Still smiling from a wonderful day, I had, yesterday, and still celebrating.

Friend brought me 3 lovely wedding cake cupcakes. All gone.

Tomorrow, going for spinach salad with another friend.

That's my day.

And thanks to all the wonderful KT'ers best wishes on my 72nd.

Hope everyone has had a good one, today.

Another scorcher here today. The heat index was 115--same as yesterday. The actual temperature was 95.

We had to go into town so Harry could have more blood taken. We just went yesterday, but they didn't test for everything the P.A. had ask for so we had to go back. Stopped just outside our complex at a little coffee shop and got corned beef sandwiches and potato salad to bring home.

The tropical storm I was hoping would give us a good drenching is going to miss Florida so I guess we'll just keep having this weather. Best to just stay inside and chill!

Glad your birthday was so much fun!

OOPS...got behind on this thread. Peggy, I am still working on my spreadsheets and making labels in preparation to then plant, plant, plant without having to stop and make more labels. I have targeted Thanksgiving for having all bulbs, or nearly all the important bulbs planted. I'm not as concerned about the few NO ID daffs I have and the 250 or so specie tulips and muscari. I can sneak them in easily anywhere anytime before a good ground freeze. You wear me out with everything you have going so many evenings? Has all of the exercising given you more energy? Linda, Congratulations on your very first grand baby. I'm sure he caused a lot of excitement for everyone and hope he is doing great. Sorry to hear of your Mom's fall, but glad it was nothing serious. Possibly it served as a good warning to try and be very careful. She sure seems to be doing well for her age and please tell her I am looking forward to her making it to the next swap...hear? Doris, I'm sure the daffs your boss got will not to too pink. I'm going to guess that they were likely ordered from Breck's. If so, their pics are touched up and are not a good depiction of their true colors. Here is Breck's Pink Collection (not!) Here are some pics that better show their true colors Chromacolor at Daffseek Romance at Daffseek Pink Charm at Daffseek In attending some local Daffodil Shows, I did see many daffs that had a very pretty pink color to them...a true soft pink, nothing peachy about it. Another thing too, is that a daffs color changes as the bloom matures. A bloom that emerges as a yellowy peach can turn its true color of being more pink as it matures. The pic below is Salome on the left and Mrs. R. O. Backhouse on the right. The pic below was taken one day later (and some blooms were added), but you can seed how they have 'pinked up' a good bit. Neither are ones I would call one of the truer pinks though compared to what I have seen at shows. Peggy, your garden club lunch and then work sounds like a lot of fun. I hope it does well and you get us some pics next year. Sue...off to hopefully finish up pretty well on labels today.

I just love it when the veggies start to produce and I can go outside and pick dinner right in my own garden and eat it just a short while later. I do love stir fry and last year had delicious stir fried beans mostly from my yard long beans. Will have those again this year, I already have the seeds but its too early to start them as yet. Last year I didn't have peppers this year I do. And Zucchini can go in those stir fries too. A nice pepper, bean and sliced zucchini stir fry. Yumm, Yumm. And eggplant can be micowaved and is easy to cook. Some red sauce and maybe a sprinkle of cheeze and dinner is served. Then there is my famous (famous in my own mind) tomato and cucumber salad. Plus fresh tomatoes eaten every way you can think of. I love love tomato sandwiches and never seem to get tired of them. Maybe I will start my cucumbers this weekend. I have lots of seeds and always start some of my own to go with those burpless cucumber seedlongs that I bought.

Thanks for your compliments Luvs & Jane! DSiL was very happy that we had a little gathering in her honour especially in our "weakened" conditions. It is funny now that I have the dish-ease, I never even think to use paper plates even for a BBQ. It is too much fun to pick out real dishes for such an occasion...better for the environment too! DD

What Have You Been Doing Today?

Today hasn't been a very productive day for me. I dropped the dog off the groomers, come home to wash her blankets and mop the kitchen floor. I wanted to get a shower then get a manicure and pedicure afterwards BUT the groomer called and I had to go get the dog. Her left ear is really infected and she needed to go to the vet. Call vet, went and got her off to the vet. Vet had to shave her ear inside, flush with meds and dig finally after all that she is home with meds and needing to go back in 2 weeks. Then off to see DS, left him then I am thinking I will go home get a shower and I will go for the manicure. NO, I decided while I was in the shower that since I am going to put pj's on WHY bother to get dressed and leave the comfort of my home. SO, after all that I was feeling somewhat sore and decided to watch tv in bed, after my nap, I fed the dog, made a double batch of brownies, packed DH's lunch for tomorrow (since he is at a meeting til about 8 tonight), made myself a lettuce, tomato and cheese sandwich with mayo and waiting for brownies to cool off, I gotta taste them before anyone else!!! Now, I am back in bed, still having pain. Tomorrow hopefully I will get the manicure and pedicure :-) Deb

My sister and I go to a town over 45 minutes away the first of every month to get our 'bulk' of groceries for the month. This is the first I've done it since I had my knee surgery. I am exhausted, but I made it.

Breakfast for:

-self

-cat(s) and

-female canine that I'm "dogsitting" for a friend.

Rather troubled about the two remaining (of four) last-year's litter. I ran over one last year and found another (the runt) lying dead a couple of months ago, down in tthe yard by the barn.

It took a long time to get close to one of the two remaining, which then decided that it loves/loved to be petted - but only around the place where I feed them. At other times, I can get within a few feet of him, but not touch him. The other one won't get close to me, except that sometimes I can pet it a bit while it's eating.

Both haven't been around for several days, I think that they disappeared at the same time, and I fear that they've met up with misfortune.

Just one older cat left - the mother of the young ones disappeared a few months ago.

Pulled weeds in the garden, began assembling materials to stake tomatoes.

Came here to bug you folks.

And check stocks - big drop in the markets today, both sides of the border ... so I'm "worth-less" today than yesterday ... or last week. Whatever that means.

On return, after it cools down some, will be doing some more in the garden and getting supper for the canine and me.

Need to defrost freezer ... but doubt that I'll do it tonight: need to assemble some boxes to hold the stuff temporarily, first.

I had my yearly check-up today. Blood pressure is great, cholesterol is great, weight is great, EKG was great, weight was great. Doctor was very pleased and I was, too. Then I ran some errands. Stocked up on birthday cards. Seems like half the world was born in August including me! Glad you're still beaming from your Birthday.

I watched Finn for a couple of hours this afternoon. He is so busy crawling around and exploring. After he left I laid down to rest for 30 minutes and woke up over an hour later. I am enjoying the cooler weather today. We even got a good rain. My lawn will green up and my new trees got a good soaking.

Waiting to go to a church council meeting, waiting to see to we are going to be on the thunderstorm watch, making a note to call about getting a copy of some medical work DH had to take to another Dr. for additional evaluation, hoping my son got the drainage tube out from his gallbladder surgery Sat, and wondering why people are so critical all over, and wondering why with so much oil we are producing in this state, why we cannot refine our own gasoline etc-----

What have you been up to, today?
