IRIS IMAGE

The detection device, part of an interagency system, scans an individual's biographical information and matches it against an internal database. The system allows soldiers in the field to quickly identify whether a person of interest is on a watch list. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Frank Inman

Howdy, Arrow! (((hugs)))

How’s your garden growing? Hubby has various little teensy
plants coming up in his. I think you gave him inspiration to
plant for fall. Summer stuff didn’t do very well.

[ex-snook]

My prayers now for God’s blessings.

[Arrowhead1952]

I have lettuce, turnips, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic and spinach planted. I just hope we get rain so I don’t have to water all during fall.

Update on Ray Nadeau:

I received an email this morning that Ray is doing well. He will be staying at Providence St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank for 2 to 3 days. He will remain in Burbank with family for follow up medical services for a couple of weeks. I will update as more information comes in. Thank you all for your prayers for Ray. SD

Praise the Lord for good news about your friend, Ray! I pray he continues to improve and recover!

[Kathy in Alaska]

The computer guy has stood me up two nights in a row

THIS is SO annoying!!

Have a great rest of the day...((HUGS))

[beachn4fun]

Good news!

[beachn4fun]

Hiya Ma ((HUGS))

Yeah, dude needs communication skills - now he says, "been out of town, parts are in, computer is apart, needs more time."

Now I'm off for home to begin the task of getting the thread together.

Got to visit with Mr. Beachy first...he just got home from Michigan...had to go to funeral.

Glad to see that you didn't get blown away.
Try to enjoy the rest of your day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You can do it, even if you have to use a PC. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...any rain on the horizon?

We are hoping for a couple weeks of drying out.

[TASMANIANRED]

Spraying them down with water keeps the dew on the leaves from freezing and killing the leaf.

Water from the hose is much warmer than the air temp.

It will only work in a narrow temperature range..if it’s colder than about 28 it won’t work.

Night time temps since that time have been in the 50’s and 60’s..2 inches of rain last night.

I just watched this on my iPad....I’m copying and pasting blind as it is blocked at work and I can’t check it.
