The bears got in my garbage can again....what a mess.

Good morning!

Sorry for your garbage can, Sunny.
I've been up for awhile.

Oh dear Sunny. Once they find your cans will they keep coming back for more?

Oh no ! But I guess Sheri has a point ?

Yup, I put my can in the horse trailer...there is no way for them to get in there but now I am worried about my chickens. This is the first time that I have had trouble with my garbage cans....that tells me that there are too many in the area.

Oh no !
Do you have a way to put them "inside" somehow at night ?

Oh no !

A fox is killing my sisters chickens. He's been brave, coming into the yard when they are outside.

Good Night,
Sleep well my friends !

Sweet dreams all.

I put the chicks in the shed at night since they are in a little dog cage but the hens have to stay out in their coop. I am calling the DNR office today to see if they can set up a trap. I don't want my new baby calf to be on his dinner plate either.

I have to go to the bank today...I have to take GG with me so there will be no stopping anywhere else.

Such a long trip, so sorry you cannot get anything else done.
Be safe my dear.

Good morning.

I hope they can trap/relocate your bear soon, Sunny.

Morning ( for a few minutes still here anyway)

Hubby is out buying wood to keep him busy, has to have a project going … I just did middle of month bills stuff... may get busy and sew rest of office curtains today … been off my feet the last week or so hip decided to act up and hurt to walk... took as much Tylenol as I could but it just had to wait it out... I did finally get enough relief to Milos regret to give him a bath... he was mad at me for a while but got over it... he hates water.. won't even go out on grass if we just watered...

It's bad again here, people just don't get it.. no cure and contagious... more people sick and dying in the state.. so much for getting to travel anytime soon... going to miss my boys coming down or us going up... I think I have read more books lately than I have in the last yr.. watched more movies too.. rearranged closets and drawers.. not that they really needed it but it gave me something to keep busy … wish I could paint, inside of house needs all the rooms redone... hubby will do it , he just hates to paint.. heights bother him and we have 15 foot ceilings in part of house...

Well off to get started with kitchen and bath floors , need sweeping and mopping.. hoping my hip will let me finish it..

Have a good day and stay healthy all,

Nana

I

Hoping your hip holds up, Sherri.

Yez, I am worried about peop!e " not getting it, or not believing this is really happening"

Scared me really.

I hope your hip is better soon, Nana. Take it easy so it can get better quicker.

Sweet Dreams. Sleep well all.

It's 37*F out there this morning....the good old frost is out and about. There'll be plenty more gardens hit from people who planted for the first time.....with no more veggie plants to be found.

I made it to the bank and did a transfer to DD so she could make an order for GB's birthday. July 9th will be here quick...he'll be 5 already.

I hate driving so far and not be able to shop.

I am still waiting on a call back about the bear situation.

Oh my 37 ! That my dear is cold. Your last frost date is not too far off, is it. Although I must say that we had late frost about 2 weeks later than they say is usual. I think from now on, I will go by the first date back home.

Yes about birthday gifts. I need to remember that for my brands on the east coast. Thanks for the reminder, Sunny.

We are going home for a dentist appt. Tuesday and I do not get to go to ceramics..boohoo..and I too would like to do some shopping while home. I will not get to either, so you are not alone.

I hope they call you soon about the bear.

Good morning. I slept well, for a change. It is a nice feeling.

He!!o. Back here in MO now.
Glad that you slept sell, Tina.

Have fun, Carol.

Our high today was 60° and it rained all the live long day. We've finally had our cooling trend.

Sweet dreams all.

Sheri, we changed weather...our heat wave starts today. They have been giving warnings all morning on our news.

I need to get caught up on laundry today....it multiplies in the hamper

Tina, I hope you get more than the one night's good sleep.

Good morning

Wow ! My laundry multiplies in the hamper as well. I wish it would multiply to nicer newer stuff, ya know. I would not mind washing new clothes for us.

Drinking coffee now...and the dishwasher is running. Today will be laundry, ordering some cards and taking down the 2 pack n plays in the kids room.

The only nicer stuff here belongs to GG.

I put the front step back in place and leveled it out...thankfully it is small so it was easy to do. Now to get them scraped and sanded for their annual painting...if I ever build new steps, I am going to use waste oil on them...no one sits on them anyway.

I did sleep good again, Carol, thanks.
Good luck in your projects and heat wave, Sunny.

Thanks Tina.

The projects seem to multiply...just like the laundry

I wish the good things would multiply as quickly as the bad things do. Like fruit and vegetables. Or money. I like dreaming about it.

Oh gracious, money multiplying..sounds great ! We can all dream, right ???

Sunny what kind of heat wave is coming that needs a warning? Our high was 66 today. I like this weather but it's not here for long.

Speaking of laundry, Johnny cleaned out his van Monday and brought in 21 shirts.

21 shirts. WOW I think I would have given him the address of the local laundry, Sheri.

Was in the 80's tiday, with a bit of a cool breeze. Tomorrow is supposed to be the same then Friday is supposed to be on the 90's...I guess our "summef" has finally arrived.

I will say goodnight. Sweet Dreams.

Sweet dreams all. I'm probably going to dream of magical hampers that spit out money.

100*F for three days in a row.

I woke up with a headache, it doesn't happen often but when it does....it's a keeper for the whole day.

Good morning!

Ouch ! 100". That is aweful.

Sunny, is your headache a sinus or migraine ? I hope it surprised you and goes away quickly.

I'm not sure what the headache is from...but it could be the heat. It is 104*F at the moment. Just a few days ago we woke up to frost...what an extreme temperature change.

Well, I didn't dream last night. Or if I did, I slept right through it.

Oh my ! 104*F ouch ! Try taking a cool shower 🚿 , then try some cool compresses on your forehead.

Our governor just made masks mandatory in public places. I'm so glad. Many stores still required them but our county did not as of May 8. Our Covid went up 300% and death rate 125% since then. Other counties climbed as well. I am happy that they have made it mandatory in my state again.
