June 2020... Please tell us about your Day... June Flowers should be showing...

Well, a tornado touched down in Orlando tonight and then headed straight for us. Luckily, we dodged it. Then there was another warning about an hour later. I had the closet ready for our hidey-hole.

Pretty spectacular lightning show, though. Last week one of our neighbors got zapped and lost about $6000 worth of electronics. We are the lightning strike capital.

Please stay safe @jujube ! May the powers that be keep those tornadoes away from your home!
 
Was a cold, rainy, windy day, we did need the rain, now i bet we'll have a whole new crop of dandelions.
Kind of a wasteful day.....Did get some long overdue filing done.
And another activity for today.....ate nothing but junk food, morning, lunch, and supper....and my stomach feels like it to....what a dumb thing to do. :sick::sick::sick::sick::sick:

Exactly same as me.... although I stayed overnight in the hospital, but my scar is so tiny, that a doctor examining me last week missed it completely

I can't even find my scar myself. :D It actually is inside my navel and just blends in. The only lasting effect I've had from having my GB removed is that I still can't eat really greasy foods (like sausages) without a "bathroom emergency." :ROFLMAO: I had mine out in 2012.

I'm fine with food since having the GB removed.. except I have to be careful with too much chocolate or it has the same effect as your sausages :ROFLMAO:, but other than that I'm fine.. I think mine was 2009 or 10 :unsure: :D
 
Was a beautiful summer day yesterday, up to 29, pretty good breeze, loads of sun.
Sadly to hear so many of you have to go through such severe weather....Tornadoes....couldn't imagine living with that as often as you do.
We have had so called twisters, still some damage..... a few years back, on the farm, a twister picked up a wooden grainery and dropped it, about 50 ft from where it was. Was a fair amount of damage in the area from this twister. so scary.
Was to be a watch for a severe thunderstorm watch last night, didn't happen, thank goodness.
High humidity today, to be up to 30, wonder what's coming with that.
My Sunday was good.....ripe bananas...made muffins...dug dandelions...and a whole bunch of nothing.
 
Today was a bit on the odd side, high humidity, dark sky, then clear sky, up to 30, thought something was coming, had a few drops of rain, weather watch all day, around 8:00 tonite, the temp started dropping, from 30 down to 17 in about 45 minutes, someone must have got hail.

Got my front yard mowed, i was mowing grass......the neighbour was mowing white dandelions.....looked like a mini snowstorm.....really.
Frustrating, when you try to keep your own yard clean, and neighbours don't.........Oh WELL.....BUMPER crop for next year.
 
Yesterday was a good day all around, except was a cold day, +17, cold north wind, totally puzzles me how the temps can be so different from one day to the next.....must have missed that day at school, when that topic was been taught. 🙃. Got the back yard mowed, sectioned off a space where i've been trying to get a very invasive weed, sprayed it one more time, it's actually coming from the neighbour on my northside,their yard is full of it. If it refuses to die again, will spray Roundup, will kill everything in that spot, grass and all, put down something so nothing will grow through.....spread stones there.....my thought.....if all else fails....use stones. Also.....great party day yesterday. Might get some blocks laid today.
 
yesterday.. I was at my consultant for a follow up on my condition.. and things seem to be improving, so for now he feels that operating will cause more problems than it could relieve.. so that's a good thing that I don't have to have surgery at least for now , but he'll review again if a few weeks..

From there we drove over to the independent farm shop village which is near the consultants clinic , and had a coffee sitting on the fields, where they've made tables available with plenty room for social distancing.

Then we went shopping for groceries, and I also bought 2 summer tops, and a jumper in M&S, all in the sale, ...(y)

Today I took 2 sacks and a very large box of clothing/shoes/books/& handbags, all in great condition to the charity shop distribution centre in the next large town which has opened in lieu of the actual stores opening next month , so that was fab to get them gone.

Then to the Tyre service centre to get a new back tyre.. and while I was there a passer-by came over and told me that my reversing lights weren't working, so I had to have them fixed as well, but next door to the Tyre centre.. see the ''WOW'' thread to see what happened when the mechanic fixed my lights 🥰

Dropped off my husbands shirts at the cleaners.. and popped into the small hardware store, and got some millet for the birds, and a few things which are difficult to buy in the superstores.. that's where independents come into their own.. a little more expensive but handy for elusive items.

All done by lunchtime, and back home just as it started to rain...great timing!!:D

you guys did have a nasty time. We were keeping an eye on it here in Palm Bay. Glad you made out okay.
 
It`s been hot here so after Mr. Robinson got off work yesterday we met our daughter,son in law,my sister and BIL at the boat launch and took their pontoon boat across the lake to a restaurant that was reopening for the first time yesterday.All outdoor dining-not sure if they had indoor yet,we never went inside. Was too perfect to eat inside anyway. Food and service were on point-a little surprising after them having been closed for almost 3 months-AND they had just opened the place a couple of months before that! Owners are a Filipino couple so they offer Filipino dishes,Mexican dishes and American fare. We had some of each and all were perfect! Rode back across the lake at sunset and got the boat on the trailer just as it was getting dark. Perfect evening. Wanted to take pics but I had my purse and phone in the waterproof compartment so didn`t get any.Next time...
 
After breakfast I did about 2 hours of trim painting on the south side of the house. It's been 3 weeks or so since my "minor" outpatient surgery and I'm feeling able now to be accomplishing some of the tasks I postponed since last March when my hernia bulged out. Thanks to the ban on elective surgery after COVID broke out, I had to wait for the procedure.
After painting I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies and then 4 loaves of multi grain bread.....they're for next Saturday's farmers market.....that's the opening day for the season. I'll be very interested to see how many customers show up in the time of pandemic. I bake 4 loaves and 1 batch of cookies every day........that adds up to 20 loaves and 14 or 15 bags of cookies by market day. These last 5 years I've usually sold out by noon.......it's a nice little paying hobby.
 
Today hasn't been a very good day for me. This morning I got a call from my friend and she told me a mutual friend of ours had passed away last night. After crying for a few hours I called my friend who passed away yesterdays sister who is also a friend. Her daughter answered the phone and told me her Mom had passed away last month. So for the rest of the day I didn't answer my phone. I didn't want to hear anymore bad news.
 
Yesterday I ventured out to do the laundry and get groceries.

I attempted to solve my recent phone problem by purchasing a new phone and a plan from Consumer Cellular.

It made me laugh that it took just about as long to buy the phone and set up service as it did to buy my last car.

It made me cry when I realized how frustrating it is to learn how to use the new phone.
