Day 2 of school and I already had to fight with her to get up....I am not putting up with this, this year. I told her, if you want to move in with your mother...just keep it up.

Oh no Sunny. I remember how excited Colt was when he first started school (the first day) when Ginger woke him up on day 2 he said "Oh no. Not again." And it's been downhill ever since  . He hates having to get up early. We've gotten over an inch of rain in the last week and the temps are a lot cooler. It's been so nice but the hummingbirds are getting fewer and fewer.

Oh Sunny, that is so sad. I knew there was going to be a problem. That is awfully early, BUT it is what it is. It is not like one of you picked such an early hour for the bus to come. She could always go to bed earlier......

Well, she has no choice but to learn that she will be getting up earlier if she is here, she has decided that moving to her mothers for an extra hour of sleep is not worth it.

LOL ( sorry but that made me laugh.). She will probably adjust in a bit. I am sure she is not the only one that has to get up early... So she will be able to talk to others about their plight. That may help them all to get thru.

A " cooler" morning followed by a warm afternoon/evening followed by a very coo! Night, with a string breeze. Possible thunderstorms today & tomorrow. But they have been missing the harsh weather forecasts so we will see.
Good morning !

Nice cool weather the last few days. I have a few tiny sunflowers that have buds on them. Weird.
Sunny, what time does the bus come to pick her up?

It is breezy and cool out tonight. I wish I had of gone out earlier to spend some time out in it.
Sheri I think our crazy weather has a lot of our plants all messed up.

Bestofour, the bus picks her up around 7 am, she gets to school after 8. Sunflowers here are in full bloom.
Junie, it rained all day today. I liked the easier day, I spend all day yesterday piling wood in our shed.

We had a beautiful day today..a mild breeze was common all day. I was out quite awhile watering and taking care of my raised beds and flowers. I really would have stayed out and read my book When I was done with my chores but I had apples from a local orchard. So I made individual crumb topped pies instead. Tomorrow I will make applesauce instead...

That reminds me, I have to go pick apples this week. There are 'wild' apple trees everywhere and they are loaded this year....hopefully not with worms.

Well you can pick them anyway and cut out the bad parts. Make jelly, applesauce..apple butter and make pie filling and freeze the filling. Then all you have to do is thaw the filling, make crust and you will have a yummy pie.
Good morning ( Sunday)
Good morning again.( Monday)

Enjoy Junie. It is calling for a heavy frost tonight so I gave in and harvested all my garden...except for the carrots. I'll put the green tomatoes to ripen and freeze everything else. This is the first year ever that I have had peppers turn orange or red on a plant. It was an exciting thing to see.

Tuesday: Yes about exciting to see peppers. Next year I will plant peppers in one of my big pots, and cucumbers in another. If I keep them under the eaves of my roof they will not get fried from direct sun, and I can keep them properly watered. I cannot wait ! I am so excited !! Wednesday September 11 th Good morning. I think today is one of the last "nice" days we will have for a bit and go back to having hot weather for a small while before fall officially begins. I love fall, but hate winter.

I wanted to make applesauce but I do not think the apples we bought will cook up. Perhaps I will make some pie fillings to freeze.

Worms will not eat much. Just cut out the bad parts and use the good parts. Been there, done that.

My tiny sunflowers are so cute. My weather was lovely too so I pruned shrubs almost all afternoon. Rained a little bit so I came inside but will be back at it tomorrow. I'm pulling up all but the okra plants tomorrow.

Enjoy those sunflowers Bestofour, I am enjoying mine....I planted a mixed package this year. Junie, found out that it is the full wiring to my house that needs to be replaced by the cable company. They kept changing router boxes for no reason, they are coming tomorrow afternoon. Best part is that there will be no charge to me for the upgrade.

Yay for free work. You are fortunate that they finally admitted that it was their problem.
Yay for honest internet workers.
Today is a reading day. I have a free advanced readers book addition of an author that I follow to read to see if I spot any mistakes. Later I will post a review.

Yea, it was hot here today as well. BUT I say, we should not worry about the heat...we will be in the cold weather soon enough. So I say we just be glad when we go outside that there is no snow or ice...

93*F. Wow !! We will not hit that until Friday. My sympathies to you all.
I agree about the weather. We won't see snow that soon, but it will get colder very soon.

We've had 3 & 3/4 inches of rain since Sunday night and our temps have been in the 70's. I like it.

Yes, no rain here. Perhaps I should see what needs to be done outside. Tonight I get to go see 2 of my granddaughters perform a dance routine at a halftime show at a local soccer game. That should be fun.
Good morning !
