Good morning,HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
Currently 68F with a high of 76F and 50% chance of rain most of the day.
Yesterday turned out to be a nice day. There was a nice breeze, so was a little more comfortable for my walk.
Ed-I hope Buttons is ok.
Vix-I have been reading Maeve Binchy novels. The stories are based in Ireland. Next I have 3 of Patricia Cornwell books.
Irene-I hope the weather clears up soon, so you can start enjoying your pool.
Yesterday I helped hubby prune some trees in our yard. Once the branches dry out we will burn them.
Nothing on for today, will see what the day brings.
Have a good one!

good morning
Irene, we've been getting t-storms in the late afternoon/evenings with pouring rain. It's good because it's been so hot.
Jo, glad you're getting some nice weather. I've read a lot of Maeve Binchy, nice. Don't think I've read any of Patricia Cornwall. I'll have to look.
Ed, how's Buttons? Hope you have a nice relaxing day.
It's currently 72F, 22C, sunny. Partly cloudy early followed by scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. High 87F, 31C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
Our town set off fireworks last night. It's fun. We can see them from our driveway.

Happy 4th of July0

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!
We have 22 (Celsius) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 32 and 87% chance of precipitation. We've had our thunderstorm for the morning. Don't know if there will be more later, but we'll see. The forecast doesn't look bad for the rest of the day.
I have the dishwasher running, and some baked beans cooking in my small, one quart, slow cooker.
Later I'll make same barbecue sauce and heat up the shredded white meat chicken from the freezer. I may or may not make deviled eggs. There is some leftover fried rice that J may prefer for his lunch, but we can have more holiday type food later for dinner/supper. I'll have it for lunch as well, but J has a choice.
The potato salads and slaw are ready to go, only requiring that I open the little tubs and stick a spoon in for serving.
The cats let me sleep in until 8:30 this morning at which time Dinah insisted that I get up RIGHT MEOW, even though it was still an hour from their breakfast time. That gave me time to put my baked beans together and get them going, and eat a quick breakfast before feeding the starving hordes.
Buttons seems to feel OK, but isn't really eating much yet. They got good x-rays and some cells to send of for evaluation. There's a good chance it is a rare bone cancer, but we'll know more when the lab results come back and can decide how to move forward from there.

I made the barbecue, the deviled eggs, and the baked beans. The egg mustard potato salad, Southern potato salad, slaw, and buns came from Kroger.
Instead of a barbecue chicken sandwich, J had some baked tofu with barbecue sauce.
My baked beans are actually vegan but you might not notice when you eat them.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
We'll have some of the Extreme Denali Moose Tracks chocolate ice cream in a while, after dinner settles.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful (probably wet) Wednesday!
We have 23 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 30 and 77% chance of precipitation that could include thunderstorms.
At work it will feel like Monday all over again. Inconsiderate neighbors were setting off fireworks late into the evening, interrupting my sleep and disturbing the cats. If they were considerate, they would shut that down at a reasonable hour, maybe 9:00, certainly no later than 10:00. But it seems they never do. Oh well, not much I could do about that.
I'll be having leftover barbecue chicken for lunch.

oops, my post from this morning didn't show up here!
Hope all had a happy holiday.
We had a quiet day yesterday. I sorted through my craft things to pull out what I need for stained glass because I'll be going back to the group again.
I need to do a little cleaning today, and may go out to get some yarn to start knitting a baby blanket.

It is a hot one, currently 89F with a high of 91F.
Irene and Ed-i hope your blood tests turn out ok.
Hi Vix-blanket for the new baby?
I went to town hall to pay our real estate tax this morning. I plan to spend the rest of the day in the AC.
It is just too hot to do anything outside.
Stay cool. 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's Fantastic Friday!
We have 24 (Celsius) fair (mostly sunny) degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 31 and 38% chance of precipitation that could include thundershowers. We got some yesterday afternoon, somewhat to my surprise, but it was a relatively short session.
Plenty waiting in my office today.

good morning
We've been getting afternoon t-storms, Ed. Yesterday's had a lot of nearby lightning.
Hi Irene.
Jo, yes. I'm going to make a blanket for the new baby. It's very hot here too. I didn't get out to JoAnn yesterday. I'll see if I feel like driving out there today, else there's a Michael's that is closer.
It's currently 79F, 26C, sunny and a little hazy. Mixed clouds and sun this morning. Scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon. High 88F,31C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 50%.

good morning,
I have been spending a lot of time in the pool. I did help my husband by mowing the yawn yesterday . He was busy power washing the house.
Hope everyone has a great day0 -
Good morning;
It is currently 70F with a high of 88F. Cloudy this morning, turning sunny in the afternoon.
We are going to the farmer's market this morning.
Have a relaxing weekend.

