Yay for melting snow!

Yay for Bare patches in the yard. Come on summer...

Not feeling well..and storms are due tonight.

See you all when I can. Sweet Dreams to you all.

Keep safe, Carol. Sweet dreams.

Good morning. I've been sleepwalking this morning. Having a hard time with dry, itchy eyes. That is mostly due to the windy conditions outdoors.
I wish everyone a good Wednesday.

I hope your eyes clear up soon.

I cleaned the inside of all the kitchen cupboards today....how one gather so much junk amazes me.

I also have been trying to get a refund back from Bitdefender for charging me for re-installing an antivirus that I did not sign up for. I clicked to not have a continued subscription and they did it anyway. It wasn't worth the $60 for the first year....let alone another $60. They should be prevented from charging credit cards unknowingly. So far they have offered $30 back...I refused.

I would refuse also. That's terrible.
Sweet dreams all.

Hi all, we have been getting heavy rain...which is really melting the snow

Today I will tackle the worst job of all when it comes to spring cleaning. That's the cleaning of the top of the kitchen cupboards....the grease/residue seems to collect like glue. I know now why people build them right to the ceiling. The fact that I keep knick knacks on top doesn't help either.

Hoping someone is having more fun than me today

Good morning everyone. I am feeling better, but am far from well.

I wish I could clean the top of my cabinets and the things up there, Sunny. But I can no longer climb up and down. I agree on the knowing why people have cabinets to the top of their ceilings now. I originally wanted to do that at the farm, but it was so much cheaper to just make them regular height, that I went that way...I wish these cabinets were to the ceiling or that I had a built in soffett. But oh well. Glad you snow is melting.

We are going to get heavy rains from Friday night to Sunday night. They are also saying that is more of a promise than a forecast

I wish you all a great day.

Good morning.
Some promises are not so good, Carol. Hunker down.
I want to get a few things done today. I cannot do a whole spring cleaning but I can do some things.
I hope all have a great day.

Thanks, TIna.

But, to quote a framed gift I was given back in the day..."I'm so far behind, I think I am first".....

Cute quote. Sweet dreams all.

That's funny Junie.

No school again today...meetings of some sort. It is still raining so I'll tackle more inside here today. Well that is if I can keep GG from digging into everything....she is a busy child.

Have a good one.

Good morning. I've been up a couple of hours but I'm late in.
I am going out to pick up our weekend needs today. I'd better get ready.
Hope everyone has a great Friday.

Well, Sunny, busy or not, GG is there, and that is a blessing after all. One day she will be grown & gone & you will long for her being small & busy.

Be safe out running your errands, Tina.

I am headed to see the Dr. today--or rather a nurse practitioner, whatever I have has got to get better. My DH even offered to stay home to take me, so I must be not doing so well.

I wish you all a dry day.

What do you have, Carol?
Sweet dreams all. I'm beat.

Hi all.

I am wondering as well Tina.

I cleaned out the garden shed yesterday...it has been taken over with toys. Today we spend the day with grandboy and I need to take DD for groceries. Thinking I'll treat myself to a coffee and donut at the coffeeshop as well

Good morning. It's very windy out there today. And the green growth from the rainy winter is beginning to brown off. It was so pretty after our droughts.
Coffee and doughnuts sound great, Sunny.
I hope to get a few things done today.
I wish everyone a good day.

Curious about Junie too. Hope she found help for whatever it is.

Tina, I almost wish it would be raining here again too. We went to Tori's soccer game yesterday at 5:30 and it was so hot we could not breath. Sweat was visibly pouring off everyone there. I almost wore jeans because at Darbi's softball game the prior evening it was overcast and I ended up putting on a light sweater that I happen to have in the car. I might have melted like that bad witch in the Wizard of Oz if I had worn them.

I didn't go to the farmers market. Haven't been in a while. Since our egg lady has started weekly deliveries and the market director left it's just sort of chaos there. I've had 2 people tell me that a few of the vendors are bringing in produce from who knows where and that it's probably been frozen. This past fall I asked one vendor how he had tomatoes so late in the season and he said "I just do." I wondered then what was going on. Another vendor told me that this particular man had already been thrown out of a farmers market 16 miles down the road from me. And my egg lady said that there is no chicken farmer within the allowed 50 miles that has enough chickens to bring in the hundreds of eggs one vendor has started bringing in. Would be lovely to have a fresh tomato but I'm going to wait until mine come in or I'm sure some of the reliable vendors have some from their early plantings or greenhouse.

My plan for this afternoon (because I didn't get out there earlier enough this morning) is to plant squash seeds and cucumber seeds and green bean seeds. We shall see if this actually happens.

I hope it does, Sheri. I think that you have to be careful at our local farmers markets as well. You cannot trust that everything is local.

Hello everyone. I have had a rough few days. The Nurse Practitioner that I saw said I have an ear infection and a sinus infection. I am on a strong antibiotic 2 times a day. The pain is not so bad now but I still cannot sleep for more than say 2 hours at a time yet. Thanks for the concern, I am getting better, it is just going to be slow.

Planting seeds already, how wonderful for you Sheri. I an envious. Good for you.

