It is to be warm but not too bad. We will see. Our weather man is a flirt! He winks and offers nice warm late summer day……… John is going to Costco for a few supplies. I am trying to clean a few cobwebs from the window screens, if you could see that production you would keel over in laughter. I am not exactly steady on my…

Wooooooo a hot one today! So here we go again. Katie is already feeling it. She came to me for her morning “love” and after I patted and scratched her ears and neck, she collapsed in a heap on her tuffet. It is in line with a fan promoting air movement inside. Tonight will be shrimp salad. Fruit plate for dessert, melon,…

Helloooooooo! I seem to be having the oddest problem with mfp. Or my iPad has a case of the flu! Or something. I try getting into mfp and I get a blank white screen with the work community at the top and that’s all. Right now I am here. Wonder what the problem is? Hot muggy week ahead. But I have ice for iced coffee and…

Today is a off and on kind of day. Awoke to bright warm sun and it is now totally overcast. Suspect that will change soon. Change…there it is again. Yesterday was a nice day and just the prescription that you all have talked about. Our daughter came over to see us. She sent a photo of her rapid Covid test that she took…

Hello there! Cloudy but I don’t smell rain or moisture in the air. It feels muggy. I wouldn't call this Indian summer by any means. I am convinced that certain people are born with that rhyming ability and it seems to come naturally to them. I think Anne is such a person. She can rhyme anything at any time! It certainly…

Good afternoon little girls! Overcast today and cooler. Katie and I are hanging out drinking coffee and contemplating what our next task should be. Laundry is loaded and on the go, Katie’s chicken is poaching on low heat, dishes are nearly through their dry cycle, brown rice is ready for tonight’s menu of fish taco bowl.…

Happy Monday dear sneakers! We have sun and a slightly too warm day. Tolerable but wishing for a cool breeze. Wash is on the go, I have done a small straighten up effort in the dungeon. More needs to be done. But the danger is that being around my creative engine…(art junk and computer, writing paper etc) starts my juices…

Hi there! High thin clouds today and it has provided a cooler day thus far. Whew! I am really glad to hear that dear Lin is safe and things are undamaged for the most part at her house. Storms show no mercy. They rain down and damage nice people along with not so nice. We are looking at another whole week of near or at 90…

Another very warm day ahead! In truth, my dear sneakers, I really do not know how to deal with this heat anymore. To think! I was raised on a Texas cattle ranch and we didn’t have a/c for years. We had fans and umbrella on the tractor and in the barns. I remember we liked to sleep on a screened back porch. That was it!…

Sorry Sandy, I hope I didn’t sound nosey or intrusive. I apologize. I know you are very busy. Patsy☘️

Hello dears! MFP seems quirky on my iPad today. Not sure why because other sites are working fine. Hot! Hot! Hot! 106 on deck. Katie has stopped eating. She wants ice. Don’t we all? Ice cube in her water dish and she fished that out and ate it! I make iced coffee. Cheerios and a banana for brunch. Dinner will be salmon…

Another very warm day here. Nothing like our super hot scorcher earlier. But it is still dry and we are holding our breath on the wildfire watch. We are under an extreme fire danger notice. The crazy thing is that we are at least 20 degrees cooler than the rest of Oregon. So of course everyone wants to come here to the…

In casual discussion about you all to John and Damon, I was alarmed at the global warming. Damon said that a photovoltaic panel work for Jackie. On the sail boat they often used one when they sailed in the tropics. It will power a fan during the dayIight easily. people who live and travel in a RV use them constantly for…

Hello dear ones! The weather has been crazy worldwide. It is to be that way now, I guess. We are sunny and warm. Tolerable. In the low 80s. Still humid and slightly uncomfortable. I have a chicken enchiladas for dinner. Sliced nectarines for dessert. Spicy dinner but not too bad. I spent what seems like hours ordering…

