May 2020... Please Tell us about your Day... May Flowers should be Appearing...

Sassycakes, your hubby is soooo talented. What will the next theme be for the room, has your grandaughter decided?

Got a raised bed frame in place and some soil in it so now off early this morning to the nursery for seeds, and plants.

I do not dare plant carrots, absolutely not. Every time I plant carrots I wind up moving and someone else gets the fruits of my labour, so NO carrots.

I said that last time too, that this is going to be the last stop on the road, yeah right.
 

Well, my day has begun with the most joyful of surprises. My laundry was delivered early this morning and when I opened the door to retrieve it, what to my wondering eyes should be standing before me. Marley the house dog I trained and haven't seen in one month. When I came down with COVID-19, they took her down to the lobby and leashed her behind the reception desk for fear she'd carry pathogens to other residents and infect them. That was later debunked by the CDC and Board of Health, but the powers that be here wouldn't change their position on this. It is inhumane to do this to the dog, but one cannot talk to those who are ignorant of how to raise and care for animals. That being said, since she had no collar on, I have to believe she must have slipped it somehow and came up to my apartment during the night and waited until I got up. Now she's happily sleeping along side me, but fireworks will ensue when this is discovered, I know. Nevertheless, she's safe and with me and we are both happy as clams. I brushed her thoroughly and combed her out. She is short haired, but still has been sadly neglected in that area . Infuriates me to say the least. She is aging fast and I want her to be happy and contented. When I move, I cannot take her with me as she belongs to this facility, so I want to spend as much time as possible with her.
 

Thus far today..I've done nothing of any worth.

Just been watching the political updates on TV.. and not a lot else tbh

Hubs has been conference calling on Zoom all morning... and is now out in the garden digging the patio out. I've managed to find a supplier for the hardcore and the slabs who have stock , which is good news.

I'm just about make lunch.... steak pasties... :)
 
This is yesterday's news......youngest grandson turned 4, came running to gramma for a BIG HUG, sometimes safe has to stretch a bit....not such goods news....grandchild # 4 miscarried 😢😢😢😢, mom's okay, of course safe stretched a lot. Today, cold, +2, raining, maybe turn to snow. 😠.
 
This morning I used the ATM machine at my bank,first time I've used one in many years,was a tad confusing.It took forever for the card to come back out,not happy with this experience
In the future,I'll call and make an appt to come into the bank where I feel more comfortable doing my bank transactions
This afternoon,I took my next door neighbor,Pat outside for a walk around our garden complex wearing our masks,she was using her walker.Its been a beautiful day here for a change,hopefully on Sat we can come out again since it will be bit warmer near 70

What a good neighbour you are for Pat......i bet she enjoys the outing greatly.
 
Very uneventful day today. Rain and cold all day, it's warmer out now than it was during today. Tried to get my imagination working for my next yard job, blank today, might have to start on someone else's yard. ;). Saw my first Oriole today, haven't seen any Purple Martins yet, should be anytime, they definitely don't like cold. Spring is a sad reminder of how much i miss the farm, the bird population arrivals were standing room only, could hardly hear yourself think over the, singing their little hearts out.
 
Good Morning Everyone...
WoW, Thursday already, not quite sure where this week went, but Thursday already... Well yesterday, we got the trailer out of the back forty. So now I can use whatever spare time I have to fix it up and make a great utility trailer out of it. It is a 12X6... Least this one I will be able to see from the mirrors in the truck. The one I am using now is a 4X6... and when backing up, I haven't a clue where it is.

Bought a bar for my chainsaw a couple of weeks, but the gap on the var is too small for my chain... So gonna have to take it back, maybe today or tomorrow and get a new one.

Starting to warm up again, soo I have the plants outside in their containers, going to buy some more dirt for the garden area. Hopefully plant in a couple more weeks, after we know for a fact that the frost at night is gone.

Well, hope YOU all have a GREAT day, keep Safe... and God Bless YOU all...

Micka, so sorry about your daughter's miscarriage. Why things like that happen no one knows. But glad to hear she is all right.

It's raining cats and dogs at the moment....always wondered how that silly saying came about.

Got my garden planted yesterday, carting 30 bags of dirt had to have taken off at least a few pounds, nah, I rewarded myself with a Boston Cream, pounds back on.
 
It's another glorious day.. 🌞 we've spent the morning in the garden having our tea and snack lunch... Hubs is continuing to work in the garden, and get the new patio all done before he has to return to work..

I was hoping to be able to go out for a drive somewhere today, just to keep my car from sitting there doing nothing.. however, I have 3 parcels being delivered today only got the notification this morning... 2 have been delivered separately already just moments ago , and the third has no tracking so I don't know when that'll arrive..

Hopefully I'll get out sometime this weekend... ...🌺🌸
 
Wednesday and Thursday, rained both days, and cold. Woke up to a beautiful morning, today, coffee on the deck, listening to all the birds happy songs, doesn't get any better. Forecast has promises of sunny, temps in the 20's, and thursday coming 28....happy, happy and more happy. Something sad......in 25 days is the longest day of the year :D, then downhill from there 😞. Must make the best of the good now.
 
When I went on my early walk around 6:30 to buy local paper&USA Today it was warm in the high 50's.I took the umbrella since the forecast is for rain on/off,didn't need it
I didn't see anybody on my walk,heard the birds chirping,saw 'thumper/thumperina' munching grass on neighbor's lawn
This morning a friend/resident,Thora&I are going to TOPS one of the local grocery stores here in WNY.This particular store has moved items,trying to find them in their new location has been frustrating.
The rest of my day,read the papers,maybe a afternoon walk after lunch&nap if its not raining,read my book
 
Passing rain today. not much to do.
However, we took a step in another direction yesterday. We decided to help a newly divorced mom and her 2 son's that my wife knew. They were traveling without any direction and somehow ended up in West Arkansas. Wife got hold of her and we set up our second motor home for them to stay in while they decide which way to turn in life. I wonder how many other poor souls are wandering aimlessly after a messy divorce. :(
While sitting on our porch, she remarked that we were living in heaven. :unsure: You know, sometimes it's right in front of you and you don't even know it until you see it through others eye's. :)
 
Good Morning Folks

Sounds like everyone got rain yesterday, including ourselves... Down poured all day but was needed BIG time... Filled the pool right up, so will be able to do a backwash today...

Yesterday took the truck in for an oil change, picked up some dirt, beer, Gin, Wine, Vodka... I was asked at the liquor store if I was having a party or sumthin... I said yup, having all my imaginary friends over, I replied yup, Looked at the clerk, and a few customers, and told them their imaginary selves were invited.

Well, planning to work around on the property this long weekend... Not planning a lot else...

I hope YOU all have a wonderful weekend, Keep Safe... and God Bless All
 
No rain for us .... we haven't had rain for weeks. Beautiful sunny warm day yesterday..today it's semi cloudy with short sharp bursts of Sun .

Lst night I couldn't sleep I was soo cold in my bed, I have no idea where the cold suddenly came from, but I had to get up at 5am, and grope around in the dark for my Fleecy winter dressing gown to throw on top of the bed so I could get warm and get some sleep.. but it's warm again this morning.. very odd!!
 
We had rain here yesterday too. Now everything looks neon green. I opened the window as soon as I got up because I was so hot and now I can hear the birds' morning conversations. I have missed that since moving here.

If it is nice today, I need to drive "Jazzy" (my mobility chair) to TOPS, our closes grocery store for some food for Rabbit. Otherwise he can just have hay.

Planning on doing laundry, which lately I have put off doing for some reason. I usually like doing it and it is not like I have a huge amount.
