A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2647...

Showers for today. I guess I'll tackle some indoor chores.

We are to have some fallish weather this next week with the evening temps to be in the high 50's and 60's.
What ever happened to the seasons changing slowly ? I remember going to school in the morning and needing a sweater, then coming home after school and not needing it.

I love Fall weather...but I dread what comes after.

Isn't that the truth...?? I feel the same way (about what comes after fall) and while mine is not as severe as yours, I do not care for mine either.

If it wasn't for the fact that I like to garden, I'd want Fall for 12 months of the year.

There are bad thunderstorms in our province, luckily they are just skimming underneath us....power has been out for some since last night.

If I could have fall year round, I would be willing to grow what fair weather crops that I could.

Good night every one.

Good morning. Another fall like day here.

Good afternoon, showers on and off here...it is muggy out there.

Sorry for the humidity...but I wish you could send a bit of rain to us.

Me too.

Another beautiful day here. I have to wonder if it will be back up in the 90's in a few days or just go right I to fall. I guess I will know soon enough, huh ??

We’ve had some stormy weather. I’ve got a tree blown over in the yard and a person working on cleaning it up while I’m at Ginger’s for the rest of the month. I got to MS Thursday, went straight from the airport to Colt’s football game, Friday morning was grandparents day, from there we drove 3 hours to the varsity football game, spent the night and got up yesterday morning to drive 1-1/2 hour back toward home to Colt’s baseball tournament - got back to Ginger’s last night around 8. I’ve been here less than a week and I’m exhausted.

Today I’m sitting on the screened porch watching the hummingbirds and butterflies enjoy the lantana.

Glad you were doing fun stuff while you were so busy. Busy is always better than bored after all. Sorry for the downed tree. Glad you found someone to get it cleaned up for you.

Hummingbirds, that is wonderful.
They are so restful.

Good to hear that you are at your DD's Bestofour, enjoy your trip...sorry about the tree damage.

Raining today. I got the grass cut last night, I cut it on the highest setting this time of year...one never knows when it will be the last cut of the season with the frost. I also made mustard cauliflower pickles yesterday with the last of my cukes, it broke my heart to pull the plants out of the garden last night as well....all good things must come to an end, at least I got enough to make all my preserves.

Today is a clean and mop day.

Got most of my laundry done today. Only one load left ! YAY !!

It is supposed to rain tomorrow so Indoor chores are on the agenda. Glad I got my errands done today.

Laundry. A never ending battle isn't it? I have never used my dryer in the Summer as much as I have this year.

Today is a baking day, it is supposed to be nice this afternoon though. I might get some weeding done in my flower beds if it is.

Weeding. I need to finish weeding the rock edging in the front. I do an area then wait for Rod to mulch up the pulled grass when he cuts grass. In the next few days I need to finish the edging so he can mulch that grass when he cuts grass next time.

Good morning.

I ended up skipping the baking and going outside to get some work done, the cooking can get done tomorrow when it rains.

Here is the pics of the apron, Junie.

Oh, I love it. Thank you for sharing ! It is so wonderful !

I have one something like that except yours is much fancier. You have a gathered waist area, and if I saw correctly, pockets at the bottom. Very pretty indeed.

The top corners are folded down in the top corner and tacked with a button then the bottom is folded up and sewed to have three pockets. The front is also gathered with stretchy elastic. If I can find such jumbo sized tea towels, I will be making some more. I just like the feel of it since it is so light weight.

Well If you cannot find big towels, couldn't you sew 2 or more small ones together ???

Another beautiful day here...I love fall.

I probably could, great idea.

We are getting warnings for Hurricane Lee, they say it will be a cyclone when it hits us late Friday. Guess I better get gas for the generator.

Yes, be sure to prepare for Lee. It will do no harm to be ready foe "incase".

We will be thinking of you.

We'll be fine but thank you. I will get added supplies later today just in case.

GG has joined soccer so I will get what I need when I pick her up at Supper time at school, first practice is today. They got so many donations of sporting equipment that we do not need to buy anything, I am glad of that.

Your school gets donations ? That is great !! I am sure she will enjoy it.

Yup, mostly second hand but it is still new. The kids use it for a few months than either grow out of it or drop out. It stays at the school to be used year to year, they had soccer cleat shoes without even a scuff on them. The school provides the uniform free of charge as well.

I am prepared as well as I can be for the hurricane with gas, propane and water....it is supposed to hit us Saturday night, I am going to try to get my red potatoes out of the ground as well today...they have 'died' last week, the others still have green in their stalks. The heavy rains might decay the red ones.

It is good that you are prepared for the hurricane. That must be reassuring. I hope your potatoes are ok. I am down to about 5 pounds left of mine. I think I may try to plant a bit more next year. I think I have a potato bag, may as well try using it too.

That is really nice about the game equipment. My kids got uniforms from the school, and I guess cheerleading outfits as well, but the parents got to buy all the other personal equipment, thankfully the balls & bases, etc. were provided.

Heavy rain and winds at the moment, the worst is to hit where I live in about 8 hrs time....half our province already lost power.

Keep safe my friend.

Good morning

back at you.

I am sure I answered this before but anyway, good Morning.
Another beautiful day here.

Good morning, heavy rainfall warning here....I may as well clean and mop.

Yea, and then come here and do mine...someone should. My walking friend is cleaning her house today...seems I am the only one that is not.

Well, I joined you after all. I did not get any mopping done in the end.

LOL. I did end up cleaning up some dog hair, as much as I tried not to. That and supper was all that I did really did to the house yesterday. Today I need to hand wash some dishes, make out some more paperwork for the School the kids go to, so they will allow me to pick them up when needed, then after making a list of things to pack for next month, I need to begin to clean out my storeroom and organize my Christmas gifts, and record them in my book....I have already bought a few. The storeroom thing may take several days.

Talking of Christmas, I seen my first commercial yesterday...for Disney Land. Book now to avoid the rush.

I just finished the mopping. I need to cut my lawn but it is too wet....it is supposed to be dry tomorrow so that is the plan then.

Yea, I am not worried about being caught up by the rush.

Same here.

The sun is supposed to shine and the grass is twice as long as it should be for this time of year, I may as well try tackle it later at some point. It is calling for our first heavy frost for tomorrow morning...I'll tarp my peppers and tomatoes tonight.

Sorry for the frost coming. I hope your tomatoes and peppers make it for a bit yet.

It is another day that is warming up..may get up to 90*F yet today.