good morning
Irene, looks like it's going to be a great week for spending time in a pool.
Jo, enjoy the farmer's market.
Ed, enjoy your days off.
I picked up yarn for the baby blanket yesterday. Not exactly the color I was looking for, but it was hard to find the right size yarn, and the color is close to what I wanted. I think it will be fine.
No special plans for today, will see what the day brings.
It's currently 75F, 24C. Clouds and some sun this morning with more clouds for this afternoon. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High near 90F,32C. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Winds light and variable.
Wishing all a happy Saturday. 🌻

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 28 (Celsius) fair (mostly sunny) degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 32 and 24% chance of precipitation.
It started raining last night just as we got out of the car and entered the ramen restaurant we had gone to for dinner. And it stopped and the sun came out just as we were ready to leave. Wasn't that wonderfully convenient?
Blood work looked mostly good, with a bit of concern about thyroid levels, but I'm sure the doctor will discuss that with me next week. I may just need to take an iodine supplement.
I need to get a few groceries and probably wash the towels today. All the other laundry is washed, dried, folded and put away as of yesterday, with the usual help from Dinah who mostly supervises but sometimes has to sit on freshly folded tee shirts, to press them I'm sure.

good morning
Ed, glad your bloodwork was mostly good. Ramen restaurant sounds interesting. I guess it's similar to a pho restaurant.
No special plans for today.
It's currently 72F, 22C. Cloudy early, then thunderstorms developing this afternoon. A few storms may be severe. High 79F, 26C, a bit of a break from the heat today. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 100%.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 25 (Celsius) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 31 and 15% chance of precipitation. We had another short rain shower last night. I think we may have had one every day last week.
Nothing critical on the agenda for today, but I MAY slip out to Lidl for some non-essential grocery items.
And I still haven't done those towels yet.

Good evening;
It was mostly cloudy and humid today. I went to another farmers market, while hubby put up new blinds at our daughter's house. I spent the rest of the day reading.
Irene-Nice that you are finally getting to enjoy the pool.
Vix-sounds like it is a good day to start making the baby blanket.
I am looking out the slider watching Sophie stalk a bunny.
Have a good evening.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have 21 (Celsius) rainy degrees with an expected overcast high of 29 and 100% chance of precipitation.
The container garden should be happy.
We'll see what work brings today. My back is not terribly happy this morning. I will apply an ice pack in a while when I am settled in place.

good morning
Ed, hope your back feels better.
Jo, I had to return something I bought, then went to TJMaxx to look around. It would have been a good day to start the blanket, but like you, I spent a good part of the day reading. Farmer's markets are fun.
Irene, I guess you're staying cool in the pool.
I have a webinar I can do at noon today, nothing else on the calendar.
It's currently 72F, 22C. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 87F, 31C. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

Good afternoon;

Today is a good day to stay in. I made chocolate mousse for hubby, cleaned the upstairs bathroom, dusted, vacuumed and of course did a little reading and prepped salads for the week and veggies for dinner.
Stay dry!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

Turkey bacon and 1% cottage cheese with blueberries for breakfast.

Jo, you always do so much!
Irene, we're getting a couple of days off from the rain.

Off to work on stained glass and clay today. Need to pack up something for lunch. Busy day.

Good afternoon;
Currently 80F with a high of 86F. There is a nice breeze.
I walked 2.5 miles this morning, did 30 min. on the elliptical and finished my book, transplanted 2 plants and weeded my flower beds.
I am going to the library in a little while.
Vix-have fun at clay and stained glass class.
Hi Ed and Irene.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 21 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 33 and 2% chance of precipitation.
My back was really painful yesterday. So far today, it's a bit better. Still painful, but I am being very careful how I move. Naproxen may be helping, and I have continued the periodic ice packs. If I don't see much more improvement, I'll make an appointment with a doctor.
I did manage to get the garbage and recycle bins to the curb last night, so they should be emptied today.
We'll see what the work day brings.

good morning
Jo, good for you with all the exercise! WTG! I started the blanket last night. I have to be a little careful with the pattern once I get a few more rows in because I will have to count stitches.
Ed, I was stiff and achy after working on crafts all day. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Hi Irene.
When I got home I relaxed for a while, then I exercised thinking that might help with the achiness. Ended up taking an anti-inflamatory, and still a bit achy today.
I have acupuncture this a.m. and my follow-up with the cardiologist this afternoon. Busy day.
It's currently 77F, 25C. Partly cloudy. Hot. High 93F, 34C. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing all a happy 🐫 day! Stay cool. ❄️
