Good morning peeps of SF..... 🌞 🌞 🌷

Another glorious sunny day today..... got all the windows and doors open.

I'm not going out today, gonna do a little more in the garden later, I told the gardener not to come .. after he didn't reply to my txt to him until late last night after I sent it to him in the morning asking for conformatiom he was coming this morning.

The he started pleading that he could come later in the evening... I told him no....

I'd rather cut my own lawns than be messed about by him....

Have the best Saturday you can folks... 🌷

I think that's very brave. I definitely could not do it.

I got caught up on my sleep and am ready to tackle the day—after I get coffee first, ha ha. I have an enormous amount of work to catch up on. Not only did I fall behind this week, but I also have a long car repair appointment Monday afternoon, and I hope to leave on Tuesday midday or early afternoon to see the grandbabies. In addition, I need to get work done ahead of time to make up for the time I'll be gone. It's either that or drag the PC (no laptop yet—soon, I hope) with me, and . . . no. I really do not want to do that.

I hope everyone's day is going well. 🦋

I meant to add, the dealership always has a driver on hand to drive customers home, and then pick them back up, so they aren't stuck there, waiting, but to me it's a good excuse to read, and their waiting area is quite nice. So I always just stay.

When I read these two sentences, I thought, "So don't we all".

Does that make sense to you or anyone? It's a normal way of speaking in Massachusetts, at least in the Boston area. It means the exact same thing as "so do we all".

If you know how to make it make sense, please enlighten me. Meanwhile, it's a manner of speaking that seems to be permanently in my head. Probably because I think it is delightful.

It always made sense to me because the context provided the meaning.

If I said, "I'd love an extra week between Thanksgiving and Christmas," the response "So don't we all!" means
"Everyone would obviously like that to happen."

see that's what I need. My new car is due for it's Servce and MOT but the problem is the garage where it needs to be done to be able to hold onto the service Guarantee .. is nowhere near anything where I could go and kill time for 4 hours..... and there's definitely no-one would be able to take me home. I can't get Public transport because it's the next county..so I'm still trying to figure out what to do

Good morning, everyone. It is 55 degrees and will be 81 this afternoon. My lawn mower man came over yesterday to see if I wanted the lawn mowed. It hasn't grown due to cold weather and no rain. So, I said check back next week. He sometimes takes a long time to mow due to his busy schedule. He does a lot of lawns in the neighborhood.

I hope all of you are well today and enjoy your Saturday. :)
 
Morning all, I woke up a bit stiff from yesterday's exercise class,since we didn't have it last week. Our instructor, Susie told us she didn't encounter any problems at the airport when she went to Fla on March 7th to visit family or coming back on March 13th
My long walk of the day at 6:55 temp was 35, a bit foggy,.cool& damp as I went down the street to local co op{am a member} to buy a couple items. It took me 25 min round trip
My plans today, I've invited friends, Don&his partner, Dave for lunch at 12:15, they've been here a couple times,read mes, last time was in Dec. I'll check out dinner menu.I hope to take a shorter walk this afternoon, read my book
Everybody have a good day
 
Another 4am morning. Took me by surprise because I didn't indulge in a nap yesterday. Rarely do I have two very short nights in a row. Sigh...

I read up on carpal tunnel and learned that I should be wearing the brace while sleeping. Oops. Did so last night and it's not as sore today. Thanks for the exercise advice, @hollydolly, I just did them and hope they bring some relief.
 
I've just come in now at 3pm... the sun is warm out there however now it's starting to go from the back over the house to the front..
I've been replacing the old flowered solar lights with new.... and disposing of my tall rattan planter which sat by the back door with spring flowers in, but it's been there now about years and the rattan is coming apart now, so time for it to go...

I also planted some new little Japanese /Taiwanese Photinia into tubs, before putting them into the ground at a later date..

They'll go along side my well established 10 foot shrub...
Had to stop now because my ferkin' hip is killin' me....

Do you always put your plants in to the tubs first for growth, before planting in the ground? Do you feel it works better that way? I've done that with an azalea in a pot now...so I'm keeping an eye on it. Not sure what I'm going to do.

Not always but more often than not.... I like to give them a bit of sun and acclimatise to the area where they will ulimately be planted before I do plant them...

You can see from this photo from some years ago, I've been doing it for a long time

Checking in late,, afternoon here,,2.22.
And sunny.
Ground is wet,, but hubby went to nephews to work/cut up his trees.
He came back about lunch time.

Asked what he wanted,, his new teeth are bothering him.
Lunch for him, instant mashed potatoes & gravy.

Has anyone planted Bachelor Buttons/Cornflower ?
From what I've read is they go to seed,,, spring to life when weather is right.

I'm trying make my flower garden into something that comes back to life in the Spring, thru the seasons.

I think my mother planed them ,, but I don't remember them.

Hubby watching collage wresting.

Our son is back from his Antarctica trip.
We haven't talked to him,,yet.

Hope the rest your day/evening is good.
