A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2654

Now there is a good idea..thanks for the idea.

Overcast just now..but I think it will get warm again this afternoon.

I'm at a friends house in Georgia. Next week we're going to Amelia Island, Florida for the week. Hope it's not too hot or rainy. I'm like Goldilocks - I want it just right. Is that too much to hope for:

Sunny it is almost fall so I guess pumpkin loaf is in order.

Yes about pumpkin loaf. Around here the pumpkin spice items have just began to surface. I guess fall is coming no matter if we are ready or not.

Good morning !!

Happy Fall y'all.

Back at ya ma dear

Good morning !

Good afternoon, cold and rainy here...for a few days ahead.

I'm not a fan of pumpkin stuff except pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread with whipped cream. You might call it pumpkin loaf. I ate pumpkin soup once just to be polite and hope to never do that again.

My friend has already decorated her house for fall. I just can't do it when it's still hot.

I love pumpkin stuff. Today I ordered a sampler.box of teas from the Bigalow company. Oddly enough there will be a few pumpkin spice tea bags. So yay !! And FYI I will share with my daughter. This way we can both try the new " flavors" of teas.

Happy Thursday.

Helene is in my yard. More to come tomorrow.

Stay safe.

Helene is sure playing havoc to everyone. Gracious.

Good morning

Praying you are o.k. Bestofour, the news has been devastating. I cannot imagine having to deal with such a mess.

My power was off for about 35 hours along with my internet but thankfully the generator had enough gas to keep me going. My mother is 16 miles from Asheville and my nephew and his family live in Asheville and we didn't hear from them for a while but finally got news that they are ok. No power or internet but alive and dry which is saying more than what a lot of people are experiencing right now. This nephew has a dental practice in Asheville and it may be underwater at the moment. Another nephew is an MD at Novant Health and is in the Army reserves and got a call that he needed to pack a bag because he was being deployed to Old Fort, NC, so he was helicoptered in to there yesterday. A building with 200 people inside had collapsed. He was able to contact his wife at some point and said it's total chaos. I've been busy picking up sticks and limbs from my yard but doing well. Glad you guys are ok.

Oh my such happenings. Glad you and yours are ok. Stay safe. Thanks for letting us know.

I am glad you are o.k. Bestofour, they were gathering men that work at the power plant(linesmen) in our province to go South to help.

Yep we had several of our linemen go down south to halp as well. Many handsome light work

Asheville, GA where Ginger used to live, and other areas are a mess. My area, thankfully not so bad but some people still don't have power. I've been picking up branches and sticks for days now but only actually lost a few small trees and shrubs to the wind.

It seems that N.C. got it worse than what Florida was expecting. Have you ever seen storms such as that before from hurricanes in your area?

I spent the day outdoors today, Fall chores have begun.

Glad that you are OK, Sheri.

Goodnight all.

I woke up to 32*F and FROST...it was so thick that it looked like a dusting of snow.

Oh my, I am SO sorry to hear that. But I guess it had to happen, huh ?

Yup, now the leaves seem to change overnight. I love Fall.

Hurricane Hugo came through in 1989 and wiped everything out for weeks. It came another way though and it was Charleston SC and Savannah Ga that I remember as being hit harder than we were. Took 21 trees down in the yard.

Those Hurricanes and Tornados and all the various weather types that we have are surely scary. I just pray for us all.

Goodnight to everyone.

SPAMMER on board.

Jeepers Bestofour, I am so glad that you are o.k.

Today I will be cleaning my oven, those apple pies made a real mess. I thought having a self clean would be better but than you can't stand the smell and smoke so the old spray and wipe is the way I guess.

The leaves seem to be changing colors overnight.

I think I got him and his other 20 accounts...

Jeepers, he really tried.

Gracious, he surely did..

Good night all !

They can be pretty persistent some times for a cleanup that's one button press lol

I'd didn't even know a spammer was hanging out here. thanks for cleaning it up James.

Sunny the leaves are falling here too. I can't keep the yard cleaned up but it's this way every year. So sad about the NC mountains because this is the time of year tourist flock there to get apples and see the beautiful colors. Even if businesses are still standing they'll be taking a financial hit.

I leave the house when I self clean the oven. It is a horrible smell but sure is easier than doing it myself

I used the self cleaning option of my stove not too long ago. You can run it 2 or 3 hours. And I must say I was not happy about the level of clean that I was left with. ( It was a real mess though) IMO a second cleaning is called for.

Goodnight everyone

I like the manual spray oven cleaners best...the aerosol kind is awful.

We are having a rainy few days.

Manual spray oven cleaner ?? Please explain.

Good morning.

Junie I means the cleaner in the spray can.

Florida is bracing for another hurricane. Oh no.

I ran a bunch of errands today. Trying to get everything done before I go to Ginger's on Wednesday.

I would have called that an aerosol kind
??

Have fun at Gingers.

It is in a spray bottle that you have to manually pump...no aerosol.

I have friends who are in Florida and should be evacuating but aren't. I don't understand why. They'll most likely be without water, electricity, cell service. They can't protect their belongings. I just don't understand.
