Yes, I slowed down on posting, but will continue, if anyone is reading here.
There is a new alert on dog food, in post 5660 and some wonderful animal photos posted by Fred Nerks and Lucyt.
What are you doing, are you well?
From the news today, money is going to be even tighter than we feared.

Hey Granny!
Haven’t abandoned you, just busy, busy. My long time right arm got another job, at the school, 9-2 instead of 8-5:30, five days a week instead of six, with the possibility of becoming full time/benefits. Can’t blame her, but I sure do miss her!
Meanwhile, everybody and their brother is planting a fall garden. Not a bad thing but I can’t keep up! They usually don’t even start planting until now, and I’ve already sold out of cabbage and broccoli 3 times, and the 4th set is selling evn tho it’s too small. And is it ever HOT here! Supposed to cool off tom—80 instead of 90—ha, ha. We have plenty of collards! The mums are about to pop and the first set of pansies came in this week,@ 2000 that had to be transplanted—they’ll be ready in about a month.
Besides the normal lunacy, my computer and roadrunner have conspired to convince me that cold molasses is the same thing as blazingly fast. NOT! Even when I can get on, half the time it kicks me off. RR’s best suggestion is to unplug everything, wait, and then plug it all back in. Shaking head.
Miss you and all my FRiends. Maybe it will slow down next month! (Not holding my breath!)
Hi, Granny! I’m still here. I’m in the same biz as Garden Girl, so I’m gearing up for fall up here in Wisconsin, too.
Hi, GG! :) Pansies, Mums in all sizes, decorative kales, whatever perennials are still blooming such as rudbeckia, aster, perennial grasses, hydrangea, etc. are all flying out of my garden center. People are getting in the mood to plant again for fall. We had GORGEOUS rain this past week; nice and slow and steady; up to 4” in some parts, but it was a good soaker after the drought we’ve had all summer.
My pumpkins, squash, gourds, Indian corn and corn stalk bunches will be arriving in two weeks, and then we turn the place into a Fall Festival with pumpkin carving, baked pumpkin treats of all types, scarecrow making, etc. I love Fall in Wisconsin.
As for the stock market, I’m not worrying. We have to lose 5,000 points for it to be as bad as The Great Depression was. And besides, I live on a dime already, so it won’t effect me much...other than making my weak dollar/contrarian investments grow, grow, grow! :)
Gotta play both ends of the field, don’t ‘cha know! :)
Super busy with the election/Family and all the stuff the Good Lord throws my way! Great to see You are still posting this! Solid Gold! Speaking of which, yes, the market is going to splash big time. Keep some extra cash under your mattress, I see Bank Runs in the not to far future.
