Howdy everyone

Good Morning !

Good afternoon. Here's a pic of my fern leaf bleeding heart:

Oh my that is beautiful !!! I am so envious !

Those are the toughest perennials ever, they are smaller than the original bleeding hearts. They get a foot high, spread underground and bloom before the daffodils and until the Fall frost. I have white ones as well.

I need to start a Blooming Fine thread.

Very pretty.

Junie have you heard from dodge recently?

I have not heard from Dodge for several months. I will see if I can get in touch with her. Either way I will let you know, Sheri.

I will look for the blooming fine, Sunny.

Thanks Junie.

How is the garden coming along Bestofour?

Sunny....... you have a PM.

Sheri...I was able to get in contact with Dodge. She is well, but says she has a lot going on right now.

Good morning, GG is sick with fevers today....and so it begins.

Oh my, I am so sorry. I hope she does not "share".

No sharing as of yet....time will tell.

We are supposed to get a few dry days, my lawn needs to be cut....badly. I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow though so it can at least partially dry today.

Well there was one upside to the rain. You did not have to cut grass.

Yes but now I'll have to rake parts of it after I cut it. 3 days of heat starting today....the gardens need it.

2 inches of rain this week and it's only Wednesday and it's still raining.

Thanks Junie for checking on dodge. Good to know she's ok.

Sonny, my garden is coming along very slowly. Had a hard time getting seeds to germinate.

Feast or famine, Bestofour. I need to finish the lawn today...the flies won.

Good morning/ good afternoon.

Good morning. It is supposed to hit 100*F here today....that is just wrong.

Why yes, that is "wrong". So sorry to hear of those temperatures.

Good morning

NC had the coolest first day of summer we've had in 100 years. Today I got my first squash. Usually by this time things are almost finished because of heat. But we all know the heat will get here soon,

Well at least you are getting produce. So far, I got 1 sun sugar cherry tomato, green onions and lettuce so far. ...our "heat" will begin tomorrow.

Goodnight all.

Good morning. On my way to my Grandson's ball game today.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Have fun.

You are eating from your gardens already?? I am jealous.

I did have fun. And as this is a tournament, we will go back this afternoon...in all the heat.

We have been eating lettuce and green onions. I hope yo sff potatoes to that list soon. XD

baseball Junie? Don't ya just love it!!!

Well, Sheri...I love that they love it. And I love to see how much they improve thru the year. Having said that, I am not a big fan of sitting out in the heat in the sun.

Not a fan of sitting in the sun at ALL. I don't even like being on the beach unless I'm in the water or under a tent.

How old is he? This may be the start of a lifetime of ball games for you. Both my girls were on the ball field all the time and so are my grand children. I figure it keeps them out of trouble. Then Ginger got ALL her college paid for by an athletic scholarship and Darbi got a partial softball scholarship - so there's that opportunity too. And both of them were able to parlay the sport into paying jobs. So put on sunscreen and take an umbrella and cheer them on.

Baseball was so much fun as a kid and teen, they don't have anything like that here anymore. They used to have T-ball many moons ago for the younger ones.

Not sure what today holds but there is plenty to do before the rains start again tomorrow.

Good morning.
I wish you could share some of that rain with us, Sunny. We were supposed to get rain yesterday but that storm went well south of us instead. Now we will be dry (& hot) for several days.

The schools don't have baseball? Do they have any sports?

I couldn’t find a current blooming fine so I started one. Let me know if I should delete it.

No my grands go to a Catholic school. The kids who go there all join other local teams. My grands and the family behind our house both joined a local town's team. I have no idea if it is a school team or a town team.
The last blooming fine was 2022 so I think we were due for a new one. Thanks !

Good afternoon....where is everyone ?? I guess out enjoying the weather ?

I was here but we lost power with thunderstorms and our cable/internet did not come back until late last night. More storms for today.

Our school only has basketball as a sport, we are down to over 80 students....when I went there there was 500.

Wow that is a big drop, Sunny. Glad they can at least offer baseball.

No rain in our forecast, and the temps are to be in the mid 90's today. The following next 2 days are to be in the triple digits...

Sunny has everyone moved because of weather?

I thought Sunny had started a vegetable garden thread, couldn't find it, so put mine in the vege garden thread.

Nope, Sunny has been lagging.

Everyone has gone on vacation it seems around here. Mind you, the weather is no better in other provinces...it is either flood or fire.

Well "others" have apparently been lagging as well.

Good morning.

The humidity here is really getting to me as well as all the rain. I shouldn't complain but it would be nice if Mother Nature would spread it around a bit.

It is hard to believe that the month of June is gone already.

I agree with everything that you have just said, Sunny.

Good morning, to you all. Keep cool and keep safe.
