Yes it happens. Anyway not to worry.
The weather here feels like fall. Warm but not sticky hot or humid. This is my idea of summer, for sure !!!

We could use some rain. Tomatoes and cucumbers are definitely finished but okra and squash are still doing great.

Yes about the tomatoes. I bet mine will be done by the time I get home tomorrow. I hope we have a few so we can have BLT's with nice tomatoes one more time.
Good night to you all.

If I could I would come over, Sunny. If only to visit.
I bought one tomato, & I had I garden tomato. I have a few green ones yet and one larger one that should be ready to eat on Friday. Then I have a few large cherry tomatoes. It is supposed to begin to get warmer next week Much warmer. I assume my green ones will get ripe yet.

Good morning.
While the nice days are numbered, today started out in the 60's. "They" say next week the heat and the humidity will be back. Good thing I have most of my yard work done.

Well I was wrong. I brought in 3 very nice cucumbers today and there are a few more out there. We're going back up to 93° next week.

Yes, our temps are headed back to the high 90's next week with triple digit heat indexes. Nor looking forward to that. This last few weeks have been great !! I suppose those temps will help ripen my green tomatoes though. Mind you I will be out watering a lot.
And yay to you Sheri ,!! Enjoy your fresh cucumbers. I "will' be planting cukes next year !!

I spent the day yesterday fixing drywall in GG's room, she put those sticky hooks up everywhere. You know what happens when you try remove them? You get big patches of torn wall. I plan to paint today and she better never, ever use those again.

Well, I am surprised. Those hooks are supposed to come off clean. Sorry this happened. Nails are easier to deal with. After painting one can just reuse the nails. I figure if you wanted to hand something where the nail was before, you can just hang something there again.

These were hooks from the dollar store not the good ones. Oh well, I finally got the room all painted. I have to say, I really like the grey. It is raining today but tomorrow I will take the dressers outside and paint them. Not sure I'll like the purple though.

A lilac might be the way to go..???? However, if I lived with bright yellow, you will get thru having purple furniture, right ??

Sunny, what kind of paint are you using on the furniture? And are you putting some type of polyurethan on it so it doesn't scratch? I want to paint a headboard and nightstand.

Bestofour, it is a quart of cabinet/furniture paint...just a local hardware brand(Home Hardware) but it has not let me down yet, even on kids furniture. It is a thicker kind of paint than a wall paint and goes on great with those small foam rollers. I have not ever had the need to poly over it. It dries rock hard.
Junie, it is a smoky, medium purple color....looks a lot better on the dresser than in the can. I done the first coat this morning.

We went from extreme heat to a chance of frost this morning, we were one degree over frost so the garden lives again for another day. What crazy weather this year. Junie, painting is all completed....today is the 'try fit' everything back in the room day.

So let her.
IF it was in the room before and she can fit it back in then let her.
However:
I had a friend who pitched 3 pieces of clothes at each season.
She reasoned if she did that she could get say 3 different things for that season..perhaps you could get her to get rid of some things with that philosophy ?

GG is a hoarder like my mother and DD, they just can't part with things. It's not like it is going in the garbage...it gets donated to the church for the battered women's shelter. I could throw out everything and be happy about it, I think I was adopted at times. I gave her a cardboard box and told her it had to be filled with items....it is 1/3 filled so far.

My mom, my sister and my brother are like you, Sunny. I am like my Grandma and my dad. We keep most things. It seems that every time I get rid of things, I need whatever I pitched within a week (so I remember pitching it) & I just hate to re-buy things So I keep more than I should.

Thanks Sunny. I'll look for furniture paint and give it a try.
I got rid of a lot of stuff when Johnny died and am planning on getting rid of more as soon as it cools off. It's just way too hot to go into the attic for long.
