A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2574...

All fresh and new.

We are getting such heat here with thunderstorms....August has come early.

Good morning. Thank you for this new CH, Sunny. All fresh and bright.

Good morning !
THanks, Sunny this new CH is perfect !

The weather here is oppressive as well. It was so hot, VAlarie and I pushed the kids around the farmer's market teice, got some drinks and left. I did get some fresh veggies but if it had not of been so hot, I would have also got some homemade cakes, breads and Things like Lasagna. It was so hit that I could not think of food though. And poor Rod thinks that he is grilling out for supper...oh my !

Hello.

The heat has yet to quit. Thankfully we are forecast to get cooler temps like next Monday or Tuesdsy. I cannot wait.

Going to sleep soon.
Nite-nite everyone.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

There is a little fair where DD lives this weekend, apparently the hot weather is keeping the people away. I am not going either...the kids aren't used to this heat.

It's a good day to stay in and play with play-doh...tell Rod that GB is grilling orange pork shops today

Yes it is far too hot for children never mind us grown-ups. You have to wonder when this is going to stop.

I told Rod about the grilled pork chops. I hope he has enough to share.

Happy Sunday everyone.

There's green banana bread to go with those pork chops as well Junie

I got DD to make a Walmart order for me for GG's birthday. She now knows her gifts are hidden in my room(on the top shelf in my closet)....it's going to be a long few weeks of me being tormented by her. She kept asking for one of those Hatchimal things that were $100 at Christmas and I refused....here we are a few months later and they were down to $29 on clearance. I hope she is as excited for it as she would have been then.

It's national ice cream day. Dive in!

Green banana bread..my favorite ! LOL

Now that is a sale ! Good for you ! I am sure your GG is going to be happy, Sunny.

I think a nap is calling my name !

Green bananas, Teddy's favorite!

I'll take ice-cream with that Tina as well.

Storming and raining here again...we got 1-1/2 inches this afternoon..we will see how much we get this time.

I was going to sleep, but so guess I will wait until this round of weather is done first.

I will bid you all goodnight now though.

Sweet dreams, Carol.
I shopped today. Although he's no longer in school, I still am on a school schedule. So Teddy is ready for winter. He is so hard on his clothes that I need to get a full rig for him. So he will be set until they fall apart around next spring/summer.

It's good to keep a routine Tina...it keeps us from being in a rush at the last minute. I am glad that Teddy is ready for the year...I hope you treated yourself to something as well

Junie, I hope the weather calms down for you. Rain is good but too much at one time is not.

I've got lots of laundry to tackle today and a house that could use a good cleaning from sticky grandkids

I agree with Sunny, Tina. Glad you got that shopping done.

When you get done with your house, come on over and do mine, Sunny. There is cake and coffee as payment.

I want to get on that list too.
Good morning. Not much on my list today but keeping cool.

Afternoon, I just cleaned my house, well hubby vacuumed for me, my hand is giving me fits at the moment... carpel tunnel acting up.... got a fruit salad to make for the boys, it's more dessert that salad but they really like it...LOL! modified a recipe from pintrest… , got to think of something for dinner too.. it's hot here to but supposed to rain today so will cool down we hope... one of the boys and I went to see the new Lion King yesterday, it was good... now want to see old one to see how close it was to it..

Well off to cut up fruit and think of what to make for dinner too... seem like all I do is make meals … forgot how much teenagers eat!

GG wants to go see the new Lion King movie as well, they watch the old one quite often on the dvd player.....It only starts playing here next week.

My house is de-stickified and the line is full. I love hanging laundry on the line...nothing beats the smell of air dried sheets and blankets.

Funny story: Earlier in the day I could hear the chickens making such a noise that I thought one of them was hurt. I go out to check on them and GG's new kitten is in the cage with them. I started to yell at 'Ginger' to get out and it ran through the bottom. I put wheels on the cage this year to make it easier to push around....I never even thought about the fact that the kitten could get in to the small space in the front that the wheels made. So guess who had to re-modify it to fix the space? I'm not sure who was scared the most..the chickens of the kitten or the kitten of me

A chicken tractor! I considered getting chickens a few years ago but decided the other critters around here would kill them all off. So saved myself the destruction and heartache.

Sweet dreams all.

Tina, I was worried about critters and the chickens as well. I built the cage with 2x6's for extra strength....and luckily snakes are not a problem here so it has been good so far. I move it and clean all debris so it keeps the smell from forming.

We have an older farmer friend in need of some help for a bit(health problem), so he dropped his horse off to us for a few weeks...it is the biggest Belgian I have ever seen. He weighs well over a tonne. A gentle giant...I wish he was ours.

It is a cooler day today...we start making hay tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Good morning. It is national gorgeous grandmother day. Think think I'll celebrate national vanilla ice cream day instead.

Well Tina I will celebrate both with ice cream ! LOL!

Hubby had a problem with his truck yesterday. had to have AAA tow it to repair shop... so today I am 400 bucks poorer, but truck is fixed..now I have to go with him to drive my car home while he drives truck home...Lucky me!

Well off to see if I remember how to drive... have a good day all!

Nana

Wet t-shirt weather.

Carol was a no-show today. I hope everything is OK her way.
Sweet dreams all.

Oh No! Now I'v lost everyone!
Good morning.

Nana raises hand here I am.... got up and made breakfast for us and boys... made extra bacon for later, will have to do it again tomorrow... boys can eat!

It is warm here but I need to go to wally world and get some stuff, Carrie and Jon will be here sometime this weekend so have to stock up again... always something... we had a nice thunderstorm yesterday and last night... Yay for not having to water for a day or two... !

Well better get busy and go before it gets any hotter outside....LOL!

Nana

Sorry, I'm here....we are cutting our hay.

I hope Junie is o.k. She had a virus/bug on Monday.

I'm glad you ladies showed up. I would have felt very bad if you weren't here and I was joking about it. L hope Carol gets well soonest.

I don't have Facebook....maybe someone could message her there???

I don't have FB anymore, either. I will say good night now and hope she shows up tomorrow.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Today is national hot fudge sundae day. The idea of anything hot is repugnant. I'll skip the fudge.
I hope Carol comes in today.

I'll take that sundae...hot or not

We are cutting the last fields of hay today...it will be a busy next few days.

Junie, where are you?

I am so sorry Ladies. I thought it was a simple 24hr virus that I caught from the grandkids...But alas 3 days into it I went to a walk in clinic and yep it was step throat just like my DH thought. I still cannot be up much but at least now I have antibiotics to fight it with.

Thanks for the concern. I will be back as so can.

P.S. Don't catch this, please.

Oh, I am sorry, Carol. Get well quickly!

Oh my, I hope you feel better soon....strep is awful.

All our hay is cut...it takes longer to service the equipment than to cut it. Tomorrow it will need to be raked then then we bale it Saturday.

I am glad it's all cut, Sunny. Praying that the rest goes smoothly.

Thanks Tina.

I just turned on the weather channel...they are calling for a chance of frost tonight.

Gosh, such high temps then frost! Will your hay dry well ?

My headache is a bit better, as is my tonsils. But it is still far from over.
