Hello Tina. Thanks for opening a new CH.
Spoke to all the kids.
At 10 am Nora told the teacher her name was Heidi so she could sit by Cora..( Mom had told the teacher to put Heidi between Nora & Cora)..by 3 pm Nora and Cora had exchanged glasses in order to confuse.
Luke cannot wait for school to start..but I think it will not begin until a week after Labor Day.

Good morning.
When I am hungry, ever, it means I am losing weight. Trick is to nit eat immediately.

Well, my hungry morning was due to the cooler weather. It was only 80* this morning when it's not been below 90* for a week or two. I almost wanted to put on long sleeves. I am not hungry when it's hot.

What have you been busy with, Sunny? Canning/freezing your garden? Outfitting your grands for school? Nosy people want to know. Or bored ones. Canning, cooking, family funeral(distant), hay cutting from a neighbors fields(he died last year and they want them cut so we get the hay for doing the work), equipment repairs and cleaning the wood shed. I need to clone myself this week.

I'm sorry about the funerals, Sunny. But very good news on the hay available. And canning and cooking sound like hot work to me. A clone I don't want. I'd feel too sorry for her to make her work. I want a solar powered robot, myself. That sounds good, doesn't it?

Sorry for the funeral, Sunny. On other fronts, sure sounds like you need a few clones. You are sure one hard worker my friend.

Good luck with your tune-up on your computer Sunny. Take care in the mean time.computer Going out to plant some long tips of my blackberries. If they take hold, I will cut thrm from the mother plant next spring.... We are supposed to get heavy rains and storms courtesy of "Laura" tonight and tomorrow. So these "starts" have a better chance to take hold. I can dream, right ?

Thanks Tina. That is what I need. Last evening I put the tips of several Blackberry plants in the ground to root. When they are well rooted, I will cut them from the mother p!ant and have news blackberry starts/plants. I need a lot if nice steady rain to accomplish that. Here's hoping !

Can you supplement the water to your starts, Carol? I've done it in my desert areas away from water sources by using something like a milk carton with a single pinhole poked in it and placed near then plant-lets. Sweet dreams.

I am back, it wasn't much of a tune up because he did not want to fully delete everything but he did take out the other two internet programs that was fighting me when I want to use Google Chrome only. My computer is a bit faster but I still have the spinning blue circle. Oh well, I should be happy to at least have access to the internet.

I am sure noone wants to know chiggers. My take in them is they are smaller, more "plentiful" mosquitos. They make the latter seem like no problem at all in comparison.
I use a " the bug thing" on mosquito bites, and that pretty much handles them. I guess I should try to see how they do on chiggers.

It is a small plunger sort of thing. You put the opening over the bite and pull up on it. It sucks the bite up and I guess it removes the "poison" so to speak. I will go down in a bit and find a link on the laptop and leave it to you

I do not think you can buy them out and about....I think they are an online thing. At least they were back when we bought ours. Person here in the US invented them. ( as I recall) Rod ordered one for us and one for each of the girls. I love it.

Hi all, GG has her annual pediatric appt. today. It is a private clinic so it will be the same procedure as the dentist...wait in your car, then they take you in one at a time. At least I will get a curbside order completed at the same time. I wonder what the inside of stores look like now? I am going to ask them to take pics to share with me.

Yes, in store shopping is allowed at most but not all places. Our local pharmacy is still closed for pick up only. The problem is that I have GG anytime I go anyplace so I will not take her in anywhere. We went to the doctors visit today then did a curbside hardware store pick up and a McD's drive through window. There was a case that popped up last week just a half hours drive from here...so I'll sit and wait it all out.

Hello. I agree, to wait this "virus" out is a good idea.

Hi all, we have open stores here but we I have been home for 4 months now... hubby does shopping ... goes in masked and gloved.., comes home and washes , leaves what he can to air in garage, brings it in after a few hours... oh yes did go and do blood tests once .. waited in car and they called to come in... new world we live in right now... they had 350 new cases here in AZ in last few days... so we are in the hot spot in AZ, no matter what news says...
Well good news is my kids and kidlets are fine, worry about them in grocery store all day... but they clean very often and wear protective gear too.. son in law isn't doing to well he had a kidney stone and then other symptoms but after it passed they sent him home cause it's safer there, with oxygen and home visits to test to see what else is wrong... hopefully he will get better soon.. Well off to get a late lunch and see what else I can find to go.... rainy day here so may go sit outside on my swing and read awhile..

