A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2546 - March

Here is a new CH for us. Enjoy !

I am headed to sleep now.......................night-night everyone.

Sweet dreams all.

8:18am 3/13
Where is everyone? By now when I am looking, there are at least 3 or 4 of you awake and talking away and probably on their 3rd cup of coffee...

Well I really am not a fan of the time change, spring forward. Or let me say my body is not a fan. I am absolutely geared to the normal time and not DST. I love the late sunlight, but when I wake up at 6am, my body KNOWS it is 5am. It is really hard for me to get going and I just never seem to catch up to that hour I am missing. Oh well, I have never been an early morning person. 7 - 7:30, is fine with me, but 5am to 6:30am is for sleeping. Good thing I didn't grow up on a farm.

Well when you sleepy heads get up and read this, remember I was the first one to wish you all a bright, sunshiny and warm day!

8 am Pac
Good morning. It hasn't started raining here yet.
It is going to get cold and I can certainly tell.
I hope all have wonderful Tuesday and keep warm.

Tina, getting cold there? What temp are you getting to today? Strange weather we are having these days.

3:55PM

I had errands to accomplish today and it seems everyone else in the world needed to be every place I needed to be. I hate crowds especially when they're in my way :)

I had a 6 month exam at the doctor Friday and he prescribed an allergy med for me to take as needed. I have been so sleepy lately that on Sunday and yesterday I took a loooong afternoon nap which I rarely do. I slept until 9:20 this morning. Figured out last night. after taking it, that I've been taking the allergy med rather than my thyroid med for the last 3 days. They both start with Levo and,, as never before my thyroid medicine came in a blue bottle that has the paper stuck on top that has to be pulled off to open it (like a Motrin bottle) so I saw the Levo and figure it was the new medicine. Wrong. They are both white and scored in the middle.

It is cold and windy today and Colby has a ballgame that I'm going to try to watch. It it's too cold I'm not staying. Then it's off to book club meeting.

Yikes, I hope the med mix up didn't do any harm Sheri.

I had a busy day. Groceries, deep clean of the house and storm prep. We are supposed to get hit bad again...I need May to be around the corner.

Tina, is Teddy having issues with his knees?

It was about ten years ago that Teddy's kneecap fell off. It slid to the outside of his leg whenever he bent his leg. The right one followed about a year later.. His primary doctor decided to have him checked out again.

OH MY, do hope that Teddy is doing well.

Sunny, I hope the next anticipated storm misses you and yours.

I am soon off to sleep. sweet dreams

Teddy is fine unless he needs to walk much.
Sweet dreams all.

I am glad that the doctor follows up with Teddy...that must have been painful.

School is cancelled again...strong winds with 14 to 18 inches of snow to fall. It is going to be a good day to get some baking done. GB had a follow up hearing test that was cancelled as well. Every appt...it storms.

My mother called. She had her roof re-shingled a few years ago from damage caused by snow not being shovelled. She never learned her lesson....now she has leaks in the kitchen, living room and above a window. I am so frustrated...she is leaving her house go to ruination ad spending all her money on gambling(bingo/cards) and lottery tickets.

I am sorry, Sunny.
Good morning. Happy Wednesday to all.

9:46am

Yes I am sorry too, Sunny. I would have liked to think she would have learned the last time she had to replace her roof. Esp. since she is reminded by seeing you shovel your roof & keep things up. Oh well, I guess it is what it is.

I wish you all a bright and sunny day !

2:21 PM

We had snow flurries this morning. Very windy. Right now it's 44 but it feels so cold because of the wind.

Johnny's brother is a gambler too and doesn't have 2 nickels to rub together. He wins big sometimes but can't stop until he ends up with nothing. Sad.

11:53 pm

I am watching property brothers. Soon I will be going to sleep. Sweet Dreams !

Sweet dreams all.

Hi all.

I took a few pics to share. The first is the view of my house from the road...the second is the tunnel of how I shovel the front window to get some light...the third is the side of my house where my neighbors house is. Just giving you a peek of why I complain so much

Wow, Sunny. That's fair bit of snow.
Good morning. I hope everyone has lovely Thursday.

8:49am

Good morning! Wow Sunny. That is way too much snow. I am so sorry you have to deal with this.

