Hey! Good afternoon
Nice quiet Saturday morning. Ted made a quick run back to his apartment in ATL, and brought some tools to make a stand for some garden tools..the big ones, like the weed eater, blower, etc....and then he and Maya dog went for a 1.5 mile walk around a near by park..(they do that daily), I have more of the afore mentioned Laundry...going, and that's pretty much my agenda for the day. We MAY make a Whole Foods run just to get me out of the house.
Roger...Our police have instant access from their cars to check on insurance. Yes, we do still have to keep our Insurance Cards with us, but I truly would not have been arrested or cited.
My 'weather station' has a single display unit in the house, but when the outdoor battery gets low, things do get 'wonkey'. Don't know about the new one with the rain gauge...time will tell on that.
Daphne blooms early spring (is blooming now) and is a pleasant aroma shrub. Crepe Myrtles bloom summer, and can be a tree, a tall shrub, or a bush depending on variety. I have one tall one in the back, of the Natchez variety..its white and blooms about June and July...and a lilac blooming one in the front, which I believe is also a Natchez, and I poll it every early spring. (like about now! Need to get roses cut back, the butterfly bush, the crepe myrtle, and after bloom will be the forsythia. Roses will demand trimming and 'debudding' the faded blooms all summer long!
In general, Daphne is a short lived shrub...really neat, compact, and planted near a window or door way will allow you a sweet whiff and you come and go, or open the window. I don't think Crepe Myrtles have an odor.. or at least the ones I have don't. I am drawn to the Natches variety for Crepe's, as they aren't prone to getting powdery mildew like so many things are in the south.
Ok, I have about 3 minutes until my watch will suggest I get up and move around for a minute. Think it will be a good time to move the whites to the dryer!
Later...

I need to do all the usual stuff and we have the monthly regional orchid judging to photograph this afternoon.
I doubt I'll get any nap today.
I hope You enjoy the show. Lucky me, the toner change took around 5 minutes, the Brother is a little more work than a HP for example. You need to pull the Toner unit, remove the toner portion and replace it with the new toner unit then put the entire assembly into the printer.

Having a stand for the garden tools sounds like a good thing to me.

Whole Foods Run, Walk don't run Which FWIW is a name of a movie and here is a link just in case You never saw it, I did enjoy it too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wILPoWNq9Vo
I never looked into it but I suspect that our police can look it up also, however given the way NJ works that info may be out of date.
I would not say mine get wonkey just that they do not transmit as far and the bedroom unit is the one that is furthest away. Good Luck with the rain gauge. I have been pondering whether or not it is worth picking up a entire weather station setup.
Thank You for the information on Daphnes. I did know that trimming a Forsythia before blooms removes the blooms.Daphne blooms early spring (is blooming now) and is a pleasant aroma shrub. Crepe Myrtles bloom summer, and can be a tree, a tall shrub, or a bush depending on variety. I have one tall one in the back, of the Natchez variety..its white and blooms about June and July...and a lilac blooming one in the front, which I believe is also a Natchez, and I poll it every early spring.

The Rose bushes are bit of a pain to deadhead, I seem to always manage to get stuck by the thorns
I wonder is Daphne is hardy here in NJ, Let me Google it.
It did not come from me, maybe Ed ? I shall be reusing it however.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Did I get this from you all...or off of the net? I think its hilarious. And TRUE!!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
5C/41F with an expected high of 5C/42F and 20% chance of precipitation.
I need to clean up yesterday's food bowls and feed the felines. Yesterday was national pizza day so we had pizza for dinner. And I had pizza for breakfast.
Laundry may be on the agenda today.