Good plans all around. I had a remote visit with Teddy's Regional Center worker today. It is quite funny to have a telephone meeting. This is a new worker for him and she really learned more than his records showed her. So we are good for another year or so.

Glad you got another meeting out of the way, Tina. That was very considerate of you to tell her extra things it might be helpful for her to know. Many people might not bother...

Well, I had to explain that when there is a lot of walking involved, Teddy needs a wheelchair. There was nothing about his knees in his records. That is bad record keeping.

I am glad that you have them up to date Tina, poor record keeping is a disaster.
Our heat is gone, it went from the high 90's down to the low 30's this morning....frost is everywhere.

Good late morning. I am taking a break. I've been sorting and moving things, gingerly. We had a wakeup last night when Jonni went onto the deck for something. She heard a rattler and looked around and saw it a few feet away from her. Then she lost sight of it before I could get in the room with her. Today is rattler hunting for us.

Oh gosh a rattler. Hope it's gone now. Do you see a lot of them like we do black snakes? Makes me appreciate my black snakes.
Gosh Sunny what happened to fall? Or is 30° considered your fall? Still summer here.
Our stores are open. Supposed to be at 50% capacity but I haven't seen anyone monitoring things since the very beginning of this mess. My sister went to see her daughter close to Atlanta last week and they went to The Mall of Georgia (I think) just because it's so big and my sister wanted to see it. She said she couldn't stand it because it was so crowded. I hate mall shopping anyway so have no desire to go.

Or, I do not like huge malls or crowded places, either. No the snake is still hiding or went out the way it came in. We'll keep the deck closed off and be very careful when we go out there. And no, I have never seen a rattler in the house before (30+ years). But Jonni did see a small gopher snake in the kitchen this past spring. I have only ever seen 3 here outside. None of them survived the meeting.

Gracious..that is very bad news about Malls. There are a few stores I would appreciate going into here at our Mall...at least before Christmas...But I do not want to go into a crowded store or Mall either. So glad you said something Sheri.
I hope the snake is truly gone, Tina. Gracious, that whole scenario is just scarey.
Has it heated up there any, Sunny ?

Tina I would have had a heart attack! ... for someone that has lived in snake country most of my life I hate them and they terrify me... when we took apart our old deck in Littleton to rebuild it there was a 6 ft rattle snake skin from a molt under there... took me about 3 weeks to go outside in the back again.... and it was just the skin! haven't seen any here , just lizards and rabbits.. but Milo chases them off or at least away.... We just had a short rain storm... hard for about20 minutes... hubby waited an hour then mowed... humid right now , but cool so have no a/c on... love this time of yr... sure helps the elec bill.... LOL! I just did my monthly set up for the bills... should clean my office now and file all the crap... what happened to the paperless society they said we would have by now... got more now than ever before I think... well told hubby I would make him a typed list of all our movies... don't know why he wants it but he does... so now I have to figure out a good way to make it able to be added to cause he keeps buying new ones ... so have a good evening all... this day has gone by quickly for some reason......

It was kind of exciting but not scary, Sherri. Jonni was a little more excited because she was actually withjn striking distance. I can't tell one kind of snakeskin from another. And my dog hated snakes of any kind. Even snakeskins blowing in a breeze. So now we have bobcats too. I was trying to nap and Jonni woke me with an excited whispery thing. She said bobcat and a kit. So I had to get up and look too. She opened a window and grabbed my cphone to take pics. I said another baby. And then a bit later comes a third cub with a ground squirrel in its mouth. It ran off up the hill behind the gazebo with its kill. I guess it didn't want to share with its siblings. The mama and baby One laid down in the shade. Baby Two was playing around nearer the house. Then baby three came into view with its dinner. They hung around awhile checking us out too. Then got up and sauntered off by the gazebo to see if Three left them any scraps. Beautiful animals.

Yes they are beautiful... was out at inlaws last summer. we were sitting in barn just chatting away with big doors open... and a bobcat came up to open doorway... about 20 ft from us and watched us awhile and then sauntered off.... glad he was so mellow... he has 20 acres of desert out there and all sorts of wildlife... saw deer too at their pond one morning , couldn't let dogs out alone because of the wild life.... and when we walked the trails we had to carry a big stick and a pistol... wild pigs were the scariest, they will attack and have poor vision to boot...
Well off to eat dinner , bbq , so nice today! Nana

We have bobcats too. They kill deer but never seem to eat them. Are they like domesticated cats and just kill for fun. I carry a gun when I walk too. Not so much for bob cats but because one of my neighbors has pitbull's.

