposed to cool off on Sunday & be 99 or 100. You know it is bad if 100 is cooling off.

I have my own errands to run today. Now to watch the car in this heat.

No, I was just grousing. I can live with a sticky 2. I just have to hold it down awhile. Just gave me something to complain about besides the weather..

well THAT is the truth, we all need something to take our minds off of the weather...

it is way past my bedtime.

Sweet Dreams to you all.

Sweet dreams.

Hi all.

Tina, 115* is just wrong...I'd die in such heat.

We have a strange cold front moving in....I wish I could share with all of you. Today will be a mowing, weeding and weed whacking day.

We spent the day yesterday rebuilding a hay trailer....the frame from old mining pipes and the rest from cut trees that we sawed into planks with a chainsaw. It's amazing what one can do when you have no money for anything else

Good morning. Your makeshift hay trailer sound good, Sunny. It is amazing what we can do out of necessity.
I need to trim some hair today. For myself and my dude. I may do that today and change up the bedding and such. Going to bed tonight will feel wonderful.
I hope everyone has a great day

Fresh bedding is wonderful.

I got the outdoor chores completed. Time for a break while supper cooks.

It was in the 90's here all week, even reached 100....tonight they are saying temps will dip in the 30's and for us to be aware of a chance of frost. This happened a few years ago as well, we got frost every month. I'll have to tarp the garden this evening.

Wow that is something----from the 90's + to the 30's....ya gotta wonder what we are doing to the environment.

Yes fresh bedding sounds wonderful, Tina, YAY for you!!!

Very hot here today....my heat gauge says only around 96.....can you imagine ?/ the words only & 96 in the same sentence ??

Yes, we are only in the upper 90's too. And it feels downright refreshing. But at these temps every degree counts.

well, I was wrong. The official high today was 107 or 108. (Rod heard one temp I heard the other) broke some record or other. if it had of gotten to 109 it would have broken a record here set way back in 1954.

I had a nice 2 hour nap.

it might rain, & it might storm tonight--cold front moving thru. supposed to be only in double digits tomorrow. we will see.

I watered tonight--so there is a good chance it will rain.

I just heard thunder..so I think I will turn off the computer...
g'nite & sleep tight...

Sweet dreams, Carol. I am off to bed in a little while.Keep safe.

Good morning. It is Sunday. I can't believe how fast/slow this month is going. It seems to be zipping by and dragging at the same time,
No plans today. I'll just see what's happening. I hope everyone has a great day.

last night there was lightening & thunder. then it finally began to rain...after 3:30 am. not that I was sleeping much. Rod said we only got like 1/8 of an inch. I think we got more than that (from what I heard) but it was so windy the rain didn't make it into my gauge.

I got a 2 hour nap again.....

It has gone slow this week, we talked to our realtor this week, we will have it up for sale within the net two weeks... have a little more fixing to so, replacing a closet door in office , can't be a bedroom unless it has a closet door....

I packed up about half my records today, finding boxes they will fit in isn't easy...most are either to big or not high enough..
I have finally been able to get in and out of bathtub on my own now too, I love to take a bath and not being able to was a real pain, foot is doing okay now, still hurts if I don't keep it up a lot but easier to get around, only use the cane when we go out, balance isn't quite right yet.

After we get house up for sale we will go down and rent and apartment , put most of our stuff in storage down there, evidently we can do most of paperwork online now. . only have to be here for the actual closing.

Timothy came over today and is helping hubby build a step for the deck, still hoping to get it stained but it's been to hot or raining... we will leave the stain for new people if we can't get it done... LOL!


Well better go and see if I can pack something else...
Nana

Sounds like you are really zipping along, Nana. I am so glad you're healing well.

Hi, Nana !!

Good to see you again. Sounds like you both have things figured out. I hope things keep moving along for you.

Sweet dreams all.I'm beat.

Good night, TIna.

It was supposed to rain again this evening, & it was cloudy so I did not go out & water, So far it is dry.....

I too am headed to sleep. Sweet Dreams from me as well.

Mother Nature is confused, girls...we have frost warnings two days in a row

It is so much cooler here..we cut two more fields of hay

I was gone all day yesterday...I have an Uncle who started taking seizures. We spent the day at the hospital with him.

Yes Mother nature is WAY confused....But glad for the 2 cut fields of hay !!!

Sorry to hear of your Uncle, Sunny. I hope he is better soon.

Cooler temps here today--well by cooler I mean like 91+. But hey, it is not 108,,,,,

Good morning.
Saying prayers for your uncle, Sunny.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Well, with persistence I have all of my phone calls finished, and information collected.....the last one will call me back between 8 & 8:30 tomorrow morning.

Good Morning, Tina.

I am soon on my way to do a Wal-mart run. I too wish everyone a great day.

The seizure's were an allergic reaction to new meds they said...hopefully so.

House is mopped, supper has been had and cleaned up...tomorrow is a 'make and pick up' hay day. It'll be a long, long day.

I did not go to Wal-mart...I didn't want to rush around so I did some book work instead.

make sure you all keep hydrated, Sunny.

Tomorrow is Tuesday !!!! & probably Rod's last day at work for awhile. We are fairly sure that he is going to get laid off tomorrow.

I am going to watch my story now & then probably go to sleep. G'nite everyone !

Oh, I hope you will be OK with the lay-off, Carol.
Sweet dreams all. I didn't do much of anything today. Just paperwork and trying to get that under control.
I hope everyone wakes well.

Have a good time at ceramics today, Carol.
Good morning. I don't know what I'll do today. But something will get done.
I hope everyone has a great day.

back home from ceramics, went to lunch with the girls, and had a nap--all in all a good day,

I am so glad you enjoyed ceramics ans lunch, Carol.
Sweet dreams all. I never napped today. So I'm exhausted tonight.

Hello.

I just finished balancing the check-book. Another job done--YAY !!!

Now I am wide awake & there is much I need to do tomorrow & need to sleep well...oh well..perhaps I shAll read for awhile--that usually helps.

Sweet Dreams everyone.

Hi all.

I am all hay'd out....farming sure ain't for sissy's.

I just scraped paint off two old wooden wagon wheels I found in the old scrap pile....they are two different sizes. I am thinking of putting them against the house where I have clematis planted. They were just too cute to leave go to ruination.

I also have an early supper going because I promised to take the grands to the splash park that opened in town. They built it to honor the two little boy's that died from the snake incident.

Have a good one.

Good thinking with the wheels, Sunny. That should be lovely.
Good morning. I had an awful night of sleep. I slept but woke often with dreams. Ugh!
I will be napping today.

Yay for water parks, Sunny. I am sure the Grands will LOVE it....and spending time with them is always a good thing, I am sure !!

I would LOVE to see photos of the wagon wheels when they are where you want them, and they are ready for display.

So sorry for the lack of sleep Tina. I hope you do get your nap.

I did and feel much better for it. Thank you, Carol.

Your welcome, Tina. We need yo take care of each other, right???

It is thundering, we can hope the rain comes with it.

Sunny, I don't remember the snake incident. Also would like to see the wagon wheels.

Junie, did Rod get laid off? Hope it's for a short time when it happens.

My best friend, Silvia (she went to Jamaica with me to Ginger's wedding) son, who was living in her house, has been arrested for 2nd degree murder due to a drug deal. It's so horrible.
