A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2390

OK...I started a new one.

Yesterday it got 86 here...today another record-breaking heat wave.

Unbelievable...I went from 10-12 ft of snow to 2-3 ft in just days.

Good morning.
Sunny, Mother Nature finally listened and gave you a bit of spring right on time. I hope it sticks.
Cindy, a very nice new lounge.
No major plans. I am still working on clearing things out of the house, making room to breath.

I thought it was great Tina but apparently with this weather the maple syrup production has stopped and they say we might have trouble with our fruit trees, they will bloom early and get hit by frost.

Spent the day doing a few home repairs(seems there's something new every week). My bi fold doors for my laundry area broke so I made them into solid doors and took down the tracks and put hinges up. Now only 18 more things on my to-do list.

Sunny, when you get your 18 things done, ya wanna come here?? I can start my list now-------

Well since I only had 12 things on my list a week ago....you might be waiting awhile

I hate waiting for extra money to get things done when I have so much empty time on my hands.

I have much more than 18 things on my list. But a little at a time. And the list always grows instead of shrinking. Lots of sorting and tossing got done today. And a quick trip to town. Funny to walk into a grocery store and just get what I needed and not seeing a half dozen other things to add to my cart. But nice too.

AAACCCKKKK!!!!!!! My air conditioner is broke!

Oh No, Cindy! I am sorry. Is it completely broken or just frozen up with ice?

I have no idea. It's a heat pump thing...heats in the winter and cools in the summer. I'll have to call my cousin tomorrow to come look at it. In the meantime I have sweat pouring off me...my hair is totally wet. Another record-breaking high temp day.

Someone offered me a Macaw...I have wanted this bird for years and now that they want to give it to me I can't take it. I can barely take care of myself at this point, let alone Lola and Spartacus. No way I could add another parrot into the mix.

I am sorry, Cindy. I hope it is a quick fix on your a/c. And I am very glad you are showing your common sense about the macaw.

So sorry about the A/C malfunction Cindy--I hope it is a quick fix. And so sorry but I agree with Tina.

Good morning...errands today.

Good morning. Another record-breaking hot day. We skipped 'spring' here and sprung right into summer.

Good morning--

Yea we have been doing that here to for several years, but this year it seems to be more severe...now, while I will take an early summer---if things keep progressing, soon we will have scorching weather & then what--no rain to go with it ??

I am off to rehab----carch everyone later---bye

Its snowing here...

Bill, I am jealous of your snow!!!

Good morning. I am not jealous of anyone's snow. And when the jet stream is right (or wrong?), Bill's weather heads my way. We are to have a cold, wet weekend. But water is almost always nice.

I have air conditioning now!!!!!! The freon was leaked out or something.

.....

Try that when it's 110 outside. Glad you got air. :)

Congrats, Cindy! I am so happy for you.

Now that I have had a nap in the cool comfort of my recliner I think I should probably take a shower...guess I will be able to sleep tonight without sweating. Last night I had a fan about 6 inches from me...

Hurray for working A/C

It sure is quiet in here tonight--

here it is 11:21pm

so good night everyone--sweet dreams to you all...

Good Morning everyone--

Rod didn't feel the need to take my grandpuppies outside this morning, so they woke me up---so here I sit--very tired yet awake---
I submit for you, reason # 628 why we "will NOT" have another dog when Dante's time comes.

Good morning, yesterday was like 3 days in 1..I was sooo busy.

Today will be quieter. Our snow is down to a foot or so with bare patches of ground. How 10 ft of snow can melt in a week is so strange. Calling for snow again this week end...my tulips and daffy's are up out of the ground already.

Good Morninmg--again...

My daffs, hyacinths & crocus are up and have bloomed--my violets and violas are curently blooming---yep early it is, nothing will be left my easter I fear....

and in the back I have the varigated wavy Hostas that Dodge sent me coming up---the other Hostas are not up yet--but they were late last year so I think that is normal. I have a lot of Gaillardias coming up & others, but hey---if anyone knows what book I put my garden schmatics in will they please let me know, I would love to know for sure waht is coming up & where____--I am anxious I know---- normally I would have a month to wait, but now I just do not know what to do...

I cannot help you with your organization, Carol. I cannot even help myself much.
Good morning. More cleaning plans today. And a trip to town. We are to have another cool, rainy weekend. I need to haul in more firewood.

You are too sweet Tina--I did find a photo from 2010--and while it wont be right--it hopefully will be better than nothing----

I will do as I think I said earlier (by a few days) =
Rod suggested I put a; of the books that I write stuff in in one place---& so I have instituted that policy----
______________________________________________________________
I FOUND IT !!!!!

(so what kind of idiot gets a piece of typing paper, puts their schematic on it & then just shoves it in a random notebook ??? )

and oh, also does NOT take a photo to use as back-up ??-----I really need a keeper.....

I change things around so often...well between that and Winter kill, i could never keep track of what's growing where.

I have winter Kill as well--

winter killed me off too...

..........

Soon here I am going to walk my 2 Grandpuppies and then get "dressed" for bed.

We skipped winter here...
Had tornado warnings around Kentucky all day today.

We had warnings in neighbioring areas but not here--there were a few thunderstorms though---thankfully they were short lived...

this is sure strange weather----definately NOT my idea of spring...

well I guess I will go to sleep soon--sweet dreams everyone..

Keep safe all of you in those tornado paths.

Nighty night, Junie.
The thunderstorms are getting close now...I can hear the thunder getting closer and closer and the tornado warning just came across the TV. I'm supposed to get in a closet? Nope...I'm going to lay in the recliner by the window and try to sleep through it.

On second thought I might get under the table or in a closet. It's starting now...the hail sounds huge and the wind feels like it's going to blow the windows out.

Going to turn the computer off now.....
