    good morning
    Hope the dentist appt went well, Jo. Nice that you can walk there.
    Hi Ed and Irene.
    Hubby planted some ferns that a friend gave us. There were so many, I put some in a pot and gave some to another friend.
    Will see what today brings.
    It's currently 48F, 9C. Abundant sunshine. High 83F, 28C. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a happy Thursday.

    Good morning;
    I ended up having to have a root canal, so I spent most of the day at the dentist. I go back in 2 weeks to have a new cap put on.
    Sunny and 44F with a high of 64F.
    Today I have to run a few errands and then I will putter around the yard for a while.
    Vix-How nice of your friend to give you some ferns.
    Hi Irene and Ed.
    Have a great day! :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!

    We have 15 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 27 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    They made some code changes late in the day yesterday, so will have fun with that today.

    good morning
    Oh my, Jo, glad you got your tooth taken care of, but that was quite a bit! I hope you're feeling ok. Hugs.
    My friend and I share plants and seeds. It's become a thing we do, I love it. She does tend to give in abundance, and I'm glad I could share with another friend.
    Ed, sounds like you'll be busy with testing.
    Hi Irene.
    It's going to be a hot one here today. It's currently 62F, 17C and I have my window open for now. A mix of clouds and sun expected. High 88F,31C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
    It's been an odd week for me. I keep losing track of what day it is!
    Wishing all an easy Friday, and a fun weekend ahead.

    Good afternoon;
    Currently 59F with a high of 63F and sunny.
    I went grocery shopping this morning and got gas for my car. I just made a small batch of raspberry jam. I also made beeswax wraps.
    They can be used to cover bowls and wrap items that you would usually use plastic wrap for. They are reusable. I am trying to cut down on using one time use plastics.
    I just got the new JD Robb book, Encore in Death. I am going to sit out on the deck and read for awhile.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    good morning
    Jo, I've never heard of beeswax wraps. I'll have to look that up. Always good to cut down on waste and use of plastic. I've lost track of the JD Robb books, haven't kept up. I read a lot of them!
    Yesterday I went for a walk, exercised, did some laundry, balanced the checkbook for 2 months (somehow missed doing it last month), and checked and paid the credit card bill. Sat on the porch for a little while, but it got too hot.
    It's cooled down a bit today and for the rest of the week. It's currently 62F, 17C. Cloudy this morning with thunderstorms developing this afternoon. High 72F, 22C. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.
    I'd like to spend some time outdoors today and I have a little bit of cleaning to do.
    Wishing all a pleasant Saturday, and a fun weekend.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

    I might get out to the grocery today, after breakfast.

    good morning
    Ed, I remember the first Earth Day. We called it Whole Earth Day, and had a big gathering on campus, lots of talk and good intentions of saving the environment, and peace. If only.
    It's currently 46F, 8C. Mainly sunny to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 62F, 17C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. We had a t-storm yesterday afternoon, pretty good downpour. I made a big pot of butternut squash soup.
    I've been flaring lately, so will probably take it easy today.
    Wishing all a peaceful Sunday.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous, sunny Sunday!

    We have 14 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected high of 21 under mostly sunny skies and 1% chance of precipitation.

    Sorry to hear you are having flare ups, Vix.

    I never did get to Kroger yesterday, but we dropped J's car off for new tires, went to Del Taco for lunch, came home and J got some yard work done. I stopped at Walgreen's as I went past, at one point, to get a couple of things, and, later, we went to supper at a great Indian restaurant that is quite a drive away. It's about 25 to 30 minutes to get there. On the way home from that we stopped at Ingles and got some frozen foods that they carry, but I haven't seen at Kroger.

    There just wasn't really a good window for a Kroger trip and by the time the day was over, I was really tired from all the running around. It was probably good for me.

    Today I'll try to get to Kroger. LOL.

    Good morning;
    It is currently 54F and raining. It is supposed to rain all day.
    Vix-sorry to hear you are having a flare up. Do you think it is caused by doing too much or something you are eating?
    Ed-sounds like you had a busy day yesterday.
    Hi Irene.
    We went and picked Tulips yesterday. They raised the prices. I think it would have been cheaper to just buy some from the store.
    I usually only drink one coffee a day and yesterday I had a cold brew iced latte. I was jittery all afternoon. I guess I am just a one cup a day gal. ;)
    Today is laundry and I am going to cook a roast beef with carrots and parsnips.
    Have a relaxing Sunday! :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!

    We have 9 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees (feels like 7) with an expected partly cloudy high of 20 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    Might be an interesting day at work. Eggs, sausage links, and southern style biscuits for breakfast.

