    Today is a high 60's cloudy day, so I am simmering chicken for chicken stock.
    Had chicken, cucumbers and tomatoes on melted cheddar and pepper jack cheeses on Wasa multigrain crackers.

    Have a great weekend!

    Lisa: I love the idea of a farmer’s market and wish you the best, both in selling and meeting the community who shop there. Profit is a great measure for you to count your success. :smiley:

    Did my dumbbells. Yay!

    I ate very lightly today in preparation for my usual big Sunday dinner. At least I have some idea of the calorie numbers. NSV!

    Lisa- sorry about the poor showing at the farmer's market. You worked so hard, despite your illness!

    :) I didn't realize how tired I was yesterday until I went for my evening walk today and noticed how much energy I had by comparison.

    <3Lisa, so sorry the market wasn't better attended, especially after all your hard work.

    :'( We have officially declared our pathetic zucchini plants a "learning experience" and will buy better dirt next year.

    Barbara we are in a moderate drought. Hopefully tomorrow we will get some rain to help. Right now outdoor fires are banned until we get more rain.

    Flea - You paint such a wonderful picture of your 'spying'! Secret Agent Flea. <3

    Lisa - Oh phooey to the Farmers Market. :# I hope you have big freezers. Sorry your son has such a loving heart (or something like that, but you know what I mean) And no, we can't put our wise old heads on their young shoulders.

    Rebecca - Lovely photos. <3 I bet you can't wait for your summer trip down there.

    I've been reading about the heat in the South West and thinking about Rita RV. Anyone heard from her?

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    "Get to do"s and "chose well"s
    Chose well: BP, dog group
    Bonus: chopped two more tarploads, 45 mins grooming Tumble.
    Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, church, council meeting, figure out how to see what’s using all our mobile data, USE those torture bands/do that BB&B video, call S, fire district: finish and email draft minutes, drop off cookies, ongoing: input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; watch STAS Day 20, declutter sideboard, learn new dances (Nothing but You, Do Your Thing, A Little Less Broken, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick; practice dances: One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat),); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Reward: inventory seeds, plan this spring’s garden, wishlist replenishments (Milena F1 orange peppers).
    Joyful June:
    20-Rediscover and enjoy a fun childhood activity: not particularly active as a child, perhaps swimming? Maybe try water aerobics Thursday if enough progress on cleaning house in prep for K.

    Finally got Tumble out to dog group but wow, it was HOT! Weather guy said 97F. Not as bad as the rest of the nation but 20+ degrees above normal for us. After three little barks telling the new dogs that she was LA ALPHA, she settled down and did great.To spare the dogs’ pads, instead of long walk down Chetco Av we took short walk around the bank and did exercises on grass rather than asphalt To spare ourselves we quit a little early. Stopped at Pancho’s for take away lunch. Pandemic positive: Margaritas to go – just what the weather called for. Joe even ate and sipped with me for awhile. Win win win!

    Kim “recognizing” vs “implementing” boy howdy, you said it! Transplanted zukes into large pot, prepped with potting soil and fertilizer mix. Then we had a two day downpour. Will post pic tomorrow.
    Rebecca :love: Athena Rose in the strawberries!
    Lisa :heartbreak: that your son had to choose between caring for someone he loved and the job he loved. :cry:
    Welcome @Numer1ca Jennifer in the PNW! Sounds like a good plan.
    Flea good investigating! ((hugs))

    Lighter, lovelies!

    :) Both of my walking friends have cancelled on me for today. The regular dog walking friend has her daughter visiting and they're going out to breakfast early. The Sunday friend texted that she's in Texas and won't be walking so that will free up a big piece of time for working in my yard. Yippee.

    :) Welcome Jennifer and Pam We are glad to meet you. Make your first new resolution to read this thread every day and join the conversation.

    Yeah, I'm kinda there on the "phooey" part. Talked to Corey - he doesn't mind supplying the funding for the things I make, but said I need to be sure to stop when it becomes a chore. It's supposed to be enjoyable, not a hard slog.

    Helpful, too, that the freelance writing gig has geared up a bit of late. It comes in waves, like everything.

    Regarding my son... yeah, I can't go there, both for him and for his sister. My silence on these subjects is painfully necessary. They must make their own way through these stressful situations, and I have no right to weigh in on these matters, regardless of how much I want to do so. Trying to see it as opportunities for growth, both for them and for me. The more they exercise the strength they both have, the less they need my advice. Hard to keep my mouth shut, but well worth it.

    Jennifer from the PNW - welcome, we're glad you're here! Drop into any conversation where you're comfortable.

    Off to the races, my chickens! Need to make myself a scrambled egg or something, my stomach is clawing at me.

    Later,
    Love,

    Margaret: Your comment made me think about the situation here. I looked up drought information for St. Helens, OR. The information was that no one was having drought problems in Columbia County now. It is June and river levels are normal. I am not confident that this will continue indefinitely. We’ve had much less rain this year than usual in my observation. :ohwell:

    Jennifer: Where do you live in the PNW? OR or WA? :star:

    Flea: Good luck with your research. :flowerforyou:

    Heather: I haven’t seen a sign of RV Rita in months. I hope she is okay. :star:

    Barbara: I am so envious that you have your dog, Tumble. I miss Schooner every day. Our DS and DDIL have asked us to come to support them when baby number two is due to be born. They specifically asked us not to bring a dog. DDIL rescued a dog that turned out to be unsuitable for a home with young children. She found the dog a place with a woman who works with rescue dogs that have behavior issues. No dogs for them at this time. :noway: No dogs for us until after we return home from the birth of the new baby, sometime in November. :ohwell:

    Barbie: I’m sorry that your walking friends have cancelled. I hope it is a short-term situation. :flowerforyou:

    Allie: I’m happy Alfie is back with you. :heart:


    We are having a bright, bright, sunshiny day. Yesterday I pruned one of our rhododendrons that was getting too close to the siding of our home. The other one is not crowding the house but needs a little attention. I may take that one on today so that both are pruned.

    Did a Peak 10 DVD today then took a walk. Seems the skunk must have gone away. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Yoga for Weight Loss DVD.

    Barbie – yea for Jake’s report

    03CiaBella – yea!!!!

    Barbara – went out by the pool today. Last night the skunk was in the pool, then on the deck, then he crawled over to a shady spot, then as the sun set he crawled to another shady spot. When I came in, to me he looked dead, I didn’t even see his fur moving when he was breathing. Yet, this morning when I came back from my walk I looked and he wasn’t there. I guess he was just recuperating. Here’s another interesting fact (which I’m sure you care about), skunks aren’t endurance swimmers. Well, as long as he’s gone, I don’t really care

    Sunday here: did a Yoga for Weight Loss DVD then rode the recumbent bike since it’s raining out and I can’t go for my walk. Watched The Beverly Hillbillies while I was using the bike. Saw the first episode. Was pretty interesting. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise.

    Rebecca – oh, Athena is so adorable. Thanks for making my day

    Jennifer – welcome

    Going to try making ribs in the IP for Vince and now have them under the broiler. Last time I made them I removed the membrane. Boy, was that hard! So this time I kept it on and just cut it where the ribs were. We shall see how that goes. I did have to stack j

    Pam – welcome! Tell us more about yourself. You’ve come to a good place for encouragement.

    M – great pictures

    Yesterday before church went to WalMart to get some prescriptions for Vince. Also bought some of the non-refrigerated items we needed. Had dinner then went for my evening walk

    Better post this before I forget (again)
