It is going to be a nice, sunny day here. It will be a good day to start some outdoor chores.

Outdoor chores..yes. It will be a record high here today. In the 90's. And I have outdoor chores to do. Oh well. I guess it will be shower time tonight.

Boy that is warm Juniegirl. At what temp do tomatoes stop producing fruit? I think that happened to me summer before last. We bought a cover but I'll have to have someone help me get it up this year. Colby is so busy I hate to ask him to help with anything so I'll have to find me someone. Ging and Chris are in MS and Colt and I are home alone They should know better than to leave us home alone!

Yes, I ordered my raised bed. 6 x 3 and 2 feet high.
It should be here Friday.....now to figure out the ratio of various soils I will need.
I was going to do some painting outdide, but Rod thinks it is too hot, so I will do it in the morning.. The kids are going to their other grandma's house tonight. i
I have no idea about when the tomatoes stop bearing heat wise. But I will buy some shredded.straw for mulch to help retain water. All I may plant this year.is.tomatoes. We.shall.see.

Bestofour, I can hear you and Colt partying from here. Junie, that is a nice size raised bed. I can see many fresh tomatoes in your future...well if you can hide them from the girls. I have set out the first line of clothes on the line this year. I shoveled out a path of the snow so it melted there first.

Yes, Sheri....I can hear the 2 of you as well. It does make me smile though.
Thanks about the raised bed. And as long as I have cherry tomatoes, the girls will leave the other tomatoes alone, So I am good. This year there will be minimal gardening. Next year there will be more planted. I will be ready then.
Ah, a clothes line...I think they are not allowed here. At least no one has any. I miss mine.

Too bad about the clothes line. I don't have one either but I'd hate for all my clothes to be covered in pollen. 81° and no snow here Sunny

Nothing has 'bloomed' here yet for pollen dust....but it will by the end of the month.
I'll have the last of the yard clean up finished by the end of day.

I have a couple of daffodils that bloomed, some are in bud and some are just poking through the ground. I completed the yard work yesterday...I am prepped for planting when the time arrives.

GB was here for the day, I caught him throwing rocks all over the yard that I had just taken DAYS to rake. Why do some kids do the opposite of what they are told???
I told them if a window gets broken from a rock where I cut grass then he's getting a replacement window for his birthday and Christmas from me. He was shocked....then proceeded to look for the rocks.

OMG Junie, he was trying to 'test' me all day yesterday. He spent most of the day sulking but I didn't give in once to him....I told him I was getting to be to old for the nonsense that they pull.
Today I have to take an hour or two to look through all the sales and make a large shopping list for tomorrow's outing. I will be doing a lot of 'store hopping' to get the best deals that I can.

Ah that sounds like a plan..(the making a list of all the sales) I hope you enjoy the day out. I hope that you will get something special for you. You deserve it.
So sorry about the "testing" that GB was doing. I think that he might just be of the age where they begin such as that. I think you handled it perfectly.

Thanks about GB.
Yes, sales and planned trips are the usual but have now become a 'must' with the fact that it is an hour to town and an hour back with gas over $8 a gallon. I wish DH would trade one of the trucks for a car.
I'll be gone all day.

As I have heard before...be careful what you wish for...
We got to the edge of the place where the ferry would take us to Kentucky from Missouri.( The ferry was for me, as I love using this ferry...not to mention it cuts off a lot of distance in our travel) Well a guy comes up and tells us that the ferry does not run on Tuesday and Wednesdays now. Mind you there was nothing on the Ferry's FB page and on their internet site is says they are open ,7 days a week with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.. so we drove forever to go over the one bridge there was in the area, to where we used to go..and to see the Tornado that hit in Tiptonville, Tennessee in December of 2021. (Reel foot Lake area) It flattened the resort there ( really just a fisherman's retreat) and a restaurant that was across the street...the food was simple but very good....Now all gone ! Then a lot of the tops of really old Cypress trees were gone. Good news is many homes that had popped up along the Reel foot Lake we're uneffected. So we came home, and Rod took me out to eat for supper in the evening. Nothing fancy but hey, I did not have to cook it or clean up after it, so yay ,!

Sounds good Junie. I re-fixed the old strawberry plants but noticed I forgot to buy peat moss to plant my blueberry shrub. I need to start writing my 'need' list on my hand when I go shopping. I am heading out to service the lawn mowers. I am hoping DH sharpens the blades....I just can't get the knack of it.

He said they did not need sharpening so I guess he can do it next year...by himself.