I agree about the farmers market. I wish we had a nice/reliable one here. we have a small one but if you do not get there right when they open, you had may as well not bother.

An "adult treat" (Coffee & donuts) Ya for you, Sunny. That sounds wonderful.

Yay for rain, Tina. I wish you a better year weather-wise this year.

Turning off the computer, so I can unplug it. More rain and storms to come. See you all tomorrow.

I did get out there an plant some vegetables as well as some marigold seeds my sister sent me. I have a few more tomato plants that aren't quite ready to go out but if everything comes up I'm set for the growing season.

That's wonderful, Sheri. I bet you're going to have some delicious meals.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Happy Sunday to all. I have a lazy day planned here. Just some book work to get prepared for May.
Get well, Carol.
I hope it is a lovely day for all.

Sheri, you are most certainly on the ball, YAY for early growing seasons.

Thanks Tina, I am getting well, slow but sure. I need to as I "will" be going to the Drs, with my MIL next tuesday (afternoon, so not to worry)

I am going to "try" to watch the daytime Emmy's this evening. I hope I can.

I was able to live stream the daytime Emmy's on my la[-top tonight. They were great. I have not been able to watch for years, so this was a treat YAY for me !!

MY DD with the triplets texted me tonight.. she wake up last night with the chills, horrid aches & pains and a bad sore throat. She went to the Urgent care & got meds....the same that my Mom & I got on Monday...
(ab out Mom & I )The NP really did not tell my mom what her problem was other than to say wow that is is bad when looking in her mouth and grimacing at me when she looked in my mouth. I asked if I has an ear infection (she said yes) I asked if I had a sinus infection (she said yes) She told my Mom nothing.
Mom & I went to the same NP on Friday. Valarie went last night & had a throat culture done ( thank goodness) so she KNOWS she has strep throat.

See you all tomorrow. Sweet Dreams.

Get well soon, Carol.
I'm glad you could watch the emmies.
Sweet dreams all.

IT was nice, Tina, thanks.

Good morning, everyone. A dryer but cooler day is on the agenda today. MY sick DD is hope as her school was cancelled b/c of the rising waters.

I am washing some clothes, but I think then rest is in order until I cook supper.

I wish you all a great day.

Good morning. What a lovely night of sleep. Happy May Day.
Today is banking and bill paying. I am so grateful I can.
Have a wonderful day!

Happy 1st of May.

Sorry that you are all sick Junie, GG was a bit sniffly this a.m. so I am sure she will be as well.

Yay for being garden ready Sheri, I am jealous....I am just starting to buy some seeds.

Hoping the budget is all in order Tina...I find it easier to do that as well.

I will be done with the housecleaning by the end of the day. I just took apart all the photo frames and took them outside and spray painted them all flat black. I have so many from over the years and only a few match...I am hoping it makes it all 'flow' better.

I hope that GG just has allergies, Sunny. That would be the best outcome for sure.

I have not even began spring cleaning.......

Sunny do you think GG has allergies? Seems she is sniffling a lot. I'm wondering if Colt has allergies because his nose is either running or stopped up.

I am so glad I don't have to deal with anyone's allergies anymore.
Sweet dreams all.

Good night Tina. I used to take Sudafed when I needed some help. Now, since I cannot take it any longer, I just get to suffer---I do not want to take antihistamines.

Tomorrow I need to get going early to take my DH's truck in to get the oli changed. Then in the afternoon, I need to go with my MIL to a Drs. appt.
As a result, I will see you all when I do...

I too am going to sleep. sweet dreams everyone.

Hi all.

I was thinking GG might have allergies but it seems that when she starts to get sick she has a mild fever as well at first. The doctor keep saying it is all from a virus but I am making an appt. with a pediatrician to get some blood work. She has too many fevers in the run of a month.

Today I have sewing alterations in the afternoon, children's clothes. It seems that there is quite a demand for fixing straps and hemming by the local moms in the area. It won't hurt to make a few dollars for myself.

Tonight GG and I are will be attending the school book fair fundraiser...it should be fun.

I and my grand children love going to the school book fair. When I was a school nurse I would check it out every day it was open even though they put out all the books on the first day. Love books.

Sunny, that's a great idea. Neither of my girls even own a needle or spool of thread. Shelley will ask me to sew on a button once in a while but I think Ginger either uses clothes as dusting rags or donates them to somewhere thinking someone will fix them. I hate to admit this but I'm pretty sure that both my girls have told me they've thrown clothes away because they needed a button or had a rip. I told them not to tell anyone else because it's so wasteful.

Good morning. It is the warmest wake up I've had for awhile. Today is bill paying day. So that is what I'll be doing. So glad I'm able.
It's wonderful that you can make a little money that way, Sunny. Go girl!
I hope everyone has a good day.

Mr. Rape has shown up again. A while back, a real while back I mentioned to him that the posts around the screened in porch need to be scraped and painted or replaced or something because the paint was peeling and I was worried about termites. Guess he keeps a list. His wife has Alzheimer's and I thought he wasn't working but guess I was wrong. I love that man.

We are fortunate people Tina. We all have a place to get in out of the weather and we have food. Everyone should read the book Nickel and Dimed.