It is sunny here today. We are supposed to get to 70 today. Then it will get cold once again...crazy!

2:09

oh my goodness Sunny. I can't imagine. I would be claustrophobic for sure.

I'm watching Darbi play live softball on her college website. How cool is that. It's so windy I can barely understand the announcer. Windy here too.

Sheri: That is so very cool. good for you both !!!

Sunny, That is entirely too much snow. No wonder you complain. I would too. I am just too much a warm weather person to deal with that much snow for that long.

Junie, it is going to be in the 70's here too, in fact it is right now. I have my front door open and my back door, so the air will circulate throughout the house. And like you, it will start getting cold again, but i will take it while I can.

Well i am off work now, it is 5p..need to go start dinner. Cooking something soft as my DH has an abscessed tooth and I cannot get him to go to the dentist. Crazy, i just don't understand it. About the only thing we argue about is his health and his lack of interest in doctors.

Well will check in later...Ta Ta!

Mary: The news was just on here. We will have a high of 45 tomorrow. Come on May !!!

about an hour ago I started feeling like I had a cold---Gracious I hope I do not---I have been taking Emergence and vitamin C drops since.
I really cannot be getting sick..."Grandma" cannot take cold medicine...

Good news is I have all the Easter Candy bought and aprons for the kids for egg dying.

Sweet Dreams !

Sounds like fun, Carol.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Yep, I do have a cold. But the good news is I do not feel really bad.

I am off to go grocery shopping. I wish you all a wonderful day.

I hope you get over your cold quickly, Carole.
Good morning.
Today I take the trash to the dumpster. Before the rains come back..
I'm grateful for the unusual March wet because we were looking at more drought. Now we have plenty of snow pack..
I hope everyone has wonderful, fun Friday.

Hi all.

Tomorrow I'll be gone for the day. I am helping at a Science Fair that GG has been nominated to attend. It's an hour drive and we have to be there for 8:30 am....it will make for a long day. Oh well, at least I can do the Easter shopping at Walmart on the same trip.

Have a fun weekend ahead.

Sounds like fun, Sunny. Have a blast.

Yes, Sunny have a fun & safe time.

It is raining/thundering/lightening now. I think I should say goodnight now & turn off my computer.

Catch you all later. Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams all.

2:01am

Can't sleep again....Hey James, I love the graphic ! Thanks !

Hi all, it has been years since I have been here, Turned 60 today, and the only Birthday wish in my email was from this place, you guessed it, the gardeners forum. Wanted to come and see if folks are still here. Waiting for spring. :) Kim (Ditchy)

9:35a 3/17
Hi Ditchy, glad you found your way back. A birthday wish is exactly how I found my way back too. Once your back, it is like you never left. Everyone is so nice. I see you are from MI, weather has been a big part of the conversation and I bet you can report COLD! Oh and Happy Birthday!

Yes James, don't know you, but graphics are great and thanks!

Junie, be careful, my flu started off as a cold and the funny thing about it, I didn't feel bad with it for about 2-3 days, then whamo, it hit me!

Well today is Saturday and my DH has been working on a new deck out back. Today we are going to move bushes from front yard to back. So off I go!

Have a fantastic Saturday!

8:45 am
Good late morning. morning.
I remember Ditchy. Welcome home.

2:23pm

Good afternoon !!

Yes, I remember Ditchy as ll !! Welcome back, Kim !! It is so very good to see you again !!

and Happy Birthday You are but a child !!!! We wish you a wonderful day !

Mary: James owns & runs this site now. He is a good guy. He takes very good care of us here.

You guys are so nice, Like old home. I did the facebook thing for several years and found it cold and depressing. So much anger sometimes, and really I am too old for all that. just like to talk gardening and things. I am old fashioned.
Weather has been good this winter, not bad at all, we have no snow, it was 50 today, I hope it is a gradual warm up and we do not get too warm too fast, and then get a freeze in April. happened a few years back and killed the fruit crop in most of the state.
You cannot tell the apple and peach trees that it is not time to bloom, There had been several days of 70s, end of march, then we got a hard freeze the first week of April. I like the cool springs, not too warm, but warm enough. I am itching to get out and start doing things. So nice to know this place is still around. Thanks for making me feel welcome! Kim

Sweet dreams all.
