LOL Cute Animals – tumblr_mujhbls6bs1stlkgho1_500
We had quite a storm overnight-into-this-morning, knocking out our power for a very short time. However, I’m reading that a lot of people in our county are still without power. It’s rainy and we’re under a flood watch now, and excessive heat warning later today. It sounds like we should fasten our seat belts.
We’re planning to go to Lunch Bunch later to meet our friends. It will be interesting to see if we 1) have any trouble with flooding on the roads, 2) the restaurant is open and has power, and 3) if our friends come. We’ll plan to hit the local grocery before coming home again. (I would try calling or texting our friends, except that neither one answers their phones or gets texts, so it’s like throwing a bottle in the ocean these days. Getting older is such a treat. :0)
I think I told you my husband decided to sneak out a cut down another tree beside the driveway this week. Each day he’s dragging more of it up to our burn pile. I’m not sure where the tree is. I’m just glad he hasn’t hurt himself trying to tackle this.
I’m not sure about what else we’ll try to do today. I’m enjoying having the front and back doors open to the breeze!

It’s 82 degrees and I THINK has just finished raining here this morning.
My husband did some mowing right before dark. He didn’t finish, but maybe he can do more this evening, if things will dry out. I finished the second flower planter weeding. I don’t know if I can do more today or not.
Before
After – though beaten down a bit by the rain overnight and this morning.
The rainy-ness of the day MAY mean that my husband won’t sneak out a work on cutting down a tree in the “Dangerous Heat Alert” for today, as he did yesterday…
He may decide to substitute that for LED tube installation in our bedroom. I can’t say I’m looking forward to that, but as my mom used to say, “Everything is relative.” This means more to me every day. :0)
Have a fun Thursday.

After # 1
After – 2nd view
I’m thinking I’ll try to get several packages of zinnia seeds to sprinkle on the cleared spaces in the planters once I finish. I truly love the wild, colorful, spontaneous look of those.
I’m waiting awhile before going back out to tackle Planter # 2 for the day.
I hope your Wednesday is going well.

After the rain stopped yesterday, I had two good sessions in the yard. I re-weeded the trio of planters
that run between our front yard and the driveway that had already sprouted up with the rain and the sun we’ve been having.
The second seession also included weeding the brick planter that faces the front yard to the side of our garage where the elephant ear plants are trying to come up.
After the two sessions and before bed, I took a long shower. That helped, but I’m still feeling much older than usual this morning.
This morning I’ll tackle the two brick planters on either side of the garage pad. Both are terribly overgrown, as you can see in these pics –
I’m not sure how far I’ll get, since we’re under an “Excessive Heat Warning” today, but I’ll take it a bit at a time and rest and drink a lot of water between sessions.
If the grass dries up sufficiently, I think my husband is planning to mow. Then the yard will start looking like someone cares. :0)

Colorful blobs are on the way, according to 5News. My source on my computer says the rain is supposed to stop around 10:30 this morning. I have the doors open for a nice breeze this morning.
I was, of course, planning to weed this morning. I’ll bet Mother Nature is hiding somewhere, laughing at me trying to ‘plan’ my days.

My husband just got up, wanting to put in more LED bulbs in our fluorescent fixtures. We compromised that we’ll do some more this afternoon.

I would LOVE to have a mural like this in my home. At least I can enjoy it here with you…
It is NOT raining this morning and the sun is actually out. Of course, NOW the weather folks are warning of intense heat again. :0(
We’ll get our chores out of the way soon with gathering trash and driving it down for pickup tomorrow, getting our mails, and replenishing groceries. The rest of the day is free.

We took a walk around the yard last night to get a bit of exercise and fresh air. Everything needs to be weeded. The combination of daily rains and then sun has made the weeds explode with health. EVERYTHING needs my attention. It makes me tired to even LOOK at it.

Yesterday I did one of our grilling recipes, but INSIDE, since our weather has been so unpredictable. I fixed kielbasa, onions, potatoes, broccoli and tomatoes as a kind of stir fry. It was a nice change and we enjoyed it.
If the stars align, I’m thinking of getting up to my art room for at least a short time today to get things going on the Christmas presents I want to make for my friends this year. I’m planning to try to etch some drinking glasses, personalizing each one. We’ll see how things go.
Have a wonderful Monday. Make this the start of a happy, calm, productive week. Take care!

It’s dark and rainy is supposed to be this way until around 4pm. My husband is happy because he doesn’t have to mow today. :0)
We don’t have any plans today. I’m going to try to cook some kielbasa and veggies for dinner tonight. We usually do this meal on the grill, but the weather hasn’t been cooperative. We’ll see how it does inside.
Otherwise, I’m hoping for a quiet, calm day. Yesterday was challenging. My husband was trying to do something with his computer and phone and was really frustrated, not able to tell me what he was trying to accomplish. I worked with him on and off all day, finally giving up, totally stressed out. Some days are like that, and thankfully, we don’t have them often.
I hope that you are having a nice Sunday.

The sky is dark, the doors are open to the breeze, a quiet rain is falling. The washer is running, my husband, dog, and cat are sleeping. A ‘lulling’ kind of day, encouraging laziness.

Yesterday Lunch Bunch was a bust. No one was there to meet us, plus the restaurant had a closed sign on it, saying they would be closed from the 5th-10th. My only gripe is a lack of good communication. We skip breakfast on Lunch Bunch days because Kay wants to eat so early, so we ended up running our errands and returning home, THEN fixing a late lunch. No problem, just a bit of aggravation.

My husband states he used up all his patience in the Marines – patience for standing in lines, dealing with paperwork, people….. Now we’re dealing with the fact that MY fount of patience with HIS lack of patience is hitting really low levels.
The latest example is dealing with Humana. We’ve tried to insulate ourselves every way possible, but occasionally, they do need to communicate with us. It really gripes my husband that they send him an email, and then make him jump through a bunch of ID hoops before he can find out what they need to know. He’s been ignoring them lately. He yelled at his computer a couple of days ago because they wanted him to sign in again, and then give his birthdate. He figures they KNOW all this stuff. They contacted HIM. He left in a huff and today asked me if I could find out what they want. I’m still trying to get through to them…

On the nice side, we have a nice, gentle rain, no flying hairballs, a nice breeze, and no scary things to deal with today. We’ll take that. :0)

I hope you’re having a good Friday. We have a mixed bag of good and bad today –
GOOD – Lunch Bunch and the chance to catch up with our friends. We have air conditioning to protect us from the heat, but –
BAD – our hot water ‘quick fix’ by our plumber has lived its life and died. He has a new tankless water heater ordered for us, and I’ll call him to see where we are on that.
BAD – my husband and I both had trouble sleeping last night. We were downstairs reading until about 3am.
GOOD – my husband is catching a few extras z’s now before Lunch Bunch and we can take a nap later if we need one.
I hope there is a lot more good than bad in YOUR day today.
