A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2627...

We went through the cat food shortage this spring, mind you we have barn cats so they aren't fussy. I found some at a box store and bought enough to last awhile.

I am waiting for laundry to dry then will head out and tie up the last of the shrubs. GG has home school for 6 hours a day so we'll go out at her 'recess time'.

Wow ! 6 hours a day ! So a full day's worth. Good for her.

I am not doing much more than I have to. I have a cold, and I am hoping if I rest, it will go away sooner.I

Goodnight. Sleep well everyone.

Sweet dreams all. I have been in and reading but have very little to say. I am easily distracted by just about everything.

Good Morning ! Not to worry Tina. I can understand that you have nothing to add..but seeing you say good morning or good night lets us know all is well with you. And that is the main thing.

Tina, we are glad to see you check in.

We are getting a cold day today. GG has baking to do for her Home Economics class so I'll put her to work warming up the house.

Home ec was fun. I loved all of it. Even the bookwork. The cooking came easily because I was already cooking regularly for the family.

Good morning you all.

Good afternoon, GG is having a meltdown today....it is going to be a long day. She is refusing to do her 'group' work online with the rest of the class....it is always something to drive me nuts it seems.

So sorry for GG' s meltdown. I guess we all deal with this virus in different ways.

My Grandson thinks to go over his spelling words once is plenty good. Never mind that it was thursday night and he had no cue how to spell several of the words. I guess we were all there...ie of school age and not really wanting to do the work, huh ??

Good night, sweet dreams you you all.

Junie, kids are spoiled these days.

I have all the outdoor Fall/Winter prep finished, snow can fall at any time.....not that I want it though.

Yes, I guess they are spoiled, Sunny.

Rod is finishing up the tree trimming this morning. I do not want to look, as he is always over- zealous in his trimming..but then I am not going to do it, so.......

Good Morning

What kind of trees Junie? I am thankful I do not have to deal with the overgrown firs and spruce in my yard anymore, the only thing left is to burn the stumps in the spring.

They lifted our lock down last night. I couldn't believe that they held a large craft sale near here this afternoon, I always went the other years but I wouldn't dare with Covid. I was told that you couldn't put another vehicle in the yard....I can see another lock down soon.

A chinese elm I think it is, we only have 2 more trees besides it and they are not the size to trim yet...and he was going to trim some bushes that are up against the house.

Yes I agree about the craft fairs. I miss going to them, but now is definitely not the time to be doing things like that.

Chinese Elms are beautiful....we don't have those here either.

Thanks, Sunny. I too think it is a nice looking tree.

Good night..sweet dreams to you all.

Well, here I am. Happy first day of time change..

Yes, clocks are all changed here....batteries in smoke alarms as well.

We just changed the basement smoke alarms last month (upstairs alarms are wired in)..but the clocks are changed now as well.

I have a very low battery 🔋 power left so I will say goodnight now. If I can come back in I will.

Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Most of the unions around here are still striking...another week of home schooling is ahead.

Good morning. Sorry that the strikes are continuing, Sunny.

It is sunny today..and in the high 60's.

It is 57*F out there right now.

Uh, that is wonderful, Sunny.

I know and it is calling for the same temp tomorrow....it is like September outside.

That is great ! Take advantage of it !!

Im wearing a sweat shirt at the very least if it is under 70*. I'm a wimp about cold anymore.
Sweet dreams all.

That is ok..IMO there are a lot of using the same boat around here.
Goodnight.

Sweet Dreams everyone. Sleep well.

Tina, my husband is the same...he can't take the cold at all. It is the leading cause of our arguments in Winter, he puts more wood in the stove and I open the windows a little more. I wear a tank top and capris in the house here all Winter.

Oh my, we should trade husbands, Sunny. Mine is like you. I have to wear a house coat to bed in the winter or I freeze. Then I need to wear sweaters and jackets in the house during the day. In the summer I need to be by a fan or go to the basement during the day. As he likes the house warmer then.

I still say people should fill out forms to be allowed to date. This was my stance long before online dating. I often think of the money I might have made if I had of known how to make that a real thing back in the day.

Good Morning !!

Too funny about the 'form' Junie, I told DH that people should have a written contract to use when arguing about life.

Johnny and I both like it a little bit chilly but not freezing. My girls, on the other hand AND their husbands, like it freezing in their houses. I can barely stand it. I stay in my bedroom a lot when I go to Ginger's because I have an electric blanket on my bed and I just keep my coat on the rest of the time and at Shelley's. 60° inside is too cold for me.

We've had a few cool days but it's warming back up and the ladybugs and the wasps are out.

I must say it would best if both parties had the same likes and dislikes in regards to "weather" indoors. THAT should also be a question on the form.

Man a Contract would be really hard to write up. You don't know what will drive you crazy six months in. Or 12 years etc,
Sweet dreams all.

You are right Tina..but we could always add amendments, right ??

Sweet Dreams

Good morning, it is a cooler day today so I think I'll tackle some housework. GG has a full day of projects to complete as well, homeschooling is going well but she can't wait for the strikes to be over so she can go back to seeing her friends in person.

I can see where that is a problem for her, Sunny. I will hope the home schooling ends so on.

It is sunny and pretty outside. A walk would be nice.

A walk sounds nice. I spent the day cleaning and mopping...it was damp outdoors.

Covid cases are rising again in our province.
