    Good Morning, well today I need to mow the yard here in Browns Mills . Didn't get much done yesterday I had to go to the DRs got bite by a tick so he put me on meds for 10 days . I guess we are going to spray the yard and make sure there isn't any living ticks . Sorry the implant didn't take Vix hope they can come up with a plan. well gotta go mow . Hey Jo

    Hi Irene
    I'm sorry to hear that. I guess better safe than sorry with the Meds.

    My Brother will not spray the yard front or back as he worries about the pesticide getting in the produce he grows in the garden.

    Good Luck

    Good morning;
    Vix-I hope the Perio can come up with a simple solution.
    Irene-sorry to hear you got bit by a tick.
    It is a beautiful day, sunny and low humidity.
    I found 36 cents this week. :)
    Nothing planned for today, I may go to the outlet stores and walk around.
    Have a good day. :)

    Good morning.
    congrats on your 36 cents, Jo. :wink:
    Irene, better off safe than sorry with the tick bites. I see no good reason for mosquitos, fleas, and ticks. Now, why can't they become extinct?
    Roger, good job with all the early morning walking. I took it easy for the last couple of days.
    I have another infection around a dental implant, so the plan for now is to take some antibiotics. The perio said the other implant that is loose should fall out by itself, and he doesn't want to surgically remove it. I guess he'll figure out next steps after the course of antibiotics.
    Art class today. Happy Thursday! :)

    I have posted more humor, Enjoy
    BTW I would like some feedback on the last item :smiley:

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 71 degrees. Once again it was sort of comfortable outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. I did see squirrels foraging for their breakfast in the Garbage cans in front of the shopping center :smiley:

    Hi Joanne
    Our Humidity has been going up and down like a Yo-Yo.

    I find a lot of my change laying around in parking lots. My brother believes that it falls to the ground when people are pulling out their keys.

    Congrats on Your Monetary finds.

    Hi Vix
    Since You love Mosquitoes so much You might find this link interesting.

    Study: Tech Could Eliminate Mosquitoes ‘On A Continental Scale’

    That stinks, More money and time needed in the future :(
    IMO the infection could contribute to a lack of motivation for walking.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    I have been getting up earlier than last year and here I was thinking that getting up at 4:30 was early :wink:

    That sounds reasonable to me, with flowers it shouldn't matter. We have been tending towards Perennials and things like Dahlias and Gladiolus. The last two require more care than just plant and leave a those two need to be dug up in the fall and stored.
    I hope You had a enjoyable Lunch

    I have some itchy bug bites that I have been collecting while walking, Nothing I want to collect of course.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning. Gray again outside. 68 here, which is supposed to be the high for the day...a nice change from the heat.
    Roger, I liked the political one, but I'm sure it depends on where your sympathies are. And about the mosquitos...I would not have any problem with their extinction. That would be a good use of these new technologies that are emerging. I hope over all, the new technologies and medical advances are used wisely.
    Irene, good to go out with girlfriends! I know you are enjoying your pool. :)
    Hi Jo, any good finds at the outlet stores?
    Seeing the functional Dr. today. No other specific plans. Will see what the day brings.
    Happy Friday! :)

    Good morning, went for our walk was nice Annie got to go swimming in the lake. My lunch yesterday was great I had salmon . I also stopped off at Walmart to see if they have the spray we need to kill the ticks well they didn't have any. Our weather day so far is nice but there is a chance of rain . No big plans just some food shopping. Take care everyone

    And humor is posted

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 64 degrees. It was comfortable to slightly cool outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. Yesterdays weather forecast showed rain overnight into this morning and later today. It appears to have been erroneous as it was drying up outside when I left the house and it did not rain on me.

    Hi Vix
    Friday was a dreary looking day, Today is looking the same and so far is nice and cool outside.
    The Electric Bill that arrived this week was the lowest I can remember seeing for many years. I know they read the meter as it is on the side of the house :smiley:
    I thought that last months was really low, this bill was even lower.

    As I can not think of any reason to keep Mosquitoes from becoming extinct either. I know of no useful ecological niche that they fill.
    I hope the new technologies as used wisely too.

    I hope the Functional Doctor visit went well.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    I agree that yesterday and today were great for walking. I'm sure Annie enjoyed the swim.

    Possibly Home Depot or Lowes ?
    hmm... Maybe this will help ?

    Hi Again
    You posted as I was replying to yesterdays post :smiley:

    Oh well, You can ignore the part of the post about tick control :wink:

    Things looked wet, then on my return home I checked the garden it does not appear to have been a heavy rain as things looked a little dry around the plants.

    Enjoy the Party

    Good morning. We had rain here overnight and still seems a little drizzly out.
    I'm doing a little cleaning today. No plans. Hopefully will go out somewhere later.
    Roger, I'm going to look at those articles on natural flea and tick control.
    I saw a squirrel in our yard....first one I've seen since we moved here. I guess the trees have grown enough for them to come around. I was enjoying the yard without them. :smirk:
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees. As it has been for the last couple of days it was comfortable to slightly cool outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. As I was walking I was hit by a few small drops of water and around the mid point of the walk it turned into a light drizzle that soon ended.

    Hi Vix
    The last few days have been dark and dreary looking here too, color me semi unhappy. Sunshine would be nice, OTOH the lower temperatures have helped save on the electric bill.

    Today while watching all I saw was the usual suspects, Rabbits and Squirrels and for a change a Bluebird.

    Natural controls for pests are a good thing. It couldn't hurt to do the test for ticks that the article gave.

    Good morning;
    We had rain overnight. Today is looking like a sunny one.
    I have been down with a cold since Thursday. I did absolutely nothing for the last couple of days, no energy. I am feeling a lot better today, just a little stuffy.
    I am making banana bread with the over ripe bananas and I plan on cleaning the oven and changing the sheets on the bed today.
    Vix-I hope you are not in pain from the infection.
    Hi Irene and Roger.
    Have a good day! :)

    Good morning.
    Jo, I'm glad you're feeling better....I was wondering where you were. Don't overdo while you're recovering. I'm ok...no pain from the infection, but my leg is acting up, hobbled again.
    It rained again overnight here. And we had a quick heavy rain yesterday afternoon. partly cloudy this morning.
    I bought some coffee yesterday and didn't realize it was whole bean...may have to go back to the store and see if I can grind it. Have an acupuncture appt this afternoon.
    So....another week begins. Wishing you all a good week. :)
