    Good morning.
    Roger, I liked living in NJ, but I like MD too. It took me a while to get used to it. There are plusses and minuses to living anywhere. Different taxes, but also different services and conveniences.
    Have some errands and some grocery shopping to do today.
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)
    Hi Vix
    True, OTOH lower cost of living if the same things are available is not a bad thing :wink:
    Different services can be in the same state too. As an example in my town Garbage collection is provided by the town, where my brother lived he had to pay a garbage service for pickup.

    I hope the errands went well
    Roger

    GOOD MORNING, Roger there is pictures on the web I guess you can say it is a walk threw. We were suppose to have another showing last night but I don't think they showed up nothing showed on our cameras. Speaking of cameras we have new cameras in our yard one in the front and another in the back yard well we are getting visitors of the 4 paws kind so far we have seen a cat (a couple of times) well about 3:30 am we had a new company it was a deer and he eat all of my hosta George thought it was funny here is this very close up of this deer just munching on my plant maybe I should put out carrots or something now we have very tall fencing around the whole yard. Vix hope Pete is feeling better. Hey JO Yes Roger totally amazing how they are taxing everything . San Francisco use to be so nice not any more well take care everyone
    Hi Irene
    It sounds like a walk through from here.

    We had that problem last year, the dang deer love to eat landscaping. I see lots of Hostas with stems and no leaves while walking, likewise with Sunflowers. They ate the Hostas, Lillies, and the apple trees as well as other plants, Darned walking appetites. We ended up with small wire cages Around many of what the seem to like the taste of. The other thing that seemed to help was interplanting Basil plants, Side benefit is that my brother uses the basil to make Pesto. I would not put out anything like carrots that might make them think of Your yard as a tasty diner.

    We have a Large Ginger Cat that uses our driveway as a highway from the back yard to the street. This year I have also seen a mottled B&W cat in the area.

    I am so tired of the Politicians adding new taxes. We deserve them since we elected a governor that said if he was elected he would pass new taxes :(

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Good evening;
    I just finished catching up with the posts.
    Vix-I hope Pete is up and about soon. Are you getting a Cortisone injection in your spine?
    I hope it gives you relief. Thanks for asking after Sophie. She seems to be doing better. Her tail is still lumpy. The Vet said it could take a month to see some results.
    Irene-Did you have an open house or do they just show the house by appt.?
    They do have cones for cats, but I think Sophie would be miserable if she had to wear one.
    Hi Roger.
    Nothing new here, just enjoying this cooler weather.
    I found 2 cents this week.
    We put up a humming bird feeder and have had one coming every afternoon. Hubby has taken pictures and a video with his camera.
    Have a great evening. :)
    Hi Joanne
    I was enjoying the cooler weather, Today starts a stretch of humid and Thunderstorms according to the weather forecast.

    That reminds me of the days when we had a Camera for Photos and a separate one for Video :smiley:

    Congrats on Your Find.
    Good Luck with Sophie

    Good morning.
    Looks nice out, sunny for now. Forecast high of 80 with scattered t-storms. Rained relentlessly all day yesterday.
    Jo, glad Sophie is doing better, some things take time. The cooler weather is nice. Pete will probably be up and about in a few days.
    Irene, one of my friends has a motion sensitive camera in her yard and gets a lot of interesting animal photos.
    Roger, we haven't had any deer in our yard yet, but I have seen the first of the squirrels, now that the neighborhood trees are growing. I didn't miss the squirrels.
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 77 degrees and It was uncomfortable walking due to high humidity. The Rain forecast for overnight happened and there was rain that ended before I left the house. As I was leaving the store after picking up my coffee it started raining, Some very heavy interspersed with light rain.

    Hi Vix
    The temperature never dropped overnight and the humidity is high, The Forecast I saw for for the upcoming 7 days showed showers and Thunderstorms with humidity high for all of them :(

    We have a Motion sensitive Trail Cam we put out in the yard when we see signs that it will be needed to ID what is munching on the garden.

    I see Squirrels and Rabbits Daily unless it is raining.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    In different areas I think an open house works, In other areas it could lead to theft or as You say Casing the house. Hopefully The Realtor is vetting the people they take through the house.

