No men in the yard today, but “there was lots of activity with the helicopters today”.

[radu]

Those helicopters sure stay busy overhead, don’t they? LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

She did...and she repotted one of them. She said they seem happy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes, the helicopters are getting plenty of mileage.

[radu]

And it sounds like she’s happy to have them to nuture. They’re making each other happy. :-)

[radu]

They’re getting plenty of mileage here, too. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

She does like them. On the weekend she can spend all the time out there she wants.

Messing around with flowers brightens anyone’s day.
Good that they finally got flowers in the stores so she could have the petunias she waited so long for.

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. How's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

And I brought in one of the geraniums that looked like it wasn’t going to make it...she’s taking care of it and it’s doing better.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...any turtle victories lately?

You and Bo have a great Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

[radu]

Guess the geranium just wanted some extra attention. :-)
Sounds like it’s working.

I just came in from watering flowers in three beds. They’re flowers Dad sent over the past few years so they’re a bit special to me. The water soaked right in .... no runoff. They were desperate for water.

Hope we get some rain soon. The grass is turning brown now and tree leaves are getting that dry look. I haven’t worked up the courage to walk out to the fields to look at the tiny soybeans closely.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Man...I sure hope you guys get some rain soon...I suspect even a little would help a bit.

Those little soy beans are thirsty!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.

Statler Brothers ~ How Great Thou Art

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well when you get there.

I got a few little projects done...my Mom is doing a lot “talking” and “laughing” and “yelling”. I keep checking, but she’s asleep.

And now I’m going.

Good night!!!
