Thanks, unique, for the logo.
I was keeping an eye out for it. Get the right clouds in the sky and sunrises and sunsets can be really pretty.
I couldn’t see that cloud from the house but by the time I got to the spot out back to take pix, it was quite visible.
I kept hearing a deer “blowing” at me but it took a while to spot it. It was across the fields, standing close to the trees on the left of the pic.
What’s really cool at sunset is watching the farm come alive with sparkles. That’s when the lightning bugs wake up and start flying up from the grass. The whole place sparkles with them, like a fairy land.
Heading outside to finish watering flowers. The new hoses I bought are great and the flowers and my back are all happy. :-)
Be back shortly.
Flowers should be happy for a couple of days and by then, maybe we’ll get rain. I sure hope so! The air is filthy with dirt. You can smell it when you walk out the door, and the moon and stars are orange tonight. blech!!!
Hope your mom has settled down a bit by now.
Same thing though ours are called Flex-Able hoses. A friend told us last night that she’d gotten a couple of them last week and she loves them. I’ve been debating on trying them but wasn’t sure if they really worked as advertised. Her endorsement got me in gear and am I ever glad! I bought two 50 footers to hook together. We have regular hoses but lugging 100 ft. of them around the yard doesn’t make the ol’ back happy. These weigh next to nothing, even when water-filled.
My back still isn’t happy after hauling the watering can around a week or so ago and I was going to just let the flowers do the best they could on their own. Now I can keep the special ones - the ones from Dad - going without crippling myself any more. Whew!
Just took her her night time glucosamine and ibuprofen. She’s in bed, watching tv, and quiet. It’s been a long day running back and forth, trying to dispel the notion of helicopters and people in our yard.
I heard her tell my sister that “they” had been in our yard earlier cutting down our trees as well as the people across the street. We have probably been thru this 20 times today...NO ONE has been in our yard, not today or any time in the recent past, and NO ONE has cut down a single one of our trees.
Good for your friend and her suggestion. Your favorite flowers can now enjoy their water knowing Mom’s not killing herself to bring it.
Hoo boy! Sounds like she made up for her quiet day yesterday, doesn’t it? Not fun for you and it can’t be fun for her being upset all the time about all that “activity” in the yard.
Sounds like another day with her petunias is in order tomorrow. :-) They seem to calm her for the rest of the day.
She got hers in order to save a few shrubs that her mom planted years ago. Her mom’s been gone a while now and the shrubs are a nice reminder of her.
She has a bad heart and isn’t supposed to do too much in the way of strenuous things and hauling watering cans really isn’t an option for her. She saw the hoses at Wally World last week and decided what the heck.
So Wally World’s where I went today as soon as I’d shaken the cobwebs out. LOL! Should have gone last night after we got home from our night out, while it was cool. It was a roaster today. Still warm out there but comfortable so. Just muggy. And the air is cruddy. Still blowing my nose, feeling like my sinuses are full of dirt. LOL
I’ll get her out tomorrow onto the deck with her petunias.
I am so beat tonight, mentally exhausted. Think I’ll play a few tunes and try to get some sleep.
As much as you need rain, I hope it doesn’t rain until after she’s had some time outside.
Hope you’re able to get a GOOD night’s sleep so you’ll be refreshed in the morning.
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How's it going?
((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How’s it going?
BTTT
LOL! I think I just took a nap. Good night and rest well when you get there.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
Thanks, unique, for the pastries.
Coffee is always on........
How about a donut?
Cookies?