    I am sure no watering is needed through Sunday at least.

    Congratulations on having a good walk. Stay Dry

    Good morning, well our walk was short this morning only about 35 minutes it was really warm 77 which is pretty warm at 3am . I see we are going to be seeing a lot of rain this week. My plans for today is to drop some clothes at the cleaners and then maybe threw some boxes in the basement. take care everyone

    Good morning.
    We had heavy t-storms overnight and more expected for the next 10 days. Gray today. No plans. Hubby is trying to get in to see a Dr. He is uncomfortable and concerned. So I'll stay available to drive him.
    We had an open house when we sold our house. I guess it does depend on the area you're in and whether or not you are living in the house. We were still living there, very residential, sort of bedroom community, and only a few people showed up to the open house. Ours sold the first day.
    Anyway, have a good week. :)

    Good morning.
    Took hubby to the Dr. yesterday. He is feeling a little better now.
    I'm off to stained glass and clay today. Lots of rain overnight and into this a.m. Gray and rainy, and I guess it'll stay that way for a while.
    Happy Tuesday,everyone. :)

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 75 degrees and It was uncomfortable walking due to high humidity. The Rain forecast for overnight happened and the rain had ended before I left the house. As I was approaching the store to pick up my coffee I saw a Deer heading across the street I was on and heading down the street behind the store. I could see that we already hit 100% for rain when I left the house, It is drying outside currently. OTOH if the weather today is like Monday's then we will be having bands of rain going through all afternoon.

    When I am walking I sometimes see Instant Lottery Tickets so I pick them up, Scratch off bar code and check them occasionally, In last weeks batch I found a Instant winner that someone had discarded worth $5 so You could say I found $5 :)

    Hi Irene
    I did the same thing and short cut my walk, I might have gone further if I had not had to put on the Disposable Rain Poncho. That made it worse as it blocked the breeze that had helped cool me somewhat. The overnight temperatures are not dropping this week so far, they either stay the same from 10PM on or go up :(

    Stay Dry

    Hi Vix
    So far only Rain in my part of NJ, Plenty of rain OTOH, My Brother wants to mow just not wet grass, His Choice as it is his turn.

    I Watch a show called Zombie House Flipping and they seem to hold Open Houses, Orland, Fla. And the open houses do seem to work for them. I See a house that has a patched roof, It stands out as the shingles do not match, OTOH it was inexpensive for that area and is sold. The Internet walk-through made it look really nice.

    Sometimes it just needs some reassurance that all is well to help a person feel better. It could be a form of the Placebo effect.

    Not the best looking day outside once again, Yesterday afternoon was Some Sun interspersed with rain all afternoon. About the time things would start to get dry, more rain :(

    Enjoy the Activities

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 77 degrees and It was uncomfortable walking due to high humidity as I headed out the door. Then it started drizzling after a block of walking. 1 block further on the rain became heavier and was still falling heavily as I returned home.

    Once I check my lottery tickets I will know how many millions I won in Tuesdays drawing.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 74 degrees and It was uncomfortable walking due to high humidity as I headed out the door. I could see that it rained overnight, however the streets and sidewalks were starting to dry up. I was just looking out the window and the sky looks like more rain could be on the way :(

    I did Laundry Tuesday and as soon as I get some motivation back I need to take the clean sheets and put them on the bed so I can wash the old ones. First thing is the printer table as I also use it as my desk to write checks and I have two of them to write so I can mail them tomorrow :)

    Yesterday I was rolling the Old Radio Shack Printer Table over in front of the TV I use a larger 42 inch Monitor when the Bar that the wheels are mounted to on one side came off. So now I need to take everything off of it so I can turn it upside down and reattach the wheels. It is sort of old since I bought it back when the home Printers were either Dot Matrix or For really nice looking is slow printing Daisy Wheel Printers. I did make something to block the opening where the pin feed paper came up so that the keyboard, Mouse etc. did not fall through. Call me cheap but I want to fix it rather than replace it if I can even find something that size with wheels.
