good morning
Ed, Pete got one of those scams a few weeks ago. We both checked what we had ordered, knew it wasn't ours and deleted it. That's cool that you could see the crescent shapes in the leaf shadows.
Irene, hope you are having a relaxing day.
Jo, the eclipse was supposed to be the best in New England. We had a 90% partial here, and some clouds, but we could still see it clearly. We picked Will up from preschool so he could see it too. We all went out a few times to see the different stages through the glasses. So much better than the box last time. 😎 Will also discovered ants in my orchid, so we took that outside, cleaned it all off with the hose. They must have built a nest in there, so I lost about 1/2 the roots trying to clean it, but we got it repotted with new soil.
Craft day today, going to try to get there earlier.
It's currently 49F, 9C A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 77F,25C. Summer afternoon! Winds light and variable.
Wishing all a fine Tuesday. 🌞🌸🪻👩🎨0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 14 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 24 and 19% chance of precipitation.
Hoping for a work day that's interesting, but not TOO interesting.

good morning
Yesterday was busy. After a long craft day, we watched Lilly for a little while. Wow, she ran us around! It's so funny. We did about 10 activities in an hour or so, she wants to do everything! Her new phrase is "I'm done with this" and it's off to something else. 🤣🤣🤣
I have an acupuncture appt this morning.
It's currently 60F, 16C, (totally overcast). Mostly cloudy skies for today. Slight chance of a rain shower. High around 75F, 24C. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing all a happy 🐪 day! ☁️🌂🌸🪻0 -
good morning,
doing a Costco run today after I get off of the treadmill
hope everyone has a great day0 -
Good morning;
Currently 61F and sunny. I am enjoying this warmer weather.
I have to make a stop at library. I got an email saying that they renewed a book that I had borrowed. I returned all my books
on Monday. It was really busy and I just dropped the books into the return slot. I am thinking it was returned to the shelf without being scanned as returned.
Have a good day! 0 -
good morning
Ed, I hope you had a Goldilocks interesting day. 😉
Irene, what do you usually get at Costco? I always thought of it as a store where you have to buy large quantities.
Jo, I hope the library straightens that out for you. It happens some times. I need to request some more books. Just finished The Lost Ticket, and A Quiet Life, and am reading Runaway Groomsman for something more light hearted.
It's currently 48F, 9C. Cloudy skies with periods of rain this afternoon. Thunder possible. High near 70F, 21C. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Looks like it's going to be HOT next week.
Wishing all a fine Thursday. ☁️🌂🌸🪻

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
I had a dentist appointment early in this drizzly, cool day. We have 19 cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 22 and 58% chance of precipitation.
The dentist appointment went long because she offered the option of prepping for a crown this morning, rather than making a separate appointment for that later, even though this morning was officially my tooth cleaning appointment.
So I went ahead with the crown prep and have my temporary crown in place. I need to monitor how that feels as I may need a root canal on that tooth, and we'd rather have that done before attaching the permanent crown.
So today is a short work day.

Good morning;
Currently 60F and raining heavily, rain most of the day.
Ed-I hope you don't need a root canal. I had one last year and used up my dental allowance for the year.
Vix-Library book all sorted. It got put away without being scanned back in.
Irene-I use to go to BJ's for bulk items, now that there only 2 of us, we don't use as much and don't have the space
to store large quantities.
Today is house cleaning, grocery shopping and a few other errands. The
The stray cat that I am feeding, now sits at the door and waits for its food. It is still afraid of us, but doesn't run as
far as he use too, progress.
Have a good day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday!
We have 11 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 9) with an expected windy high of 19 and 1% chance of precipitation.
I had trouble getting to sleep last night, because of soreness in my mouth from where the dentist was working yesterday, but that wasn't unexpected. It's a bit better this morning, and hopefully that will continue to improve over today and tomorrow.
I'm not sure how long I have to monitor before they decide whether to put the permanent crown on, but it will take some time for that crown to be made up and ready to apply anyway so no rush.
Then we may discuss a removable partial for where I had some teeth pulled years ago.
More dental fun ahead!

good morning
Irene, hope you're doing well.
Ed, I like when the dentist can get extra done in one visit. I'm hoping he can make some small repairs when I go for my next cleaning.
Jo, glad the library fixed it. Reminded me I need to request more books! My mother-in-law always fed stray cats. She took the last one in, I think my sister-in-law kept it. I need to run some errands today too. I want to see what kind of outdoor chair cushions they have at TJ Maxx, else might order them online. I'll check out a few other things while I'm there.
It's currently 47F, 8C. Windy. A steady light rain this morning with showers continuing this afternoon. High 61F, 16C. Winds WSW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Higher wind gusts possible.

