finally checking in here again.

Spathy, LOL yes, it is in the genes honey.. !LOL


Cat5, thanks for stopping in.. yes, this storm sort of picked and choose where it wanted to dump rain.


Janet, good to see you again. WOW that is a lot of rain, we did not get nearly that much down here... and I understand you needed it.. just not all at once! Hope no serious side affects happen with all this weather. Thanks!

NEw, I hear ya, we have been instructed NOT to let our guard down just yet... still a lot of heat in the tropics that must escape out. LOL



Less than 30 more mins at work, been sort of busy today... probably tomorrow also.

Thanks to all who stop by.

And to Sandi, who is probably already in bed tonight and will come here to wish us all

White Rabbits, White Rabbits, White Rabbits..

I want to get it here first!!!

happy First Day of October!!!

YIKES I cannot believe tomorrow will be October.. where has this year gone.

Karen, that is wonderful. I am hoping to get some new tomato plants in the ground soon, our night temps are just now starting to get below 80 degrees so pretty soon we can plant. I have 2 that I cut down and they are coming back so I will let them go and see what they do.

I cannot wait for home grown tomatoes again!

Jeff, Hope your foot is doing well this morning after your run last night.. just take it one mile at a time and take it easy and before you know it you will be running the 5K marathons once again. I am looking forward to doing more running again soon...

October 1st, WOW, h ow did this happen.

And this morning temps in 70's!!!! and our highs only in mid 80's... that is "fall" for us... we will take it.


AT work and waiting for a meeting with my team in a few minutes... I brought them in pasteries and coffee this morning since I will be out tomorrow.

So today is actually a "Friday" for me too!
Gamma is needed to watch Rylee and Nolan tomorrow, the other grandparents are out of town and Chris could only get off today and Ellen cannot get off at all so what is a Gamma to do?


I will check back in later.. Happy Friday to you!

Hi everyone,

can you belive our "high" for today barely reached 85 and the humidity is so low.

Bills, yes this is a beautiful day, should have been home doing yard work instead of cooped up in my cold work building.! YES today is really my Friday!!!


Pros, thank you so much; well our leaves do not "turn" in the fall... actually my winter garden is more beautiful than the summer garden.. that is what I want to be still and watch.


Foxx, I hear you.. where did summer go.. we had such a cold winter, seems like summer got here and then left just as quickly... oh yes, bummer for all you in the GOM, that was not a good summer to remember at all... I pray that oil is going away for good and not causing too much after affect.

Bays, good for you!!! it is almost "fall" here today. Glad you are enjoying your beautiful Fall Day!!!


I see the drought map did not change too much from yesterday. Guess not much rain in Florida so not much more green today than day before.


Go to wrap up my day... 3 1/2 more hours to go!

Skye,
good to see you stop by.
Yes this morning and all day today has been
PERFECT!
of course, we could not survive if we had "PERFECT" days like this all the time..
we would never get any rainfall.

but so beautiful outside all day not a cloud in the sky...
temps are just right

I want to go home and plant tomatoes!

Oh my I've had visitors.
Scott, I saw you over on Brooke's blog.
Glad you arrived safely in Germany. Good luck on the new job.. enjoy your weekend getting settled.

Has the family moved over yet?


Cropper, I hear you, the best time of the year!


EWM, So happy to hear from you again.. I understand busy!!! Glad you stopped by and hope things settle down a little soon.
We have been so lucky this year and last year with the storms, hope our luck holds!


Sandi, glad you made it.. Oh my your sister is going to know what "tired" is by the end of the weekend! I know last week I had the kids more than normal and I was ready to get back to work yesterday to rest! LOL

Ogal, I have never heard of those wasps.. will keep an eye open for them. This weather is great... so you are going to "lighten up" your back garden some? I know, yard work keeps getting harder and harder every year, but I keep wanting more and more land! LOL


Hope all are enjoying their Friday!!!

Blu, I am so sorry to hear that. I know you are a hard working American and this is just so not good.. I wish "Corporate America" were hiring again...but they will not until they have a clue about their future in the USA.
keep me updated.



Scott, so good to hear from you, glad the kids and wife traveled with you. Keep us informated and post when you get a chance.


Brett, I agree, you and I have met Blu before and Blu, you are such a wonderful person hope something good comes soon.....



OK I am really going to bed now... I know I got involved in a few "political" blogs which I should not have done but I did..


so I must now get my "beauty rest" because I have a 5 year old and a 9 mos old that is almost walking, who will run me ragged tommorrow!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Good morning everyone,

It is Saturday and I am not at work!
Have Rylee and Nolan here to keep me busy.


It is going to be another beautiful day; hope to get a little yard work done if the kids cooperate!

Enjoy your Saturday!

back for a minute.. trying to get Nolan down for his morning nap, he is so sleepy he cannot hold his eyes open while we rock but the minute I put him in the crib he stands up and gets mad! LOL

While we are having nice cool evenings, lows around 72 which is good for us.. but we are getting back up near 90 in the afternoon. but it "feels" so much nicer.. I think today is going to be much hotter than yesterday.


Foxx, I hear you, I should be doing things around the house this morning instead of here typing! LOL have fun..
I really want to get some of my "home made compost" into my garden bed to get it ready for planting.

Aubie, Oh My Goodness, I cannot believe there are towns that do not allow you to entertain in your own home. I have had over 100 people in my home/yard for parties many times over the past 24 years... with DJ's and a lot of noise...the DJ must be turned off by 11:30pm because the police always show up around 11pm to "warn us" LOL
But our houses are very crowded and close together... and cars are parked all around the block! I think that is terrible that there are actually laws that do not allow more than 20 in your home at a time.... I could never do the family holiday meals! I had 45 for Thanksgiving one year...
thanks for the articile very interesting.



Bug, yesterday was my "Friday" I am off work today watching the kids. I made the Pot Roast last Sunday, it was great and we had left overs the next day... Good luck on cooking yours this weekend, nothing better!


AllyB, good to see you out on the blogs this morning! Yes, we love our Grands but watching them all day is exhausting... and two are a lot more work than just one! LOL It will be fun...right now Rylee is across the street playing with her best friends, Kyle and Katie so that helps while trying to get Nolan down.


Thanks to all of you for stopping by!

Bay, that is cold!! Sounds like a fun football day at your house!!!


Bug, you are right, I do work Thur, Fri and SAt but I had to take today off to help out with the kids, the other grandparents usually have them Fri and Sat and they had to go out of town...


Ogal, got Nolan down for about an hour in he morning and about 1 hour in the afternoon.



And boy am I tired... dog tired.. pooped tired..

Ellen left while ago with the kids...I did get some heavy lifting yard work done.. my "raised bed" I got filled back up with the compost from my compost bin..but the "ripe" compost is at the bottom so Had to take off the last few months of compost (and some of it is iky like the rotten veggies).. to get to the bottom..
but I got it done.. one shovel full at a time transfer from compost bin to raised bed... nice rich dark garden compost...
it still had some un decomposed pieces of wood and leaves, but over all was in good shape.. they can finish off in the ground...
and talk about earth worms...
for some reason my compost bin does not get hot so I had so many really big earth worms on the bottom..and I collected them all and put them in my garden bed..

and of course, Rylee loves to play with them. she was picking them up and letting them crawl on her arm and hand!

We had Nolan safely in his walker out side with us and of course he could not really get around in the walker in the soggy grass..
We cannot let him on the ground right now he is at that age everything goes into his mouth...
next year he will probably be playing with the earth worms also.

but after all that bending and shoveling and pulling and chopping...I just got out of the shower and I am going to bed to rest! LOL

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed your Saturday!
