Tina, yes My grass is very invasive. A lot of it is Bermuda Grass, with a root system that can go down a least 6 inches...so keeping the grass out of anything garden is best ..So pot farming it is.

It was Sunny who asked, Carol. I couldn't figure quite what you were talking about and didn't want to expose my ignorance.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning ! Happy ☺ Mother's Look to all the mothers.

Look at it this way, Sunny. This is one Mother's Day that you will not forget, and Tina is right...you will need the leaf take soon enough.
I just got Breakfast delivered to me from my DD that lives in the East coast. From Paneras..it was wonderful...and such a surprise !

Yes, it was a perfect gift !
There was 2 breakfast sandwiches, a fruit cup, 4 large bagles, cream cheese, and coffee.
Tomorrow we will have the bagels for breakfast...so really I got 2 breakfasts from her...

This afternoon, Valarie came by with her kids, with a picture the kids made me (hand prints that make a flower.) A window planter and a little swing/ perch for my hummingbird feeder.
AND THEN Rod took me to the local ice cream shop for a treat.

Happy Mother's Day to me !

I love Panera Bread. The closest one now is about 30 minutes away but I've heard one is opening up in my town.

The sun is shining and these baby chicks are getting noisier by the day....I've learned my lesson on this experience lol

They are slowly lifting some restrictions here but I am still scared to go out anywhere. I am glad that we can still order by phone and do curbside pick up at the local stores.

Good morning.

Yes us too, Sunny. Wednesday we have a time to go pick up an order from Wal-Mart. They ask if you can substitute what you want to get I get great value brand in everything I picked out ???..mind you if I get things in the first place.

Not to worry about the chicks..soon they will be able to go out with the others...too bad you did not have a place to keep them outside.

Drinking my coffee.

Good morning. I actually stuck a sweater on this morning. I'm glad. It was much too early in the year to be so hot as it has been.

Good Morning All,

Was happy to see everyone had a nice Mother's Day... I did too, hubby made all the meals and got me a beautiful card and bubble bath stuff... kids all called and sent cards and gift cards.. was a happy day.... was rather warm but we cooled off nicely in the evening … ac will be on all the time soon enough...

My grandson significant other graduated from college, she was the speaker too, online graduation,, we got to watch it... they just moved to so she can go to the School of Mines to continue for her degree.. closer to my dd's family which is making her very happy , she will get to see the baby much more often... they live just a couple blocks away now instead of 50 miles one way..

Well off to get some stuff done while it's cool enough to do it... have to de dog hair the carpet and furniture, he sheds a lot and should be bald at this rate...LOL!
Have a good day all, stay well and safe... we are still isolating here... would rather not get this virus, if we haven't already had it... and there are only tests here if you have symptoms.,
Nana

It never melts in November lol

They say it should start warming up in two days....the weatherman must know something that we do not. I hope it is a quick warm up....I am adding a small section to my garden for GG and another for myself. We are now expanding on both sides of the swing that is in the ground next to my garden.

Good morning !

Yay for extra garden space Sunny. I hope your weather people are right. I will say though, we get a few warmer days then a few colder dsys, then even a few hit dats...but nothing constant. I hope that is not our new normal.

Today's forecasted rains have not started....yet.

Yra, I was watching that..then IMO they began slinging innuendos so I turned off the TV...getting me upset will not change a thing.

I am going to plant flowers today. Even if it is raining....I will be doing it on the porch which has a roof, so no worries.....I cannot wait to get started.

Rain or shine, there is never a bad time for planting flowers.

I don't get depressed watching the news. I get sad sometimes about the things that happen. But I also look for the good things in the news and there are lots. It keeps me on an even keel.
But the interviews I was watching weren't news. It was history happening. And I listened to the supreme court's live audio too. Although I listened to it recorded because it was happening at the same time. More history.
It all keeps me informed on how we're doing as a nation. And where we are at on the pandemic. To know how to react to it.

I would love to be informed as to current events, but it seems to me that most of what is heard on the news is not exactly correct...no matter which side it is coming from.I
Soj I listen to facts, such as if you must go out, wear a mask..etc.
This is how we will begin to open things back up, this is where we are at with developing a vaccine or treatment for the covid 19 virus...

Anyway...goodnight to you all. Sweet Dreams. Sleep well.

Tina, I was watching the news the other day and within the same 15 minutes we had them stating to wear masks if social distancing is unsure, then an interview with an Epidemiologist stating that the use of masks is dangerous giving people a false sense of security and with proven facts that the masks can collect bacteria and other viruses. It sure is confusing.

On a brighter note, the sun is shining and we have some great melting weather for the next few days thumbup

Yay for great melting weather, Sunny. I hope it continues.

We went today and picked up our first grocery order from Wal-Mart. It went very smoothly. And I found they had a phone number to call them direct if you had trouble contacting them with your phone or did not have a smart phone. I may use it a lot...

Good morning ( it is before noon here yet)
