    good morning, we did our hour walk it was nice .Our weather is crazy it looks like it wants to rain. Yesterday I did the garden on the side of the drive way I put edging down along with hostas and some other plants plus I put mulch down looks really nice. I have some more work I would like to do but not sure if it is going to rain or not. Vix enjoy your painting class hey Roger and Jo

    Hi Irene
    Our weather was threatening looking all day too.
    The red mulch looks good out front and the brown mulch that we out in the backyard garden beds from the 16 bags we bought on sale.
    We had to put fencing around the Hostas we planted last year, the darn Deer were eating them and the Easter type Lillies we also planted. They do not seem to care what they eat.

    Good Luck avoiding them

    Good morning;
    Irene-Good that you saved the squirrel. I hope it didn't do any damage to the lining of the pool.
    Roger-I hope the rain held off so you could get your mulch spread.
    Vix-Yes the plumbing is all fixed. It was so nice to take a hot shower.
    Vinny is home and almost back to his old self. His blood sugar is too high again. I am doing a blood glucose curve to see how he progresses throughout the day. He is back down to 1unit of insulin versus 5 units.
    We have had a great week weather wise so far. I have gotten all my flower beds weeded and some other little projects accomplished. The last project we have to tackle is to put down a flagstone walkway on either side of the side gate into the backyard. We hope to get that done today.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Hi Joanne
    The rain did hold off. When I was bending over weeding before spreading the mulch I could hear my knees cracking :(

    Not my favorite yard work, We have not done any stone/brick work so far this year. We did a lot last year so hopefully no more is needed this year.

    Good Luck with Vinny

    Good morning. It is actually sunny out this morning! p.m. t-storms predicted. t-storms last night, really loud!
    Jo, nice that you got so much done. Flagstones sound nice for a walkway.
    Irene and Roger....mulch is a lot of work....hubby put down 10 bags (I don't have to do it) :)
    Happy Friday!

    more humor :)

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and found no cents. The Temperature out the door was 71 degrees. It is a humid day thus I worked up a sweat. I did see a Fox on my outbound leg after picking up my coffee.

    It was warm yesterday, a fair amount above the normal temperatures for this time of year. Yesterday and today are both humid too. Our chance of rain for yesterday and today has already hit 100%. We had rain and Thunder roll in around 11:30 PM and last for a Hour Plus. I do need to Mow, however with the humidity I think I will wait for tomorrow.

    I look back fondly at Fried bread that I had years ago. I would take the skillet that had bacon fried in it and then when the bacon was done Fry bread in the bacon grease until browned. I did like the taste, Probably bad for my arteries.

    Good morning;
    We had a little rain last night, but the sun is shining now. Partly cloudy with a high in the 80's today. We have nothing planned for today.
    Vinny's blood sugar was still high all day, so last night and this morning I gave him 2 units of insulin. I will do another blood glucose curve in a few days.
    Happy Saturday! :)

    Hi Vix
    I think we put down a total of 21 bags of mulch between the front yard and the garden beds. Not to mention more Topsoil.

    And even when spread thick some of the weeds come up through the mulch :(

    Have a Nnice Day

    I did not really have rain Friday while walking I worked up a case of terminal sweat. It was not comfortable and could have been better if there had been a breeze.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Vix
    Today it is somewhat overcast which should make mowing the lawn easier.

    I'm guessing that the Turtle raced like the wind when You came upon it :smiley:

    I did manage to sleep through those Thunderstorms...

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    The Fried Bread is a different approach to Fry Bread since We used bread out of a loaf of store bought bread.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frybread
    Frybread (also spelled fry bread) is a flat dough bread, fried or deep-fried in oil, shortening, or lard. Made with simple ingredients, frybread can be eaten alone or with various toppings such as honey, jam, powdered sugar, venison, or beef. Frybread can also be made into tacos, like Navajo tacos.

    We did not use a landscape fabric under the Mulch since next spring the mulch will be tilled into the soil as a organic additive.

    Congratulations on getting all that yard work done

    Good morning.
    Strong storms overnight again with another gray, foggy, misty, windy morning.
    Already went on my eliptical and did my pt exercises. Will see what the day brings.
    The turtle actually just sat there, he sort of had his head tucked in. I will try to post a picture, pretty yellow and brown.
    Happy Monday!

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and found no cents. The Temperature out the door was 54 degrees. The rain in the forecast for later Sunday into Monday came true.
    There appeared to have been rain overnight, It had ended as I went out the door then started around the time I was 2 blocks from the house and continued until I was back home. I had checked the 5AM weather forecast and since that showed rain to my east and west heading in my direction so I was dressed for it.

    The humidity was gone and there was a nice breeze blowing Sunday. I mowed the lawn Sunday , when I went out there was no rain falling, However as I pulled the mower after fueling it and a light spritz of rain started and ended before I finished the front lawn. More rain fell around nightfall and lasted maybe an hour.

    Hi Vix
    The picture worked. We had video in the TV news yesterday of a Police officer rescuing a turtle from a busy road.

    The rain had ended before 7AM and should be finished for the day. I need to decide, Walk to the Bank to deposit/cash my pension check or ask my brother to move his Pickup Truck so I can drive up.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning;
    We have the rain this morning.
    Vix-My daughter and I saw a turtle while walking last weekend. I tried to get a picture, but it crawled under some brush before I could take it.
    Roger and Irene-sounds like you were busy doing yard work this weekend.
    Today is the last day of my vacation. I have a follow-up Dr. appt. this morning and the rest of the day is free.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Good morning.
    Another gray misty morning, more rain storms last night. Supposed to be partly cloudy today, so maybe the sun will peek through later.
    No plans for today yet. I need to go to Home Depot and pick up some replacement glass for picture frames. I'm working on fixing up some of the old prints from my MIL, and some came without glass, then I broke one yesterday as I was reassembling it after cleaning. I might get plexiglass instead. It's stronger.
    Happy Monday! :)

I didn't get as much yard work as I wanted but in time it will get done . I did want to go to Trenton and mow that yard but with all the rain it will have to wait.