Me again…it was Mark Twain who said that about comedy. (Humor) Patsy☘️

Cloudy day and a bit cooler. Thank you, God! We seem to need a few things from Costco, so that will require a quick shopping trip. Not my favorite thing to do on a Saturday but I confess to being annoyed when low on essential things like laundry detergent etc. We are continuing to enjoy House of Cards series. I am again…

We were to have a nice mild day but something happened! It is 96 degrees on the deck and 77 inside. Not exactly comfortable. But tolerable. I have a lot of silly little tasks today. I will not through all,of them but I will give it a try. Laundry, gather trash for Friday trash pickup, clean out fridge, continue a bit more…

Oooooops….I signed off too soon.. Lin: I have read about these huge killer wasps that are showing up here. They are about three to four size larger than normal wasps and they kill bees etc. I wonder if you have a hive of them close by? We are to call the extension agent if we see one around here. Very concerning about some…

Okay! Enough of this muggy warm weather! Come on rain and cool weather. I know some of you love the sunny warm weather and I do too…but only if the temp isn’t too high and there is a gentle sea breeze. Camelot! It is cloudy right now and I suspect a marine layer that will burn off soon. Sandy: my dad was a pretty good…

Cloudy! A tiny bit muggy but not bad really. We might get a little rain….maybe! Hold on! Here is really upsetting news!!!!! I must give up coffee for a few days. My tummy is upset and I could be developing an ulcer. A condition that is not new to me. As you know I am a worry wart. 😫And I really have to watch out for acidic…

Oh dear blessed cool breezes and cooler temps! From over 100 to 64 degrees in less than 24 hours. Seems impossible but indeed, it happened! We don’t fare very well in heat. Neither John nor I are meant to be desert people. I had one of my very bad sleepless nights. Not sure why but I suspect the heat. Although the bedroom…

106 on the deck and 89 inside the living room. Ugly scene! Pray for rain and help for all creatures enduring this discomfort. Patsy☘️

Hello! It is a hot miserably humid day. Things are to get cooler tomorrow but promises are often broken as we all know! I loved the video of all the scary little creatures in the garden. I may never feel comfortable with them but appreciate that they have a place on the planet. Thanks Anne, Lin and Jackie. We need people…

Hello! I am back…maybe…..for some reason I keep having problems with MFP app etc. only on MFP. So wonder what the problem is. Sun spots? Hot weekend. The kind that sucks up all energy and causes distress. Jackie: you are my hero. I often think of you and Anne when tempted to squish a bug or kill a spider. You both have…

I guess I am back! And my post finally came back to life. I emailed everyone that I knew their addresses. Couldn’t bare to lose contact with you. Just so you know, I was a bit worried. Patsy☘️

Hello sweet ladies! Today is susposed quite mild with a nice breeze. So far so good! The coming weekend will be brutal. In the Portland area it is to be well over 100-102 is predicted! Good grief! I will be a puddle on the floor when this is over. John mowed and weed whacked for most of the day on Wednesday. Now he suited…

A hazy day today. The smoke from the Oregon-California wildfires is coming right up the coastline. We have a weird golden hue to the light and it is very hazy. It blocks the heat from the sun. However it plays havoc with my allergies and asthma. Today I will be going about rather slowly. I might have to pop an allergy…

Sunny and muggy uncomfortable! Which means a chicken salad for dinner and a lazy day…I should try to be more productive. I do better in the evening when I should be getting ready for bed. It is cooler and I chug around in my nightie doing little chores. I know! Scandalous! Last night I was in our bedroom with furniture…

Hello dear sneakers! You remember that “It is an ill wind that blows no good…..” I of course can’t quote or remember exactly but the truth is in that. We have a weird golden haze and the weather is quite mild. That is because the smoke from the Oregon-California wildfires is blocking the intense sun. The mild weather is…

Hello dear sneakers! It is blessedly cool at this moment. However our sheltering marine layer will be gone very soon. Then we are in for a hot afternoon and early evening. The worst of the dry scary wildfire season is happening. A huge wildfire just exploded on the border of Oregon and California. 0% contained! And it grew…
