April 2020... Please tell us how your day is Going... April Showers bring May Flowers...

Today sucks. Was coming back from KFC (drive thru) and hit a new, world class, pot hole. Immediately, a warning light come on and says my right rear tire pressure is low, and showed 8 psi. By the time I got home (less than 1/2 mile), it showed 4 psi.

Called the local GM dealer, they don't have the correct tire in stock, and it will be Monday afternoon. Also, the car comes with "run flat" tires, so no spare or jack. The dealer is 7 miles away, so I'll just drive slowly with the airless tire to the shop. Bummer.

Check your insurance for roadside assistance to see if you can have a rollback truck take it to the dealership for you.

Good luck!

Hey Buckeye... Was wondering, a lot of cars now come in the trunk instead of a dummy tire, they come with a spray can, that pumps the tire up, and fills the hole in the tire... But I know a lot of new cars around here some like that, and never knew till my Brother-in-law who owns Chrysler dealerships told me that... and most cars come that way now... Check your manual and your trunk...

Good Evening Everyone...
Well, it's Friday, the busy day had a few of the ol'boys over, we kept our distance... and then we went for a walk around the entire property... Looked at all the cars that have been left on the property over the years. We found several old chevies from 49 to 68... An old Bug, 46 Ford Pickup, a 69 mustang and several others that we couldn't get close enough to! I knew they were all out there, but the boys enjoyed looking, we were like a bunch of 15 years old out exploring... That was the first time I walked that far on the uneven ground since I broke my leg, she's pretty sore and swollen tonight...

Anyways, that was the day, So I hope YOU all have a GREAT evening, keep Safe... and God Bless YOU all...
 

Well, the weather guys had been predicting the possibility of "hail" from a thunderstorm a day last week and one earlier this week so we put the Caddy in the garage for a week...just took it out and at 10 pm last night we heard hail bouncing off the back deck. Hub ran and put the Caddy back in the garage. Will see this morning what damage was done. We hadn't had hail damage in all these years until about 4 years ago when the Caddy (when it was less than 6 months old) got hammered to the tune of $3,700 insurance bucks.

Told hub it must be the Caddy. Isn't that hail!
 
Just after 1pm here... Been a grey start to the day until about an hour ago when the sun and warmth returned.... really blue skies again.

Not going anywhere , the frosty atmosphere between him and I has not thawed since yesterday I'm mad as hell at him , so he can just get on with the decorating, and leave me alone... to do my own thing..

Holly,what did hubby do to make you po'd at him? Sue
 
I went on my early walk this morning around 6:45, was 33 refreshing with no wind.I saw Michael who lives down the street, taking his 2 little dogs for their morning walk.He was the only person I saw
Today will be the best day of the weekend,sunny near 60
When I came back I told my next door neighbor,Pat we were going out this afternoon for a walk around our community garden. We are close friends,she can be stubborn at times, doesn't get outside too often She said'I don't feel up to it'.She just called me 'I've changed my mind,thankyou for thinking of me' This will be the highlight of my day
 
Holly, Hope you're all OK and things set sorted out quickly.

Up here in the village that time forgot, nothing has happened. I fitted a new burner unit to the central heating boiler yesterday. It had become very noisy and it was more economic to replace the whole unit than to buy all the parts. It was just a 15 min job. Take the old unit out, swap the fuel line and power cable and bolt the new one in. It runs on kerosene so no gas safety concerns.

After a dull start today, the sun has come out - clear skies, but a cool breeze. Tidied up the summerhouse and went for a walk.
Everything is very green and the crops are growing well. Some ewes and their lambs in the field behind us. Having a lazy(ish) afternoon.

No such luck - plus the side wall is busted so "fix-a-flat" wouldn't help.
 
Was one of the few sunny days we have had here,today.
Transplanted violas, from yard to flower bed.
Asked hubby to bring over some compost while he had the backhoe out.
Bought over 5 buckets full.

Since it was well rotted horse poop,, hope some leaches dwon to the apple trees.
Tried to spread it around,, too lumpy to spread.

Later worked in asparagus patch,, dug out danelions & other weeds.
Found some asparagus to pick,,not enough for a meal.

Evening is getting cloudy, rain coming.
 
Good Morning One and All...
Yesterday was a GREAT day, was surprised at how much I got done, with no sleep the night before... Even got some sun, and some colour to me now...:) Lorie and I worked on the lean-shade structure I am making for Carl to get out of the sun, but tall enough for people too. We were also thinking this has to be the 1st year that the pool is up and running by the end of April. Water is at 36 degrees right now, think cold enough if anyone wants to do a Polar Splash... Also got the fence we put around the pool last year all screwed and secured at the bottom... Not sure what we are doing today, may go for a drive on the country roads today...

Well hope everyone has a GREAT day today, Please keep SAFE... and God Bless YOU all
 
Nothing much happening yet, only 11am... hubs is taking a door off in the room he's decorating , and going to be painting it in the garden .. the sun is out again, another glorious morning with blue skies.. the windows are all thrown wide open as usual , I can hear someone in the distance mowing, and the birds outside my window at the feeders...

"Yup, going to plant them this afternoon, or tomorrow morning, We get sun all day, so I can put them in a window, and on warm days, I'll put them outside... My hardest thing to do is, is to keep Ginger our cat out of them... They won't be put in the ground till the end of May like you... Good Luck with them..."

Thanks - I finally planted the recycled green-pepper seeds indoors yesterday. Really hope they take! Also, took advantage of the warmish weather yesterday to pull more weeds. Wore myself out and the elbow aches like crazy again - I think it is something that I will have to learn to live with for the rest of my days. For the good news, today is all rainy and cold, which gives me an excuse to stay indoors and let my body recoup!
 
What a difference a day makes
Yesterday was beautiful temps in low 60's.I took my next door neighbor,Pat outside for a walk around our community garden.Another resident,Mary was there as well,we proceeded to join her in the back where some chairs were,not the most comfortable.
We had our masks on did social distancing, 20 min later another resident,Jill joined us. We were out there for 1 hr 1/2.It was wonderful,Pat said to me'thankyou for bringing me out,made my day'
Ho,Hum,its another cloudy/on/off rainy day here in Buffalo.When I went on my early walk around 6:45 to get the local paper,temp was 45.The birds were singing,didn't see anybody
I'll watch online church service,read the paper may go for another walk in afternoon if it isn't raining too hard
 
Holly, those bird seed cage covers you show are great. I had some smaller ones but the birds would not go in them, guess it was a feeling of getting trapped. But I do think with the bigger cover it would solve that problem. I grease the pole with vaseline to thwart the squirrels, besides it's fun to watch them start to climb, hit the middle of the pole where the vaseline is and slowly slide to the ground.

I'm making another set of drapes today and that will be it for awhile.....unless it's to a move to a different abode.

That green bell pepper pot I kept going all winter has a gazillion peppers on it - have already harvested a couple. Hope your green peppers grown from seeds come out great...never done that. I'm hesitant to put this pepper potted plant in the ground now!

Here ya are Lee, we get all our stuff from this place, you've probably got an equivalent in Canada.... https://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/category/bird-care/wild-and-garden-bird-feeders/.... we don't have many squirrels come into the garden here oddly, because they're around in the area... but I do think it's funny to watch a squirrel spinning around or sliding down a pole when it's going after the birds feeders.. :LOL:
