Kaila, I would love to see all those Eastern Bluebirds and other pretty coloured birds.

For you easterners, is winter coming earlier and is it nastier than usual? It’s late for us, though it’s finally here. Then this weekend they’re talking rain. The patterns aren’t what I’ve grown to expect.

For many years here, full winter weather would start by November 1st ;
Not in recent years.

Last year, it didn't really start till mid December.

So this year, it's either late or early.
Depending on how you look at it.
Very late, or very early, even. 🙃😄😁
 

I had a google to look at Eastern Bluebirds, they look lovely. How fortunate you are to get a visit from them @Kaila.

As for the idea of building a snowman... I think you made the right decision there. :ROFLMAO: ☃️ Having said that, I am a little envious as we don't get much snow in this area. When we do it's usually a light dusting. On the odd occasion when it settles, it's not usually more than about an inch or so and soon clears up. Having said that... it'll probably snow like mad this winter. ❄️❄️

Grandson is on day off today so he got his hair cut then came round and had a bite to eat with me and a general chit chat. Dad picked him up about 3ish and they went off to buy a Christmas tree. 🎄
 
It's wonderful to hear from you today, as always,
@Pam

I agree, that you are far more likely to get snow, now that you made that quick comment without thoroughly considering the ramifications. 😁😆😄

In addition it is more likely to be a blizzard.
🤣😂😊😄
And possibly arriving at a moment when you've just stepped out your door, or out of the hair stylist. 🫣☺️😊😚🤗🤭

If I reconsider and decide to take dh outdoors to build a☃️
Would you be willing to pop over to help, or to provide a 🥕 for a nose?

I do need my sense of humor to get thru a winter, here!😉😊🫠

The visit from the🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
It's a great help as well!
I'm glad you looked them up.
😀
 

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee:🌲

My day is running four hours behind because son and I got into one of our marathon talks. :) Problems with some of the "science" in my beloved Star Trek Universe, epigenetics, types of government surveillance past, present and potential, near global empires of the past, current draconian rulerships, what is truly inherent in human nature and what is learned, ways our way of life could look very different now had different choices been made a certain points in the timeline, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember now. (Probably more info. than you guys needed to get the point. LOL Hereinafter, I'll just say, "marathon talk," and you'll know what I mean. )

What's funny is that we stopped talking only because the dog needed walking and I really needed to get to my treadmill, exercises and making something to eat. And, ran into each other in the kitchen later and kept talking. Sometimes we just get a groove.

How is everyone faring in the snow, if you've got it? I feel like I dodged a snow-bullet. It snowed here, but by the time I went upstairs to make coffee it was raining and all the snow had been washed away.

@Kaila, I will join you in Florida! How did your little plant hold up in the snow? Nice that you have bluebirds to enjoy. :)

Hoping everyone on this lovely thread is feeling good and staying warm today.

Good evening Kaila and friends. It’s actually late afternoon but will be early evening by time I’m finished writing.

@katlupe- I can relate to your sentiments about writing when you are not feeling well emotionally.

@Pam - I couldn’t help chuckling about the wrong venue. That was kind of cute.

@Medusa- it’s great that you found a YouTube video that’s inspired you with your quilting project. What’s animal crossing?

@CallMeKate - I love the idea of baked beans on mashed potatoes.

@RadishRose - Those carrots and onion dishes look amazing. It’s too bad we couldn’t all get together for a pot luck dinner.

@Kaila - I like the fact that this thread is a ‘come as you are’ thread. I’m glad your day brightened up.

@MarciKS - I hope you enjoy your snow

Today went for a late walk. Once again, we missed the rain. Tonight we are supposed to get snow. I ‘m not sure how much and if it’s going to stay. I hope so, cause I like the snow.

I've got to go out and buy myself another big mug.
I dropped and smashed my last new one, so, I've had to keep filling and drinking from one of those little things they call cups.

'Bing'...... 'a eureka moment'.... I'll buy two, 'cause everyone knows, if you have a spare, you never break the one you are using. 😊

Enjoy your day.
 
Hi Everyone, re-read and caught up on what I missed. Reading here feels like home in a way.

I love how Pam and Medusa have such close relationships with kids, etc!

@Kaila, are you feeling better?
@katlupe, you're grieving. If you don't feel like being chatty, it's ok my friend.

Here in central-ish CT, we had snow yesterday, but not heavy...got short of 2 inches is all. Then it rained and some places had ice. The NW hills got more.

Hope the day goes well for all!

It's funny that 4 hours, which you mentioned for the first part of your marathon talk with son......
it's the actual approximate time that some runners do a marathon. 😁😄😆

I'm glad for you that you missed the type of snowstorm that I got. 😐😬🙄
Honestly and sincerely, I am. 🥰
I've had a difficult time here with that snow. 😒

The little plant is totally covered and not visible, now , and it's successfully put to bed till next early summer, which is when I'll find out hopefully, how it fares.

Sending out my hello, and copious🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕,
Enough for  all of you.

Good afternoon, everyone, from a wet and a bit windy corner of north west England.

Yesterday, I received notification from my mobile phone supplier that at the end of this month they would be moving to 5G. Unfortunately, my old phone is 3G and not compatible for upgrade so it means getting a new phone. That isn't a problem in itself but I started worrying about all the photographs I have on there and how to transfer them across. I ended up messaging my eldest son and he's guided me so the photos are now uploading to a cloud or something...which I'll be able to access from a new phone. I think I have a love hate relationship with technology. 😁

Lovely posts from everyone and I have to agree that this is a great place to be. Are we having a party for the 1st anniversary? 🥳🎉
 
Morning everyone. Sorry I haven't been in much. I've been so tired and kinda down so I haven't wanted to bring any harshness into the carrot room. ;)

Finally got some sleep. Things at work stink right now.

@Kaila I do hope things improve soon. It is so hard when you're not doing well.

Love you all! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗
