    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! And it's another fairly hot one, but not "fry an egg on the sidewalk" hot. As usual, a good chance of afternoon showers. If they aren't noisy showers, that makes a lovely afternoon for a nap.

    Yesterday we had lasagna, from Lidl, for supper. I was surprised to find that they make a vegetable lasagna similar to the Stouffers Alfredo veggie lasagna, so I was compelled to buy it. That was one of my impulse purchases yesterday, while searching for the veggie burgers.

    At least I won't need to search for the burgers again soon, as I got a family size box of 12 and we are a family of only 2 so it will last a while. J sometimes likes them crumbled and made into a hash with small diced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers; then stir in scrambled eggs and some shredded cheese to top it all off.

    For tonight's Friday night stay-at-home dinner-and-a-show "night out" it will be Lidl frozen pizza. It looks a lot like Tombstone, but an ounce heavier and a bit less expensive. We tried it once before but I think I need to bring the oven rack down one notch and see if that gets the crust a bit crispier. Or maybe just cook it a bit longer. It turned out good the last time, but I think I can get it better.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! A little cooler this morning but it is supposed to be creeping up to a hotter afternoon than we have been having. It's very sticky out now, but may dry up some later, if the humidity decreases.

    Our virtual night out (at home) went a bit late last night, but the cats let me sleep in for an extra half hour or so. Wasn't that generous of them?

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Another hot one here, but not quite so sticky this morning. I might do some laundry today.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It should be a bit cooler today and I am fine with that! It's also a little less humid, though possible afternoon storms may change the humidity if they happen.

    Dinner last night was a veggie burger hash that my inner Eduardo came up with, using some frozen potatoes O'Brien, crumbled veggie burgers, original Garden Burger style, a can of chili beans, and a light sprinkling of shredded cheese to finish, all seasoned with a little salt, pepper, and hot Hungarian paprika. I served with salsa on the side, but J commented after dinner that ketchup might have been better with it. I swear, J could put ketchup on pancakes. Well, maybe not, as I have never actually seen that, only butter and syrup, maybe whipped cream and fruit. LOL.

    Not a lot on the agenda today. My early voting for the August 11 run-offs has been taken care of.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Quite a bit cooler this morning, after yesterday's loud storms, but still getting up to 88 this afternoon. 100% humidity right now.

    We lost power for about half an hour last night, but it was well after the storms, and (thankfully) after we had eaten supper. When I checked the power company's web site, the projected restoration was about three hours! So we were pleasantly surprised when the power came back on so soon.

    I need to call the vet for a refill on Lilo's Adequan.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! A bit cooler today, with a chance of afternoon storms. That seems to be pretty normal for this time of year, this year. I don't think we are actually caught up on rainfall yet, but at least it hasn't been as dry as I remember a lot of last year being. Knock on wood...

    I made an early morning run to Kroger and my bank balance is now down by $150. but I got a lot of things I needed and stocked up on a few things that were on sale, or finally IN STOCK. Thank goodness the major paper product hoarding and such seems to be over, for now anyway. I didn't need any paper products, but did need eggs, some canned beans, legume based pasta, high fiber, low carb bread, and disposable razors for sensitive skin, along with various other grocery items.

    After I finished putting all that away, and washing my hands again, I started on my breakfast, and heard the lawn crew arrive and start working. They were about finished by the time I had cooked and eaten my breakfast, and gone by the time I got to sit down at my computer. I think I heard the garbage truck just a moment ago, so can probably bring that bin up in a few minutes. The recycle pickup is usually in the afternoon, around 2:00 or 3:00.

    Our "taco Tuesday" supper last night, as usual, wasn't tacos at all, but one of Eduardo's versions of huevos rancheros. It was a pretty easy supper.

    One jazzed up small package of vegetarian yellow rice (most brands aren't) that Eduardo made extra spicy, and one jazzed up can of vegetarian refried beans made two plates with the beans and rice side by side, each with a light sprinkle of shredded cheese. Then two fried eggs topped each plate, J's over broken, hard, and mine sunny side up. A jar of hot salsa on the side completed the meal nicely.

    Other than the grocery run, and a hoped for nap this afternoon, not a lot of necessary stuff on the agenda. I didn't seem to have a nap in me yesterday, though I did try.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! The temperature may creep up a degree or two today, but less chance of rain.

    Yesterday ended up having a bit more business to take care of than I had reckoned. I realized I had a coupon for $10 off on any purchase over $40 at PetSmart, but the coupon would expire August 5th, and yesterday was August 5th.

    I hadn't really NEEDED to make my monthly run to PetSmart yet, but didn't want to lose that $10 off, so I headed out and stocked up on cat foods and kitty litter, spending $99 to save $10, but that takes care of their food and hygienic needs until next month, except for one bag of kibble that I need to order on Amazon at some point this month.

    I did get my nap, albeit a short one. I might do some laundry today. Might not. LOL.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! The humidity is at 97% as it's just a hair warmer than the dewpoint. It's supposed to get near 90 today with 50% chance of scattered thunderstorms around noon and the early afternoon.

    Breakfast was sausage patties with a French toast cheese sandwich.

    Not a lot on the agenda today if I have anything to do with it.

    I haven't made it to the post office to forward your card yet, Val.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It's sticky and cool at the moment, thanks to last night's downpour, along with lightning, thunder, and all that. But no power problems. It should be back up to normal(ish) summer heat this afternoon.

    I have nowhere I have to be today other than HOME, waiting for my wine delivery. After that, I suppose I could go somewhere if I wanted, but where would I go? LOL

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Warm and sticky out there again, and there is a significant chance of thundershowers in the afternoon.

    I have the dishwasher running now and probably will have the clothes washer (and dryer) running later.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Warm and a bit sticky out there now, with a high near 90 expected and the usual chance of afternoon thunder showers. I have given Lilo her Monday morning fluid treatment, and eaten breakfast.

    For dinner last night we started with breaded Camembert that came with lingonberry sauce (bought frozen at Lidl) and then ate the pasta bake I made using chickpea rotini, a jar of marinara sauce, and some Mozzarella cheese, topped with a final generous sprinkle of Parmesan Romano blend. It all baked up to beautiful tasty dinner.

    Then, just before bed, a small, individual cup each, of blueberry crumble, the filling sweetened with Swerve, the crumble topping sweetened with Splenda brown sugar blend. One small scoop of vanilla ice cream to top that off.

    The little drainage creek going down the south side of our yard belongs to the neighbor behind the fence. There was a big line of scrubby, grubby, weedy growth with briars on "our" side, on the strip of land that he owns.

    Most people, seeing it, would have assumed that ugly mess belonged to us. But today I wandered out into the yard and discovered him cleaning all of that up! He was nearly finished when I discovered him.

    His clean-up makes our yard look much nicer on that side, and I was very glad to see it. I went back as he was finishing up and gave him a bottle of Chardonnay to stick in the refrigerator and enjoy later.

    Today's wine delivery not only tops off my wine storage, but also has some bottles that promise to be very nice, with a good variety of varietals. 🙂

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It's the usual warm and sticky out there, with an expected high of 90 and minimal chance of rain. I did actually get a nap in yesterday, as the wine was all delivered, checked off against the order, and put away. One bottle was a year newer than expected (2019 instead of 2018) and two bottles of Merlot were substituted with bottles of the same varietal, Merlot, but Estate Reserve (the better stuff) from another Vintner all the way across the country (Washington state rather than New York state), and a year older (2015 instead of 2016) so they have had an extra year to mature and develop more complexity, and the substitutions were from a very well regarded winery.

    I need to get out this morning as Lilo's medicine is finally ready for me to pick up. And it should come as no surprise to anyone that there is a dryer full of laundry from yesterday that needs to be folded and put away.

    Tonight's "Taco Tuesday" dinner of nachos did at least contain some taco seasoned, crumbled veggie burgers.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I woke early and drove to Kroger to take advantage of the senior hours, and avoid crowds. My receipt says I saved $38.91 but my bank account begs to differ, insisting that I spent $143.99. I think the bank account wins that discussion...

    I have a couple of additional items to get, but Lidl doesn't open until 8:00 so I will head there shortly.

    Still need to fold that dryer full of laundry.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's another hot, sticky summer day, with a good chance of evening showers.

    I actually got my laundry folded and put away yesterday, even after all that shopping in the morning. I didn't need much from Lidl yesterday, after that big Kroger run, and, since I was there right after my breakfast, I didn't buy a TOO much un-needed stuff, but some indulgences managed to fall into my stuff. I can't imagine how that happened. LOL.

    I know. It was Eduardo! He snuck those things into my buggy when I wasn't looking...That's my story and I am sticking to it!

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! A bit cooler today but last night's bit of rain, with lots of grumbling and noise, seems to have presaged another afternoon and evening of the same today.

    One of the trees in the uphill neighbor's yard seems to have lost a couple of branches, that have swayed down over our kitchen patio in their dying gasps. A small one is laying partially on our roof but no apparent damage.

    I trimmed what I could reach from the ground with my loppers, which took some of the weight off what is still hanging down, partially attached to the tree, but we may have to call someone in to take down the rest. I will assess that after I see what else I can do with my ladders, loppers, and saws...it's a bit warm to do much of that kind of work outside, at least at my age.

    Well, I was able to trim off the parts of tree that were touching the roof, and the parts partially obstructing our walk way. One tree has a dying branch that still overhangs the roof a little, but nothing that would damage it, even if it came straight down. It's not likely to come straight down anyway, but more likely to swing toward the uphill fence and just bump it, without likely damaging the fence either.

    The other tree looks like it lost the whole top and may die. But what's left that I couldn't reach is being held up mostly by another, bigger tree and likewise doesn't look like an immediate threat to anything now, after my trimming of what I could reach.

    Both trees broke way too high for me to get up there and properly take down the rest anyway, so we'll monitor that situation and, if necessary, call some professional help in later. It may never be a problem.

    I may do some house cleaning later. I have already run the dishwasher and put all the clean dishes away. And I have done my monthly flush of the air conditioner drain.

    I have the clothes washer running a CLEAN WASHER cycle, with only bleach, now, which should be done in about an hour, and I have the coffee/tea maker started on a cleaning cycle of its own, with half a pot of white vinegar put in, the device started, run until some of it dripped through, and then shut off to let the innards soak in vinegar for about half an hour, after which I will turn it back on and let the rest of the vinegar cycle through and then flush it by cycling three pots of fresh water through it.

    So I am having at least something of a productive morning.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Just a teensy bit cooler today, and a teensy bit less sticky. The downhill neighbor was noisily working on his side of the little drainage creek all day yesterday. That made napping a bit difficult but his compressor (pressure washing the fence too) was mostly a regular enough sound that I was able to tune it out, except for times when the cadence occasionally changed.

    I need to run the dishwasher today.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! A bit cooler with a good chance of late afternoon/evening rain. With the rain there should come a few days of lower temperatures, which I know I will enjoy.

    Might hop out to Lidl for a few things this morning.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Cooler today with a good chance of mostly afternoon, evening, and overnight showers. We did get some rain yesterday, but Mother Nature was apparently in a good mood and didn't throw in a lot of wind, fireworks, and noise. I did get out to Lidl yesterday and spend more than I needed to, but we will eat all that I bought so it's all good.

I went outside to push the Four O'Clocks back into the flower bed, as they get too tall and lean out (and fall) over the front door sidewalk, especially badly after rain. They lean that way to try to reach the sun. I have to periodically push them back, even without rain, but it's worse right after a rain. I love the flowers, but am not overly fond of the insane growth habit they exhibit where I planted them. They aren't normally supposed to get as tall as they do, but I think, in reaching for the sun, they overreach themselves because of the hedge on the other side of that walk.

    Still, they create a lovely display of blooms all summer long, so I am not going to even attempt to remove them. As aggressive as they are, I doubt I could ever completely eliminate them anyway. I still have a few passion flowers growing in the hedge that I have been trying to keep down for years. But I originally planted them, so there is no one else to blame if I find them annoying sometimes. LOL.

    We had breakfast for dinner last night. I had scrambled eggs with sausage crumbles and cheese, with one gloriously tall buttermilk biscuit (from the freezer) and some bacon. For J I prepared some hash brown patties in the toaster oven, and made an omelet Palm Beach. For that, the filling was gourmet pimiento cheese with jalapeno.

    Howdy all y'all. It's soggy Saturday! We had some really loud, scary thundershowers last night right around suppertime. I had already baked my pizza but J was working late, and right after I started the other pizza, the lights flickered, and then, a minute or two later went out. They were only out for a minute, which didn't really affect the pizza in the toaster oven at all, but the cats and I were quite disturbed by the nearby lightning and instant, very loud thunder.

    It's foggy and soggy out there now. I stepped out to check for any visible storm damage from last night's storm, but saw none. Luckily, I did not notice any significant wind, just a lot of rain and the light and noise show.

    Not raining at the moment, but this afternoon and evening may be a repeat of last night.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Another cooler day is progressing, with some chance of afternoon showers. I may do laundry today.

    Just because I STARTED the laundry on Sunday doesn't mean I will FINISH it on Sunday. Or even on Monday...

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Rain today will help keep it cooler. I just didn't feel like cooking last night so we ordered pizza, as that was all that sounded good to me. So...guess what I had for breakfast, and will be having for lunch today too?

    And the laundry, while it IS clean, is still in the dryer. LOL.

    Granny is making some more packaged foods, enhanced of course with additional stuff, as all such food should be. I suspect a lot of what she makes is donated. I know the people always seem glad to get whatever she makes, and it's nice that sometimes it is snacky stuff or even dessert, especially for the kids.
