A man walks into a zoo.
They only have one animal on exhibit.
It's a dog.
It's a shih tzu.
(Sorry. Someone texted this to me yesterday and I giggled like an idiot for entirely too long after reading it.)

Anything You Wanna Talk About V - Prolly Mostly Off-Topic
Comments (150)Thank you, Laura... such wonderful sentiments! :-) Our weather has been crazy, too... but we half expected it. Last year, we were already laying out soaker hoses and starting to water...and this year, we've gotten so much rain that we're completely saturated! We're just now able to get in and cut grass, and talk about tall! It's hard on the mowers, I'm sure, but what can you do?! If it's grass, it has to be kept mowed at least semi-regularly... and if it's garden beds, they must be kept weeded or the grasses, thistles and other nasties take over! So, we're darned if we do and darned if we don't! Mother's Day was nice... calls from my kids, and the husband made a nice dinner... while I spent the day relaxing, for the most part. There are certain chores that must be done regardless of what day it is, like cleaning and feeding dogs and other animals, but that's no big deal... I have it down to a science! ;-) I finally got the old guy to help me get photos off my camera, so I thought I'd share a few this morning... Here's a mama and her twins... My very best mouser... I call her Vixen! The next generation of excellent mousers... one of Vixen's 3 little ones... Walking from the shade garden area toward the new rose arbor... A young Peony Tree in the dappled shade garden... notice the rambler rose runners everywhere on the ground! Closeup of the flower from the Peony Tree... Another Peony Tree in the front yard... north side... And this is a Trillium that opened white and is turning a pale pink shade. It's among a patch of purple flowered hybrid Trillium I planted several years ago... you can see the mottled leaves of the hybrid... I didn't plant the white one, though... And finally, the first of the Irises are starting! I hope you enjoyed a walk around the yards with me... stick around as all the roses begin blooming and other perennials begin to color the gardens a wonderful rainbow of scented color! Thanks, Al... I can finally view Youtube, but the monitor I'm using has no sound on board... for a girl with a technological genius as a husband, I'm always the last to get upgraded! Would you believe I'm still using Windows XP?! I desperately need an upgrade to Windows 7, which should be coming shortly... when he has time to upgrade me. :-) It's kind of like being the plumber with the leaky toilet handle that sticks, or the barber that doesn't have time to cut his own hair... when you're in the business, you're last in line! :-) It looks to be another gorgeous day... sunny and hot with strong humidity... I may spend some time weeding and edging today, instead of killing myself cutting grass! Hope everyone has a lovely day! And... Happy Gardening!...See MoreYou wanna talk temperature extremes?
Comments (13)Larry, I agree with you about the mud. We have had mud almost nonstop for the whole year, and yet we've only had about 2.4" of "rainfall", which includes all the melted ice and snow. We have clay, though, so with the sunshine, higher temperatures and low humdity forecasted for this week, our clayey mud will turn to concrete-hard clay by about Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm glad too because I am tired of the mud. Tulsastorm, The drought does continue, but I expect to see some improvement on the U. S. Drought Monitor Map in some parts of OK when it comes out next Thursday. However, it won't be the driest areas that show a lot of improvement, but rather the ones that were just barely dry enought to make in into the "Abnormally Dry" category anyway. Still, for a lot of us, the Fractional Water Index has shown good improvement this week, at least at the two-inch level. A lot of areas have seen their Keetch Byram Drought Index fall and that's a good thing too, although I think it will begin to climb again almost immediately. Unfortunately, the lower KBDI numbers only indicate fires will not be as intense, not that they won't happen. I've linked the current KBDI map below. Although its purpose is to predict fire intensity, I use it to track how much moisture is in our soil. In Love County, our KBDI is at the lowest level it has been since the Sept. rainfall here dropped it back to zero. For those of you not familiar with the KBDI, zero is good and 800 is bad.

Comments (14)The island is still a barrier, the fridge door opens the wrong direction to be convenient to that side of the kitchen, and there is no landing space for the fridge, except over the two seats on the end. Imagine someone trying to gather items to make a sandwich (blue line in front of fridge), and then needing a place to assemble it. And forget about it if the seats are in use. The pantry is in a good position though, and it, and the ovens, are the only zone crossing, except for the freezer, and I'd think you'd be taking something from it several hours before you start prep. Your plan with the twins on the right wall is better, IMO, but with the oven on that wall, and the island with seating on two sides, with a bigger prep sink: The end of the island will be landing space for the fridge, and with the shorter island, there is room for someone to stand there and assemble a sandwich or snack. There is zone crossing, but the fridge can be accessed from the living areas without interrupting someone at the clean-up sink. With the shorter island the two people on the end can make eye contact with those seated on the long side--if you are in the far seat, you can see each of your kids as you eat and talk, or if you and your DH sandwich the kids, you can see him, without leaning around a kid. And you'll still have easy access to the work aisle, if you need to retrieve a forgotten item. You will also have shallow pantries, making it easier to see items without pulling out drawers or trays. What material are you planning to use for the island top? If stone or quartz, you won't get the top from one slab if the island is 12'. Maybe not from granite if it is only 10'. So, you'll need an extra slab, and you'll have a seam. You don't need more expensive, deeper cabinets to have a deeper island--you can use a framed pony wall, which would also add support for the deeper top. If you feel that you need more prep areas, you can m/l center the prep sink on the island, so that there is sufficient space on each side (excuse the crazy lines--I didn't take time to re-draw):...See More