Hi Jo and Ed.
We bought the outdoor cushions at TJ Maxx. They had some turquoise Nautica brand on sale. 😊💺
I foiled some of my stained glass pieces yesterday so they're ready for soldering on Tuesday. And I baked a spaghetti squash so I can have that for a few days.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 13 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 24 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Sounds like a lovely day to get my shopping done!
Last night I turned a pound of ground lamb into this shepherds pie. It browned up beautifully and tasted great. I have three servings left too.
But breakfast this morning was ham, eggs, and biscuits.

Good morning
The shepherds pie looks really good, Ed.
I went through some papers yesterday, always good to toss junk. I ordered some stuff online, trying to get ahead on presents.
I'm not sleeping well. Up around 5 this morning after tossing and turning all night. Need to do something different.
It's currently 61F, 16C, still dark out. Sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 77F, 25C, like summer. Winds SW at 15 to 25 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.
I'm doing some laundry and cleaning today, changing the sheets, towels etc. Will see what else the day brings.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 14 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 29 and 1% chance of precipitation.
When I got up it was 10 (Celsius) and the the heat was kicking on, but the sun seems to be warming it up quickly.
I got the groceries yesterday, and since April 13 was National Peach Cobbler Day, I cobbled up these single serve peach cobbler desserts. They turned out delicious!
I may get out for a couple of additional things at the grocery today. We'll see.

Ed, yum, peach cobbler! It was a fun-packed weekend.
Jo, Boston cream pie sounds delicious too!
Very enticing deserts!!!
Irene, hope you enjoyed the wedding shower. What a fun thing to do!
I had a busy day yesterday, did some cleaning, changed and washed all the bed clothing, daughter and family stopped by for a little while, and then we met our son and family at a small craft show at the fairgrounds.

SCAM OF THE WEEK:
Unsecured Security App
In this week’s scam, cybercriminals are spreading malware by using a fake security app. They send you a text message that says a large financial transaction has just occurred using your bank account. It instructs you to call a phone number if you have not authorized the transaction. Of course, the transaction never occurred, and the cybercriminals are trying to scare you into acting impulsively.
If you dial the number, you’ll be connected to a cybercriminal who will instruct you to download a security app. The app is disguised as an official McAfee Security product and is designed to take control of your device. If you install it, cybercriminals will use it to steal your data, and they will have complete control of your phone. Once they have control of your phone, they can install other malware and access your personal information.
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a fake app scam:
Only download apps from an official source, such as the Google Play Store or the Apple Store. Apps available on official platforms are tested for security and are far less likely to be malicious.
If you receive an unexpected text message regarding a large transaction, contact your bank directly using the information provided on their official website. Do not communicate using the information provided in the text message.
Always stop and think before taking action. Scammers use scare tactics to create a sense of urgency to get you to act without thinking.

Ed, busy, busy.
Hi Jo.
Yesterday I finished 2 glass mushroom suncatchers I've been working on. 🍄 😊 And we went to see Will practice for La Crosse, funny with 5 year olds! The park had a nice playground and Lilly ran me around there a bit. She's very adventurous. 🛝

This place sounds amazing they even have cameras that we can check on her we won't be able to stay the whole wedding but at least we can go for a little while wedding starts at 3pm and the Camp bow wow closes at 7 so we will leave early.
Hope everyone is having a great day

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 14 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 31 and 3% chance of precipitation.
We got a little rain last night, but it was nearly my bedtime. I had the rare treat of a chicken pot pie for my supper, as I actually found one at Ingle's with (per the label anyway) not TOO many carbs. It was very tasty, made with all white meat chicken. It wasn't in the regular frozen foods, but in one of the meat department bins. I don't remember what it cost, but it was better than most of the regular frozen pot pies so I'll say it was worth it, I guess. I really should make my own pot pies, and I do know how, but the ready made ones are just so convenient.
I'm sure there will be plenty to keep me busy at work today.

Irene, glad Sammie's ok. I love weddings.
Ed, when I was a kid, I loved frozen pot pies. They were a treat. Haven't had them since. Glad you found a good one.

Good afternoon,
Currently 49F and raining.
Vix-Your sun catchers are so cute.
Ed-I love chicken pot pie.
Hi Irene.
We have a family of raccoons living under our deck. I was down in the basement yesterday and heard little squeaks, so I looked
out the window and there was a raccoon looking back at me. She made a nest in the window well and had her babies there.
I am hoping when they are big enough that they will move on. Then we will fill in the hole she made to get under the deck.
Never a dull moment around here!
Have a good evening.