Good Morning!
Gray, colder than we've had for awhile....nobody wants to go out...not me, not cat, not dog....
Ted's in the garage hanging peg board for me. It's not warm out there either. I offered to bring the space heater but he said he was doing ok...?
Will watch video's and there are a couple of the articles I'd like to read.
Got tickled this morning watching Emmy and the Tofu donuts. I'll bet they are good. I doubt I'll make them, but its a great idea...nice protein boost in the morning.
My diet is shot.
Last night Ted and I had our personal choice of poisons from Whole Foods...and night before that he picked up Indian food from Poona's...and, and, and don't forget the 3 days worth of breads we bought at the Mexican Bakery...well the up shot of all that is I lost a pound and a half..??? What? Wait...how can that be??? Don't know. LOL!!!
It still hasn't rained, and doesn't appear as it will today..just sprinkles. Some Day I'm sure my rain gauge will show rain.... I know it works, as Ted finally went out and poured half a cup of water in it!!
I haven't watched the video about the gal who says she quit sugar for a week... I quit sugar for the month of January. Lasted less than one day!! Can you say addiction?
Ok, lots to do. First I need to get up and just 'move' says the watch. I know many would consider this hourly reminder a pain in the butt, however I rather like being reminded to get away from the computer screen periodically.
Later...0 -
Tonight, braised sirloin tip, in a rich brown gravy made with onions, mushrooms, a generous amount of Sangiovese (red wine), and a squeeze of tomato paste. I served it over creamy, buttery mashed potatoes.
While it simmered, I was drinking some of the wine and had some with the meal as well. I don't anticipate having any wine left in the bottle by the end of the evening as the last of it is in the glass now.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. I decided to walk and the footing was OK, I could hear the surface I was walking on making crunchy noises OTOH. I was careful to keep checking traction periodically as I walked.

100% chance of precipitation for Tuesday and I'm going with 100% for today looking out the window
By the time I saw that it was National Pizza day on the TV news it was to late to pull out a NS pizza as I had already eaten my days worth of food I may have one today for dinner as Pizza sounds good to me.

It isn't the best looking day outside here, OTOH where I am the snow has ended and I told my brother that if he does go to the Barber to give me a heads up as I could use one. mine is getting a bit long.
I'm not sure how Tofu Donuts would taste to me and if they would be worth the effort to acquire all the ingredients etc.
Diet, Yesterday was not great for me, My brother picked up some of the hot foods at the Grocery Store. One meatball, I do not know how they managed it but the darn thing was tough. One over a inch thick slice off of a big meatloaf, How they could call what was entirely Ground Beef meatloaf in a gravy with onions is beyond me, And a Thin Cut Pork Chop in a gravy with button mushrooms. Ha no wonder the scale was up 0.5 pounds this morning, I just looked at the receipt and that weighed 1.23 pounds and guess who ate it all yesterdayMy diet is shot.

Later... Yup You guessed it.
As I said in the replies to Ed, Sugar is addictive IMO as are many if not most carbohydrates.
The scale moves in strange and wondrous ways
I would find those get up prompts annoying even if they were for my good.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 3C/38F with an expected high of 12C/55F and 40% chance of mostly p.m. showers.
I need to do all the usual stuff and might need to get out to buy a few things.

Ah, yes, the ever tricky meatball. Coincidentally, one of today's videos will explain how they managed a tough meatball as it is actually easy to accidentally do. Pay attention to the chatter as they make the turkey meatballs!
Sugar and fat are both addictive!

Hi!
Morning went by in a flash of phone calls, etc. etc. Cleaned bathrooms, meant to mop the front hall, but, that's when the phone went nuts... I'm really over Doctors...all of them, (well except Dr. Pat my Chiro)
Oh, well. Think that's all under control now. And I know they all think they are doing this for my best....
Missed my nap time this afternoon, ? maybe? LOL!
No news here, just a dreary day...which will be better than Tues and Wednesday...showers and drizzle and rain. Dr. appointments both days too. lovely.
Sugar and yes to a degree fat are both addictive. Sugar sets off the same part of the brain as Heroine. Don't think fat does that? I do think that kicking sugar is every bit as hard, maybe more, that quitting cigarettes. And THAT was a chore!
Thinking I'll come back to the articles and video's...somebody please tell Emmy her mouth is not big enough to eat whatever that is she's holding up!!! Will be curious as to what that is...
Later...
