Good morning. That was hard, I have a very sticky two and it just doesn't want to work.
It is supposed to be well over a hundred here today. And through the weekend. I am thankful every day for my cooler. And fans.
Have a great Friday everyone.

Sorry, Tina--I will try to watch closer in the future so you do not have to use your 2 so much.
105 today with heat indexes of 110 to 115.
Supposed to cool off on Sunday & be 99 or 100. You know it is bad if 100 is cooling off.
I have my own errands to run today. Now to watch the car in this heat.

No, I was just grousing. I can live with a sticky 2. I just have to hold it down awhile. Just gave me something to complain about besides the weather..

Hi all. Tina, 115* is just wrong...I'd die in such heat. We have a strange cold front moving in....I wish I could share with all of you. Today will be a mowing, weeding and weed whacking day. We spent the day yesterday rebuilding a hay trailer....the frame from old mining pipes and the rest from cut trees that we sawed into planks with a chainsaw. It's amazing what one can do when you have no money for anything else

Good morning. Your makeshift hay trailer sound good, Sunny. It is amazing what we can do out of necessity.
I need to trim some hair today. For myself and my dude. I may do that today and change up the bedding and such. Going to bed tonight will feel wonderful.
I hope everyone has a great day

Fresh bedding is wonderful. I got the outdoor chores completed. Time for a break while supper cooks. It was in the 90's here all week, even reached 100....tonight they are saying temps will dip in the 30's and for us to be aware of a chance of frost. This happened a few years ago as well, we got frost every month. I'll have to tarp the garden this evening.

Yes, we are only in the upper 90's too. And it feels downright refreshing. But at these temps every degree counts.

well, I was wrong. The official high today was 107 or 108. (Rod heard one temp I heard the other) broke some record or other. if it had of gotten to 109 it would have broken a record here set way back in 1954.
I had a nice 2 hour nap.

Good morning. It is Sunday. I can't believe how fast/slow this month is going. It seems to be zipping by and dragging at the same time,
No plans today. I'll just see what's happening. I hope everyone has a great day.

last night there was lightening & thunder. then it finally began to rain...after 3:30 am. not that I was sleeping much. Rod said we only got like 1/8 of an inch. I think we got more than that (from what I heard) but it was so windy the rain didn't make it into my gauge.
I got a 2 hour nap again.....

It has gone slow this week, we talked to our realtor this week, we will have it up for sale within the net two weeks... have a little more fixing to so, replacing a closet door in office , can't be a bedroom unless it has a closet door....
I packed up about half my records today, finding boxes they will fit in isn't easy...most are either to big or not high enough..
I have finally been able to get in and out of bathtub on my own now too, I love to take a bath and not being able to was a real pain, foot is doing okay now, still hurts if I don't keep it up a lot but easier to get around, only use the cane when we go out, balance isn't quite right yet.
After we get house up for sale we will go down and rent and apartment , put most of our stuff in storage down there, evidently we can do most of paperwork online now. . only have to be here for the actual closing.
Timothy came over today and is helping hubby build a step for the deck, still hoping to get it stained but it's been to hot or raining... we will leave the stain for new people if we can't get it done... LOL!
Well better go and see if I can pack something else...

Good Morning, Tina.
I am soon on my way to do a Wal-mart run. I too wish everyone a great day.

The seizure's were an allergic reaction to new meds they said...hopefully so.
House is mopped, supper has been had and cleaned up...tomorrow is a 'make and pick up' hay day. It'll be a long, long day.

Hi all. I am all hay'd out....farming sure ain't for sissy's. I just scraped paint off two old wooden wagon wheels I found in the old scrap pile....they are two different sizes. I am thinking of putting them against the house where I have clematis planted. They were just too cute to leave go to ruination. I also have an early supper going because I promised to take the grands to the splash park that opened in town. They built it to honor the two little boy's that died from the snake incident. Have a good one.

Yay for water parks, Sunny. I am sure the Grands will LOVE it....and spending time with them is always a good thing, I am sure !!
I would LOVE to see photos of the wagon wheels when they are where you want them, and they are ready for display.
So sorry for the lack of sleep Tina. I hope you do get your nap.

Sunny, I don't remember the snake incident. Also would like to see the wagon wheels. Junie, did Rod get laid off? Hope it's for a short time when it happens. My best friend, Silvia (she went to Jamaica with me to Ginger's wedding) son, who was living in her house, has been arrested for 2nd degree murder due to a drug deal. It's so horrible.

