Gentle posts for gentle folks

Good morning everyone! Here in the U.S. it's a day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I won't be doing anything special this year because it's still raining, but that's okay... a down day is rare and I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry to report, @PeppermintPatty , that I was about to scoop some of that ice cream out for you, but the container was empty. Now, I'm not one to tattle on friends, but I'll just say that "someone" who looked a lot like this thread's owner was seen scurrying away from the scene of the crime looking over her shoulder and appearing mighty guilty. :unsure:πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

No over-doing it allowed today, Missy Kaila, ya hear? As the old saying goes, "don't make me come over there!" :giggle:

I'm sorry to report πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š
That someone who looked a lot like the host of our ice cream social, apparently did not order more than 1 carton of coffee ice cream. 😬😳😱

Good morning, all. πŸ™‚
And thank you for the greetings and the humor, this morning! ☺️🀩πŸ₯°

It's difficult to not overdo, when so little is so much. πŸ™„πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ«€
But I'm trying.

Just the basic necessary tasks, planned for today.
It's raining heavily, which is fine for me and good for our small garden;
But I'm sorry that the local parades and other's outdoor activities are canceled due to it. πŸ˜’πŸ˜•

Tomorrow will be much nicer outdoors, and in the morning, (Tuesday, that is)
I will be going to the therapy pool. 🀩

I have lived here for 21 years. Many Memorial Days were rainy but I could always hear the parade. The bands, sirens, and then a 21-gun salute. Always... it's tradition and something to look forward to. But this year it's drizzling off and on and they called it off. πŸ₯Ί Must be someone new making those decisions who doesn't like getting a little wet because some years there was a steady moderate rain falling and the band played on.

Same here. I was very surprised that they called off everything.
 
Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. πŸ€— :coffee: 🐝

Bummer about the Memorial Day festivities due to rain. This is an important day to mark. When I was a homeschooling mom I made a point out of instilling the importance of this day and Veteran's day. We took paper poppies to the military graves on Veteran's Day (not all of them, I admit). I hope my son still remembers that. I should ask him.

@Kaila, I'm glad you're trying to take it a bit easy today. :) Good thoughts for you, girl.

Hoping everyone here is feeling alright today and wishing peace to you all. πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•

Good morning @Kaila and all. Yesterday I only had Rocco for the afternoon so I went to Aldi and bought a hanging basket and tub before he got here. When I say hanging basket, it's only a couple plants in a plastic basket, I've transferred them into the tub. As I was awake very early this morning I gave all the plants a really good watering before the sun got into the yard.

Rocco's mum has gone into to work today so I've got him all day, took him for a short walk as it's quite warm out there and I have to consider his paws on the pavement. He didn't mind, he wasn't in the mood for a long walk anyway... he rarely is. I think he's the laziest dog I've ever known. 🀣

Youngest son, partner and grandson have gone away for a few days. The messaged yesterday to say they'd arrived so I can relax. The weather is also warm and sunny where they are - still in England - and should be for the next few days.

Hope your therapy proves helpful today @Kaila. πŸ₯•πŸ€—

Last year I cut back the honeysuckle very hard as it was dragging down the trellis, happy to say that it appears I haven't killed it off and should start showing some flowers next month, so I'm really pleased with that.

Well, that's my gardening info for the day. ;)πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ Have a good day, everyone.

That's wonderful, about the honeysuckle!
@Pam
And I loved reading your entire update.
Also, thank you for sharing the great picture. Those plants will absolutely love being out of that limiting pot that they were in and clearly had over grown!

Good morning to @CallMeKate
And to @PeppermintPatty

And, as PP said, to everyone out there.

I'm getting myself ready to go to my pool therapy, now. Have a good day.
 
Good morning @Kaila and all. Hope your pool therapy went okay Kaila. πŸ€— Is it getting any easier for you?

I've been awake since the crack of dawn so plants have been watered and I too have been fed and watered etc. I'm going to the audiology department at the local hospital later this morning, should really get the tubes in hearing aid changed every 4 - 6 months... and I've left it two years. Ooops.

On th e way home, the bus stops close by a local d-i-y store, which also has a gardening section, so my plan is to call in there and see if any plants interest me.

Have a good day everyone. πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•
 
Good morning, K-Posse! I join with @Pam in hoping that the pool therapy went well for you, Kaila. πŸ€—

I hope you find some fabulous plants in that gardening section, Pam... and that your hospital appointment goes well.

Your picture looks sooooo calming, @Rossana ... that would be a perfect way to spend a late May morning. I've always felt so peaceful around water and I really should get back to the beautiful ocean again soon.