I have not seen a wild cat since I was a little girl..we have lynx here but they are a once in a life sighting if you are lucky. There hasn't been a bob cat sighting here in over 70 years I think. DH did see a momma bear and her three cubs yesterday though.
I am waiting for a call for my grocery pick up.

I don't think there's a tract of land in the US that hasn't seen a coyote in the last few years. I saw one in Connecticut when I lived there. Even NY city gets the occasional one. San Francisco got visitors on camera during the lock down. All wildlife loved it when people stayed home and weren't driving around. It made for wonderful captures on security cams.

When we lived out on the farm in Illinois, yes, we saw all kids of wildlife..big and small. Even a fox once. In town (we were up against a field) we might see a coyote once in a great while. Here nope, not even maybe. (we are on the older end of a very large nicer subdivision) We are hard pressed to see the occasional squirrel. Now, 5-ish miles over my DD sees all kinds of wildlife..even large cats occasionally.

Yes, it does sound like a good year for cucumbers. It must feel good to be able to make so many different kinds. So did you get many beans this year ?

Yup, we had a good run of beans....I only bottled up a few though, we ate them fresh.
The next preserving job will be pickled beets.

Tina: You can open a can of beets and quick pickle them. You keep them in the fridge.
I got rid of the great recipe I had when we moved this last time. Not on purpose mind you...but it is gone. I have several others if you are interested, Tina. I love pickled beets, but my DH does not care for beets in any form. Do I found this refrigerator recipe.
Ah..Sunny, now I remember you saying you were all eating them....oh well, enjoying them fresh is better, I am sure.

I grew up with quick pickled canned beets, Carol. I discovered more flavorful recipes as an adult. And I would still use canned beets because I can no longer peel them .

Oh ok..I am still looking for the recipe that uses the liquid from the canned beets. Whole cloves and cinnamom.. It was as close.to my mom' s canned beets that I could ever get to.
If I could remember which cookbook I found it in, I would buy a new one.

Beets are a fall crop here. I'm going to plant some next week if it cools down a little bit. Cucumbers did great here too.

Strangely, My dad never put in a fall garden. And I have never planted beets either. I will look online, Tina, thanks. Good luck with yours Sheri. Tina. The girls are in Preschool but Henry is in first grade this year. Nora and Henry both had colds. They stayed home with their Daddy who is working from home most days in the week. BUT Henry had to have a Covid test before his school would allow him back in school. Of course his test was negative. where Nora can just go back when Mom deems she is well enough. Rod & I asked Henry what he learned at school back on the one day we picked him up from school. He told me he learned about vowels... So I rattle off the vowels, and he says " an T". I said no.& He says stop you are confusing me...So his.mom, the teacher, tried to tell him...they finally settled on him going back to school and finding out and then reporting back to her. It seems "He did not hear or see the teacher properly" LOL Heidi' s favorite part of school is.learning, Cora' s favorite is lunch.and. Nora' s favorite part.is recess.LOL but they all 3 love school. Nora and Cora on the first morning exchanged glasses to try to get to sit at each other's desks, but Heidi ratted them out. And then Nora told the teacher her name was Heidi so she could sit next to Cora......Teacher was not fooled. Now we all knew they would try that...eventually...but before 10 o' clock their first day ??? LOL Also, since mom is a teacher at the same school, she has been filling in their teacher all along..so she was prepared for them. They all 3 slept hard at rest time. Going to bed now. Sleep Well my friends.

Sweet dreams, Carol. That is the sort of things I wanted to hear. Thank you. And could Henry have thought it was "and Y"? I learned them as a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y.

The identical triplets at GG's first school tried fooling the teachers as well, at last their mom painted their nails in 'their' colors to keep them in line. Today I will be restaining the North and East sides of the sheds(our Winters takes a toll on those sides) while DH combines up the last of the oats. I don't think there will be one day of rest this month.

Good morning..coffee is brewing.
Tina, no about Henry..When I ran thru the vowels, I said just that.a e i o u and sometimes Y. And he said..and " t"....he only half pays attention a lot because he thinks he knows better than the teacher most of the time. His mom has been on him though so that is good.
We all knew they would try the twin thing..it is just that we were surprised it happened so fast.