It worked for me. When he was in high school he worked in our yard and he was so smart. He was in the French Foreign Legion for 4 years and came home and just graduated from UNC-Charlotte with a degree in accounting. He was planning to continue school to get his CPR. What in the world?

Enjoy your vacation, Carol.
I didn't eat today. I ate a handful of tater chips and that was it for me. But I finally ate an egg and cheese burrito when it cooled down tonight. I just wasn't hungry today.
Now I'll say good night to all. Sweet dreams.

I wish I would not eat much in the heat.....I am glad it cooled down some for you though, Tina.
Well, no----IF we go anywhere today, it will just be for the afternoon--you know AFTER we eat lunch at home & I clean it up. Rod is off taking care of business he could have taken care of yesterday afternoon.....when he was home napping instead. He says if I have to do more stuff, we can go tomorrow--well, I WAS going to work outside tomorrow as it is supposed to be only in the 80's tomorrow...oh well...that work has waited this long it can wait longer....

Good morning.
I wish I had gotten a good sleep last night. But I didn't. I am going to be napping for sure.
I hope all have a good day

Did Rod get laid off Junie? Hope you get to go somewhere fun and have a great afternoon. Sometimes a short time away from the house is the best. Sometimes Johnny and I will just take a ride through Charlotte and we'll go by where his parents lived and where he played in the park and so on. It's still fun even though we've done it hundreds of times.
Tina, I ate enough yesterday for both of us. :) Don't make cookies if you can't control yourself is my advice.
Sunny, I remember that horrible snake story now. Nice about the splash park. I didn't make jam this year. Do you make freezer jam?
It just occurred to me that the blackberries are gone. I'm not sure if my neighbors stole them or if the deer ate them. I don't mind either way but I usually keep some in the freezer. Oh well, there's always next year.

I cook my jams Sheri...I like it better that way.
Ran some errands with DH...first time we've gone together in forever it seems. He's gone to run a few more but I had work to do while GG is visiting my mom for a few hrs. I got the wagon wheels scraped and sanded, there were three colors of paint. I just coated them with my 'poor man's sealer', they'll be dry by tomorrow.
I'll post pics once they get situated.

Tina, Johnny and I both have been on an eating binge so we're taking in any calories you've missed. :)

Thank you all about the kind words of Rodney. We are happy as well.
I offered to make Rodney some blackberry jam, but reminded him I would have to buy the berries. he said not to bother as the berries would be costly. I thought all jams & jellies were cooked???
last week I finally threw away my old gardening clogs. the sole was just about worn thru, and the linings were definitely a lost cause. So, today Rod & I were in a farm store & they had some plastic clogs on clearance, so I bought a pair to use while I a m out doing my gardening....now I am good to go. YAY
I too am headed to bed. Sweet dreams to you all.

Hi all.
Junie, you can get a special pectin. You just crush the berries, add sugar, stir well...add 'freezer pectin', stir some more and pour in dishes for the fridge and freezer. No cooking required.
I am not sure what today holds...there is always lots to do.

Good morning. Looking at a heatwave with humidity. Not my favorite kind of thing. I will be laying low to accommodate it all.
I hope all have a fantastic weekend.

Good morning.
I did not sleep well or long last night----oh well, what else is new? It is beautiful, out in the 60's....(yes really) and I had planned for it & was going to do yard work. well not the way I feel. hopefully I will wake up at some point today & go out to begin--- Then at some point I will come back in & make 2 single serve peach cobblers for Rod & I for supper. I really should decide what is going with that, huh?
Thanks for the info Sunny, I had no idea.....I thought one still cooked Freezer jam.
Sorry for the humidity, Tina. .sounds like you are getting what we had--gosh I hope not.
I wish you all a great day.

Hello:
I was finally awake enough to go out & begin some of the things I want to do outside. I began by building up the edging bricks that go around my window wells. that went well...then I thought I would get some of my mulch & do both at one time as I went across the mulched area. Well, there were what I thought were ants on one bag (I had 2 bags) so I asked Rod if he has something to spray on them to kill them,,,(I am not planting in the mulched area) Well he said he thought they were termites. SO, I say well what do I do with 2 bags of mulch?/ he says well go put it around the trees we have along the back of our property. (Yea I know the trees are wood too...but the boy said to do that, so I did) so now I am hot---it is much hotter out--I do so wish I had of been awake enough to start this AM....I could be done with my edging at least. Oh well...at least I began.

