I love these. Interesting design for those pots and beautiful plants!! I wish I could grow live plants. I killed every last one of them, even when I thought I was taking good care of them.

@OneEyedDiva The secret is in the amount of benign neglect! Unfortunately, I don't know the correct amount. What works for one, doesn't necessarily work for another.

@hollydolly I love those pots, too. It's what I'd call understated elegance.

@Pepper So so sorry:( DD had to have her dog put down two weeks ago. It's hard to lose a friend.
 

@Pepper
So sorry for your loss, of one of your 2 dear ones. 💓💞💗
He surely was loved. You take such good care of them.
Give extra attention to your Buffy. She and you need each other, all the more, now.
 
Today I looked at the results of my experiment of using my smartphone to take pictures of all the old photos in an album and having them upload themselves to the unlimited online storage in Amazon Prime. Overall it was a success, but a lot of the photos showed up sideways or upside down. I tried editing one to rotate it, but to do that required several steps plus saving the rotated version locally and uploading it, then deleting the upside down version. Too much work for the number of photos that uploaded wonky. And I have many more albums, so I'd rather spend my current time getting the pictures uploaded. I'll plan on rotating all the photos someday in the distant future when I have nothing else to do.

@Pepper - so sorry about Max. {{{hugs}}}

I just found out that my terminally ill friend, Ruth, passed away last Sunday. 💔

Last Thurs, Erin (mutual friend, and Ruth's BFF) sent me a text that Ruth had gone into hospice. I went to see her on Fri. Somehow, Sun night, I never received the text telling me that she was gone.

Her pain is over, and she is at peace.

Trila.....so sorry for the loss of your friend.
She will always be with you, in Memories, in your HEART, and will never fade.
God has another ANGEL...She will REST in PEACE.
 
Today I've done very little after yesterdays' running around.

It was a lovely day but I've got used to the fact that if I do a lot of driving and going from place to place in one day I need to take it easy the next.. so I do..but that doesn't mean sitting around, necessarily..

Today I got up on the ladders and cleaned the porch Canopy.. I'd noticed that there was a slight discolouration where we've had a lot of rain and it looked almost like moss had started to take hold, so I got up there and it cleaned right off and it came up like new again.

Got a little more concern about my garden paths they're beginning to get very mossy . My estranged husband would always have dealt with that in the past but I can't seem to get rid of it. I tried using Wet & Forget a few weeks ago but it didn't make the slightest bit of difference, so I'm a little concerned it's going to get a real carpet of moss on the paths.. might have to call a gardener in..,

Trila I know what it's like to lose a friend. You have my deepest sympathy. May she R.I.P.

I had quite a day. I got some little things done as well as a "big" thing.
~Took a load (really a double load) down to the laundry room at 4:30 a.m.
~Refilled my laundry supplies and disinfected the plastic handle bags I use to bring the clothes upstairs.
~Sorted and bagged what I'll launder next
~Dried the clothes (in my dryer), put the hang-ables away but haven't put everything away yet.
~Finally made calls to Aetna then to the NJ State Health Benefits Program with questions about changing my medicare coverage from Aetna Open Access to Aetna PPO
~Swiffered my floors and cleaned my bathroom. Next up when I get off SF is cleaning up the kitchen.
~I watched a little T.V., had a nice conversation with my BFF and played Words With Friends & Cody Cross.
 
I just had an email from my nephew that my half-brother is at home under hospice care. His cancer has returned and is inoperable. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to meet a few times over the years. He is the eldest. Another half-brother passed several years ago. Sadly, they were estranged .. as we were, for too many years of our lives.

So sorry PINKY.
Praying his passing is peaceful.
My thoughts and sympathy are with you and your family.
 
@hollydolly @katlupe @Lee @Jules @MickaC

Thank you .. I wish I'd had more time while younger to get to know him better. He had an unusual life - joined the Navy at 16, saw the world that way. Until just a few years ago, I last saw him just before he went off to see the world. He'd come to see Mom, and boosted me up to the ceiling. I would have been a toddler. Apparently, he is not in pain, and is ready to leave this earth.
 
@Trila So sorry to hear about your friend. I'm glad you got to visit before she died.

@Pinky Also sorry to hear about your brother. It's good to have nice/fun memories of him.

And for my own news of the day: The co-worker who'd been making every effort to make my work life uncomfortable? She finally went too far. Our supervisor was there and heard her dissing me and complaining that she wanted more money. Then she wandered around for a while among the shelves of cookies, breads, pies, desserts, after showing up late and even after seeing five racks of baked goods waiting to be packaged/priced/put out on the shelves. (A baking rack holds 12 trays of cookies, bread...whatever.)

She was so nasty to me this morning that the thought entered my head to call tomorrow morning and claim that I was far too ill to work. However, tomorrow morning would have rolled around, and I wouldn't have done it. Whatsisname, the Father of My Children, used to call me "Responsible Roberta." Never mind that my name isn't Roberta. LOL

I guess it was the last straw for our supervisor. They both disappeared for a while, and he came back alone and said we're going to have to hire a new bakery clerk. Huh? I asked if she quit. He said no, that she was upstairs getting fired. These days when employers are thrilled to get a person with a pulse, you gotta be pretty bad to get fired.

He told me that he hasn't been unaware of what was going on with her, that she doesn't like "us old people" (he's 57) and that she simply didn't want to work. I really did believe he hadn't noticed...

Whew. Now I feel guilty because I'm not exactly gloating but certainly feeling a bit of Schadenfreude. DD says it's very becoming on me, like a pleasant shade of lavender ;)
 
Wooohooo..... this is for her... being as it's ST Paddy's day tomorrow.. hope she didn't let the door hit her where the good lord split her...

..what a relief for you GG... great news, lets' hope you get a much better worker next time
 
So nice out ,, have been taking Mac out & do yard work at same time.
Not the best way, with him on his leash & me with handful of rotting wood.

I did hang his leash handle over a metal rod & got more old wood hauled to burn pit.
Need the ATV to get the last pieces,,, & hubby took it. :mad:

Mac decided he didn't want the harness or leash, started to roll & fight the leash.

Don't think hubby will let me fence all of our lawn ,, but we need somewhere to let Mac run.