    SCAM OF THE WEEK:

    AI Phishbait

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular in the past year. Many people have started using AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Bard. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are taking advantage of AI’s popularity to steal your information.

    In a recent scam, cybercriminals created fake Facebook ads for free downloads of AI products. If you click one of these ads, you’ll be prompted to download a fake file. Once you download the file, malware will be activated on your device. Cybercriminals can use this malware to steal sensitive information, such as your credit card numbers and passwords.

    Follow the tips below to stay safe from similar scams:
    • Cybercriminals can buy ads anywhere. So, always think before you click.
    • Only download files from trusted sources, such as the official Google or AI website. Watch out for ads that prompt you to click links instead of visiting official websites.
    • Before you click an ad, hover your mouse over it to view the related link. Make sure that the link leads to a legitimate, safe website that corresponds with the content in the ad.

    good morning
    Ed, I hope you have an interesting day at work.
    I've been getting a lot of emails/scams to click and fill out a survey, and getting $90. Of course I report them all as spam, but I'm sure the bots are just churning them out with different addresses and company names.
    Jo, how nice to pick tulips! Ours are starting to bloom, we have a lot of different varieties so they bloom at different times.
    I'm not sure what is causing my flares, but my diet has been off. I'm having a hard time getting that under control. Also I know stress about even small things is not my friend. Every day I say it's a new day, and I try to get my diet back on track. Sometimes I think trying to stick to my diet causes stress, which is a vicious cycle.
    Hi Irene, hope all is well.
    It's currently 47F, 8C. We have a freeze watch for tonight. Partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. High 58F, 14C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a bright shiny new week.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    We have 6 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees (feels like 4) with an expected partly cloudy high of 20 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    Another day, another dollar!

    It's currently 35F, 2C. Kind of cloudy at the moment, but supposed to be mostly sunny. High 61F, 16C. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
    I'm off to clay crafters this afternoon.

    good morning
    It's currently 42F, 6C, and despite the forecast, I see no sun. "Some sun this morning with increasing clouds this afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 67F,19C. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph."
    I glazed a couple of miniature furniture planters yesterday, and set the kiln up for a glaze fire. I think I'm going to make a large flower pot next to use up some of the old recycled clay.
    I'll probably go to the library later, and take care of some paperwork, and other puttering around the house.
    Wishing all a happy 🐫 day.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    We have 12 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected high of 16 under cloudy skies and 82% chance of precipitation.

    Feels like winter is trying to make a tepid comeback, but not too succesfully.

    The dishwasher is running. I have a bit of data analysis to do this morning, as I started a test data sync at the end of the day yesterday. Assuming it finished, I get to compare the data on both sides to determine whether the sync was fully successful or had issues.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

    We have 12 (Celsius) degrees with fog. The expected overcast high is 17 with 86% chance of precipitation. I can feel that 86% chance in my bones!

    More data analysis this morning. Got some done yesterday but the data sync had problems at first, so I didn't get started on the analysis until late in the day. The programmers were having issues too. We're trying it with different database engines to see how well it works with different ones.

    It rained a bit yesterday, there was a rainbow for a few minutes in the afternoon. I didn't get to the library, so will do that today.
    Good luck with your analysis and the fixes, Ed.
    Irene, hope it clears up later for your walk.
    Jo, hope all is well, and you're enjoying your free time.
    It's currently 55F,13C. A mix of clouds and sun (mostly cloudy) during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 69F,21C. Winds light and variable.
    Wishing all a pleasant Thursday.

    Good afternoon;
    I just realized that I haven't been on in a few days.
    Today was sunny but a little cool. I repotted some plants and put some mulch down in one of my flower beds. I also power washed the front stairs.
    I read in my green and clean book that if I put my oven racks out in the grass overnight that the next morning I should be able to just wipe them clean with little or no scrubbing. I will let you know how it works.
    I went to the library on Thursday. I hadn't been since my kids were little. I was no longer in the system, so had to get a new card.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Ed, glad you've made good progress on your project. Yay!
    Jo, let us know if the oven rack trick works. I left them in my oven last time when I set the oven to clean, and that worked pretty well. Congrats on getting an updated library card. I usually go about once a week. Saves me from filling my house with books!
    Irene, hope all is well.
    Well, they got the forecast right this morning. "Periods of rain. High near 55F, 13C. Winds E at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall possibly over one inch. Locally heavy rainfall possible." It's pouring out there, and pretty windy. It's currently 50F, 10C.
    I have a massage scheduled for this morning and my housecleaner is coming today. Two, really great things!
    Wishing all an easy Friday and a great weekend ahead.