Yes, it's a very good beginning too, Carol.
Today has been productive. My hair is trimmed and Teddy's. Bathroom tidied from my messy daughter (I was searching for something). Cleaned out the kitchen fridge.
Next bathing my boy and taking a shower. But maybe a little nap first.

I add a pectin to my strawberry freezer jam. I've tried to find a non GMO one but haven't had much luck. I made some one year without pectin and the jam is too thin to suit me. Doesn't seem to bother anyone else but I like a thicker jam.
I still have some garden clogs that Cindy sent me in a forum exchange. Can't even remember how many years ago that's been. I mostly wear a pair of Johnny's old boots in the garden.

I buy my store brand jam. It is good with no GMO's. But sometimes it is thick, almost solid and sometimes it is thinner and runny. I like it thinner myself.

Hi all.
We are getting a few cooler days...it is nice. Wishing I could send it to you as well Tina.
We don't have termites here....I wonder if the cold Winter's have anything to do with it. Do they do much damage there Junie?
Sheri, either way with pectin...you get 'crap'. Regular has GMO corn by-product, non GMO pectin isn't organic so it has pesticides from the fruit by-product.
Today I have to take DD to town to order GG's cake and such(she offered to pay for the party)....she turns 7 next Tuesday.

seven ?? when did anyone allow her to get so old...why she was just born last week, right???
termites can be problem here if you are not careful....things like at least 6 inches of rocked area between the dirt/mulch & the house, & treated area & keeping wood things (ie mulch) correctly used & stored...well I was not thinking ^ what with everything going on I left my mulch on the concrete pavers for 2 years..THAT will not happen again, I assure you.
I think I need to make some Jam......
going out now to continue working on the rocked area...
I wish you all a great afternoon.

Just a comment: Some day I am going to learn to keep ALL of my opinions to myself on facebook. I have found if I ever dare to give my opinion on a topic, there is a BUNCH of people who are just itching to prove you wrong, and then explain in detail just why I am wrong.....One would think I would learn....SMH
on to other news & note---
2 of my 4 tomato plants got a fungus and died--luckily I got a few tomatoes off of them first---and so I had 2 tomato plants left---1 cherry tomato plant and 1 Cherokee Purple. The CP had 3 larger beautiful green tomatoes on it-(& a few tiny ones)-one was very large & blemish free, I could not wait for it to ripen. Well, apparently a squirrel did not feel the need to wait for it to ripen...all 3 tomatoes are gone---gone I say---anyone want to have some squirrel in red sauce with polenta??? 'cause I am ready to make it happen. (PS: my DH thought I was serious & told me I could not do such as that in town)
In other news & notes:
another 1-1/2 hours of work done on my rocked area....I am hoping to get it done this week as the temps are supposed to stay in the 80's all week. wish me luck.

I try very hard not to give opinions. It leads to problems. But I've had a few.
I am sorry about your tomato plants. It's sad. Good on getting outdoor things caught up.
Sweet dreams everyone.

Thanks TIna, and of course you are right..I am going to try harder in future to keep my opinions to myself.
Not happy about the squirrel...I knew he as trying to eat my cherry tomatos...but he did not care for green ones so so far I have been safe with them---I should have been checking my other tomato plants as often as I was checking the one on the deck,..shame on me. (BTW: the tomatoes were all there 2 days ago when I watered them.)
Going to bed now--sweet dreams

Naw Tina, you are not getting old---your DD is just aging faster than you. That is my story & I'm sticking to it.
Good Morning. I am off to a day of shopping as well. I intend to make an enjoyable day of it....some shopping and a LOT of looking around......sounds relaxing to me.
I wish you all a great day.

Junie, how did one of your sentences end up in a post of mine from the other day? I was able to edit it and delete it. Interesting.
I don't usually give a lot of opinions on FB either but when I do if people want to argue I either unfollow or unfriend them. It's my page after all. I got in a FB argument with Johnny's niece a few years back over a picture I posted of Johnny's grandmother - they wanted me to delete it and I refused - ended up deleting them as friends. They have both tried to refriend me several times since then and I refuse to do it. I've totally blocked one of them that continued to send request after request. I also blocked her from Johnny's page. Johnny's aunt unfriended her over something else (I have no idea what) and told Johnny that she received a very hateful message from this niece. She's a nut job.

