So just before I woke up, I thought I was waking to the sound of the jawas arriving to try to sell me droids...and this is the only Star Wars item I've seen in a longish time.
some folks jest needs killin'...
mmmmmmmmmmmm... firepower...
Moi? ;o)
Is that the corollary to "An armed society is a polite society" ?
ROTFL!! Stuned, they were.
Good morning everyone!
~sip~
Morning!
It's sunny and warm. That means - spring hat time! Whoo-hoo. And spring dresses, which is good because I don't have many winter ones.
It's warm here too, and while at this point I hope it continues, it's a spring with a sense of unease for me, like winter didn't go right. It never snowed. It didn't really even rain much. We are something like 8 inches behind 'normal'.
'Morning!
It's mid-50's here and the houseplants are outside now...think I'll leave them there overnight. Miss Cat is out on the back...well, "deck" would be generous....cat-lounging area.
OB I opened the sgd to exactly 6 inches and Miss Cat was able to go through.
Never snowed? Not at all? Weird....
Morning OT - Gypsygirl enjoyed a long walk, couple new dogs in theshire, they barked-she ignored.
Got a new lock for the back door and a new birdbath for the flower garden.
re; misskitty. They can get through some narrow spaces when they want to. Normally they doubtless prefer the door to be entirely open.
Morning Hair. That would be worrisome. That's quite a dearth of precip for your area. Hope the later dry season doesn't give you too much trouble.
sip.
It's still a little too nippy for that. Maybe later this afternoon. Right now she is enjoying her late-morning nap on the couch.
City water supplies will have real problems because there is no snow pack to speak of. Our ski resorts never opened this year. It's been devastating to them.
Here at home, well-fed water supplies probably be just fine, our ground water will catch up with spring rain that I think will still come. But Seattle and Tacoma get water from reservoirs fed by snowpack.
Hello! I like the new hole and I especially like the group pic of us all. What's up with the dwarf making funny faces?? (jk) The weekend has proven as busy as my week was. :( But I'm taking the opportunity to sit outside for a while in the sun for some Vitamin D therapy (always mood enhancing) and contemplate this year's garden. Wish it werent so cold. I'm sooo ready for spring...
We're sortof in the same situation, Feb was mild, but not quite warm enough to do any real gardening projects yet. I need temps in the 50's at night before I can re-seed the lawn that has been beaten down by traffic all winter, and that's the first thing I want to do.
A couple crocuses are blooming here, daffy's and tulips are poking their leaves up. Won't be long now. Drat. There is a cloud blocking my sunshine. :(
Clouds will pass... :~D
MmmmMMmmMMMMmmmm
It's warming up here, already 61.
If it gets up to 65, I'm going to bathe horses and go for a ride.
