I noticed Magnum Pistachio and chocolate ice cream lollies and Haagen-Dazs Pistachio ice cream tubs. I don't know if they are new but, I haven't seen them before. I am planning to get some to take to the family Bank holiday get-together tomorrow.

Go to Aldi. Buy gelato. Buy lots of gelato, and don't believe the carton where it says five servings. Pfffft. Two servings unless you forget what you're doing and eat the whole tub.

The Naked bike ride is much more civilized,
Than Naked gardening.....she says.
Absolutely! a pleasant little jaunt on a bicycle, admittedly a tad under-dressed, has to be much more civilized and jolly than pruning the roses in the buff, all bare bums and dirty fingernails ...
(damn! no bare bottom emoji )

Finally got some long overdue rain. Of course, it came with a tornado watch. Still, my garden really needs the rain. Not sur if the wind will strip bare my peach tree though.

Seems like nature really took delight in tormenting us this year. First it was a nasty "Tussock moth caterpiller" that will sting you and leave an itchy rash. They liked feeding on the garden. Then, their eggs became moths that feasted on the garden. After them came the "Eastern lubber grasshopper". They are notorious garden pests that can defoliate plants, are toxic to predators, and emit a foul-smelling, hissing foam.
They start out real small, but still eat the heck out of a garden. Later, As they mature through five or six molts, they can reach 3–4 inches long. Right now, they're eating the heck out on my grapes.

Have already spent $1,000+ to get our septic tank pumped out and our toilets still won't flush. So a plumber's on the way. (This stuff always happens at night or on weekends so of course then you've got extra "emergency" fees. So, so tired of this old country living...

I'm a popcornaholic, but plain, lightly salted and topped with nutritional yeast or a spare dusting of cinnamon sugar.Dammit! Now Jules has me craving Cracker Jack.
I lost my fondness for Cracker Jacks. As an adult my strong dislike of food that sticks to my teeth outweighs my moderate affection for caramel.
Even if you toss caution to the wind and look for some Carmel coated popcorn, it always --- has nuts in it. The nut is what
makes me turn away because of dentures. You can't get a peanut moist in your mouth. It's a hassle to eat round them.

Well, the storm passed and all we got was some needed rain and a little wind. no damage. You know, besides the 4 rescues, we has approx. 5-600 different plants that always need attention. You'd think that would be enough, but no, now the wife has basically adopted a family of crows. There's a dad, mom and junior. They come and enjoy all the food she puts out for them. Of course, besides the water filled bird bath, I had to get another one just to put food up away from the dogs and the squirrels. They seem happy.