I have no idea what happened with our pages getting mixed up Sheri....glad you were able to take care of it though.
Yes, I just decided to ignore those people---I cannot unfriend them----family and long time friends....apparently with different opinions than I have...
so sorry for your family drama, Sheri---I guess we all have them.

Hi all. Happy B-day to your DD, Tina. I ended up deleting my FB because of family. The less people I have to deal with...the better in my opinion. I think I'm going to end up being that cranky old lady in the family

I have friends and family who have left their original FB page as is and just rarely post on it and opened another using their first name, middle initial, last name or some such combination and don't accept friendships from people who have been a problem. They keep the second page secure. I'm not that discrete :). If you aggravate me I unfriend or delete you. I don't care if it makes you mad. Real life has enough drama without having it on my FB page.
I should never make chocolate oatmeal cookies because I end up eating waaaay too many of them.

I don't bake in the summer. That helps keep my weight down. And I stay cooler.
I am going out tomorrow to bank and such. The shopping was done today and I won't need anything for a few days. I'll probably need bananas and bread and stuff for the weekend. But I'm sticking close to home otherwise.
Sweet dreams all.

I DO use the o en in the summer, just not as often as I use it in the winter. I really need to clean my oven but it is a self-cleaning one & THOSE temps I am just not ready for yet.
Going to sleep soon G'nite to everyone.

Good morning. I slept in. I got up about 4:30 this morning But went back to bed when it started thundering. I slept through the rain we got. I don't know how much but it's nearly dry out there.
Time to get up and moving.

The chocolate oatmeal cookies are no bake so it's very tempting to make them. Plus they taste sooooo good.

Sheri: OH those are the kind of cookie that you meant...I LOVE them----and they are one of youngest DD's favorites...I am making them in a few weeks for her as a surprise.
Just got another 90 minutes of my landscaping done--at least now, if I find some new mulch, I can finish that part.

August is our summer wet month. But we usually get quick showers that don't do much to help our dry soil.
We had storms roll through again this afternoon. It makes a nice change from the norm. Expecting more possible tomorrow.
I napped through them because there wasn't much else to do with lightning around.
I hope everyone sleeps well and wakes well. Sweet dreams all.

When it is so hot, I think "wasting a day" is a good idea. You would not want a heat stroke after all.
I hope you sleep better/longer tonight Tina. Sweet Dreams...I too am headed to bed.

I agree...wasting a day due to heat is a smart thing to do Tina. I just can't imagine having such heat all the time. I am trying to convince DH to run some of his errands today. I might tag along to get treated at the coffee shop.

Good morning. I slept wonderfully. But it's going to be a miserable day with the humidity. I am officially hiding.
I wish everyone a good day.

Sweet dreams all. I haven't done much at all here. It's too hot to move much. It is not to get much cooler over the weekend but much drier. That will be a blessing.

Good going. Sunny!
Good morning. Watching wild weather across the US this morning. Ours is over, thank goodness.
There is a rave at the park at the end of our road this weekend. I am not going anywhere.
I hope everyone has a great Friday.

My DH got some business done--and lucky me I got some coffee & a donut afterwards..(YAY) then I did more cleaning & then I took some clothing to a church used clothing store. Then I went to the market. I think some down time is in order.

I'd stay inside as well Tina.
Donuts are always a good thing Junie.
Tomorrow I promised to take both grandkids to a small local festival....it will be a fun day, especially since all of it is free for kids.

Good morning. I am not going anywhere due to the fuss up at the park today. And tomorrow. I'm just happy that I'm not in it all. Of course, I'll start craving something available on the 'other side' if I let myself. But I'll wait.
I hope everyone has a good Saturday.

Good morning. I will get book work and such done today. I've been putting it off and it's a good way to occupy my mind when I cannot accomplish much else.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

Hi all...I took the kids to the festival yesterday. It was a good day out.
Today is a laundry day...GG's b-day party is tomorrow as well so I'll be busy with the prep this evening.

Yes, have fun, Sunny.
We are a quiet bunch during the day. I hope everyone is doing well.
I got what I planned done today but little extra. I am such a wimp these days.
Sweet dreams everyone.
