A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2593....

All fresh and new.....coffee is on.

I am sitting here watching snow/sleet fall.

No snow here. Just very windy and has been for weeks. A breeze is nice but this wind is getting old.

I picked up Colt yesterday. Maybe I'll just keep him.

Good morning. I hope to stay awake today and get a few things done.
How does Colt feel about that, Sheri?
I hope this is your last snow, Sunny.

Good morning !

Sunny, thanks for the coffee and the new CH ! Sorry for the snow ❄/ sleet.

Sheri..nice to see you, have fun with having Colt there with you.
...........I think the weather is messed up for us all....anymore I figure we get what we get. I wish our weather and everything else would go back to " normal" though.normal

TIna...perhaps just a "me" Day is in order. Don't donut unless it would make you happy to do it.

Nothing like a grandkid to keep you on your toes Sheri

GG is doing a school STEAM project at the moment....rock candy. I hope it works, I hate to waste pantry staples....it uses two cups of sugar.

I cleaned and mopped today...the snow has finally stopped.

It's hard to mess up rock candy, Sunny. But I agree to the food waste when times are so iffy.
May your snow be over until next season.

The rock candy should work. Do let us know how it turned out please.

Very tired, hoping that I will get a good night's sleep tonight.

Sleep well my friends. G'nite.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

Good morning. How eerie, I just said good night.

Good morning, Tina...did that help....Rod has coffee going...

I'll take some coffee.

GG dumped a 500 piece puzzle on the table then looked at me shocked by how much work it is going to be

Well, I hope she;s doing well with that, Sunny. Sounds fun.

Hummm, so she dumped it on the table huh ?? Sounds as if supper is going to be eaten on the couch...A 500 pc puzzle does sound like fun...but it will take her a long time....

Wow Sunny... sounds like my grands, they begged for a 1500 piece puzzle last summer and then had to go home before it was finished,,, hubby finished it and said he would put it out again this yr for them but looks like it may be next before we get another visit... who knows maybe the heat will kill the virus but sure not counting on it... at least I have a portable table
(was my Mom's) that we can do puzzles on to keep it out easily.

Well not much happening here in sunny AZ.. it's really hot and I told hubby I needed air on if he expected any cleaning or cooking done by me... over 100 and I don't move much....
He turned it on and now I can breath , even mopped my kitchen! LOL!

Well off to make a couple more masks and then put my machine back together... it's 8 ft wide when I open it all the way so takes up a lot of room in my ofc space... I will have enough masks made that we can wear and wash in between … or go out a couple times if we have to....

Stay well my friends....

Nana

Sounds good, Sherri. I want washable masks but tie on, no elastic around the ears.

Yes, We have a box of disposable masks in the house, but I would like some that I could throw into the washing machine. If I could ever get out to buy a sewing machine, I would make my own...my cousin says it is not hard...

Sweet dreams all.

Goodnight Tina..sleep well.

I think I will be staying up.

The sun is shining and today will be a melting day. I am going for a window visit with GB today......I have to make a pick up at the hardware store for DH, so both will get done on the same trip.

They are calling for a snow storm for Mother's Day here....it never ends.

Well, that sucks, Sunny. I command that the snow ends for you!

Gracious, that is just wrong..I hope the forecasters are mistaken. Have a fun visit with GB. I think I need to start doing those with my grands. I know I would like it.

Tina, I hope your command is followed !

I move to make Tina the new Mother Nature Any one second the motion?

We found out that our local hardware store is closing at the end of the month....for good. It has been passed down through 3 generations with no one wanting to continue it. It's a sad day for us all.

Me, pick me, I will second the
motion!

Oh no ! I am so sorry. I know how you feel though, growing up We had a local hardware store that had plants, seeds, and kitchen items one could buy for shower gifts and such...the father passed and it closed...

I have seen so many stores of many kinds close over the years. It is so sad. Every time.
I also think that ours stores and restaurants, etc, will not all reopen from all of this. It will be interesting to see our world post-covid.
I am not running to become Mother Nature at this time (or any time). Too much responsibility.

Well, that is disappointment, but sure..if you don't want to then I can understand it LOL

.goodnight Sweet Dreams.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

The sun is shining....it's a good start.

Raking the bare spots on the lawn is the plan for today.

Good morning. Bare spots are good in your yard, Sunny. I almost couldn't grt up in time to get to the bathroom this morning. My legs are killing me. Well, not killing but failing.

Oh my that does not sound good. I hope the legs improve, Tina.

Yes, Sunny, bare spots are good. A nice start to your spring/ summer.

Rainy here but as I hear birds, I guess the rain has stopped for a few.

Good Morning.

I hope your leg trouble is not an everyday issue Tina.

I hear birds too Junie, can I send them to your house?

Oh, my legs and knees have been degrading for several years. I cannot rise from a sitting position with out a handhold around. One for each side. So no getting up with something in my hand. Today is just a bad day. I'm officially. old

yea, Tina,,there is a lot of that getting old stuff going around....I pulled a huge flower pot around outside and my back was hurting for 30 minutes...This aging thing is sure not for sissies that is for sure.
Perhaps when the weather gets dry and hot your legs will do better....take care.

It's been over 100 degrees for the last couple of days and cooled down to 91 today. Heat is not helping.
Actually it does help better than cold weather. Just a bad day.

Sweet dreams all.

I hope today brings a better day to you Tina

We are getting a bad snow storm moving in with damaging winds....just when over half my lawn was melted out. I'm going to hide until tomorrow

Good morning.

I hope today is better for you, Tina.

Here is a cool day but I will go out and uncover my plants in a few ..it was sure easier to do last night since I had the Really large pots. I hope we do not have anymore if this after I plant the tomatoes out....

I will go out and work on the grass under my blackberries today. I sure hope it warms up.

I hope it warms up for everyone. It is cooling off here for mother's day tomorrow.

Well it is in the 50's. But no grass to rake..and the BlackBerry edging I have already done, looks as if I did not touch it..I need to go back to the drawing board...perhaps paper or cardboard as a barrier before I put down grass clippings....humm!.

Your grass is really invasive isn't it?

This storm is kicking butt....half the province has no power. It looks like the middle of January out there.
