Daily Greetings

Hi everyone I haven`t added any post to this one yet but after reading all your happenings day by day it is so interesting to see how the other half
live.. specially as we live opposite sides of the globe.. your sleeping we are awake,. and vice versa but life still goes on its merry way where ever we live and we all do practically the same things... love to hear all about your areas and what you did and do each day.. your animals , your walks.. I don`t do any thing much except maybe go shopping each Thursday morning and have a nice coffee with our daughter.. its a ritual as Rachel works all night and comes home at 8 so we go to the shops.. have a coffee first then shop and she comes home to bed.. and doesn`t have to go back to work till the Sunday evening so she has a good rest.. it makes her tired but she seems to enjoy doing it caring for all her patients as she says.. today here it was windy and quite cool so stayed in doors.. and did computer clean ups and read some of my story .. interesting life sometimes lol ..
 

we'll hit 81 today and upper 80's next week. gonna have the AC checked tomorrow. wonder what kinda summer lies ahead ???
 
Good Morning all, just in from the dog's walk. Fine weather. The day bodes well I have started to deal with the 'jungle' at a garden at the rear of the house.

Ina (5th inst) life has not "monotonous" here since my occupational retirement in 1990and technical state retirement a few years later as I have been the sole carer for my invalid wife for the past 14 yrs and have have medical problems of my own.

Hello to everyone. It is May 6th but still cool today. I am longing for warmer days so I can get out and do
some garden work. I have some new spring bulbs to plant but the ground is still too cold and wet.
It will change soon as it always does and the garden plot will get looked after.
Enjoy the day.
 
Good Morning everyone....rain on the way here....looks like about 3 hours away.

My plans for the day include taking my mom out for lunch and a manicure.
 
Good Thursday afternoon to all who check in to chat.
Washed blankets this morning and dried them on the outside line.
They smell nice after being out in the fresh country air and it saves on the electric bill
when not using the dryer.

The rhubarb in the garden is coming along nicely but will not be big enough to eat for a couple of weeks.
I like rhubarb crisp with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream so I am waiting. :)
 
Just got back from trip to Minneapolis.was nice to get away but always good to be back in your own bed.Had a bad fall when away but could of been worse . I am thankful,I didn't break anything.
 
Good morning prairie dog and to those who check in later.

It's a nice sunny morning and time to get out and do some yard work. All the shrubs need to have new
mulch added to keep weeds down and it looks good too.
Still too cool at night to put annuals in the garden but after the full moon tomorrow night it should warm up.
Enjoy the day where ever you are.
 
Saturday here was a sunny and warm day and today is just as nice. :)
I have daffodils and tulips in bloom and a dwarf rhododendron that is just covered in lovely
dark pink flowers. I love flowers of all kinds and it makes me happy to see them blossom during
spring and summer.
Happy Sunday to you and to all who drop in to chat later.
 
Good afternoon everyone, hope your weekend is going well! Beautiful sunny day here, have to take a break from packing stuff for our camping trip after Memorial Day, and catch some rays on a nice little walk. :sunshine:
 
It's a warm but overcast Tuesday here.
Went to a couple of garden centers this morning and got geraniums in a hanging basket.
Also got two flats of mixed colour petunias. Now I have to be patient for the weather to be warm
at night so I can plant them.
 
Voted in Primary Election this morning....watched a guy grind down a stump, to the tune of "Sawdust"!

Good afternoon friends, I'm one week into my summer hibernation. I sure didn't know way back in my twenties that the sun I so loved being out in would lead to Sun poisoning. I literally spent every waking hour in the sun. Gardening, playing one the beaches, boating on the river, even fishing off shore, were (I thought) good healthy activities for my family.
But for the last four years around May, I have had to shut all windows, and pull heavy drapes over them, and turn on all four a/c's. I don't get to go outside into the sun until around October.
But the good thing is, I have this forum to help me throughout this summer. So don't forget your sunscreen friends, and enjoy the sun.:cool2::sunglass::sunshine:

I can go outside, as long as I'm back indoors before the sun is good and out, about 10:00am. The actual heat of the day makes it hard to breath. If I get too much Sun, it's like have the flue along with pneumonia. So I don't have much say in matter. Here's a funnier, all three of my prescriptions say, "May cause sensitivity to light", and it's my own fault.:tapfoot:

Hi neighbor .. so sorry for your sun poisoning Ina. I'm in NW Harris County, between Houston and Austin, and can't imagine staying indoors in the summer. I like the shade when it gets hot like today, but spend a lot of time in the sun too. I've got a yard, pool and garden to take care of by myself. (Hubby died early in 2013) ... and up until NOW, it's really been pleasant in Houston for outdoor activities.

Saw on the news a new product being used in Europe (not approved for use in the US yet?) .. drinkable sunscreen. I'm not sure I would ever want to try that though.

Thanks Ina. My hubby was 68, and we had 49 yrs. together. He worked until the day he died, of a heart attack.
I've got 3 grown kids, and 5 grandkids around the area .. so I'm not alone.
(Not to forget my wonderful animals under foot all day long ..lol .. two dogs and one cat.)

And the hot summer is upon us for sure. Stay cool.:cool:
 
Hello Ina, Bonnie and to all who come by later.
It is a fine day here and I like being out in the sun but do not stay outside during the middle
of the day for more than a few minutes.
When gardening I wear a broad brimmed sun hat but try to do most outside work early in the
morning or early evening.
I have fair, sensitive skin and had sunburns when I was younger and finally learned not to get too
much sun.
Hope everyone has a happy and peaceful day and be kind to yourselves. :)
 
Hello to all of you. I'm peeping through the window and I'm watching the dogs play, and the donkey, who looks like he wants to join them. Michael is starting to do more around the property. I think he is finally getting over his illness, and gaining his strength back. :gettowork::chores:
