Hey there, radu!
He sure was and he gave his all to save others, no matter what.
It got up to 96, but until we got home after lunch, it wasn’t that bad. Probably mid-80s. Then the sun came out. The temp went up. I was taking a nap. 😁
How were things over there? Is the corn over your head now? 🌽
No down time...still several hours of work to get done tonight,
I am watering as we speak.
At least you slept through the hottest part of the day. It sounds like it was pleasant for going to and from church this morning.
It was a pretty nice day here after having rain all day yesterday, then again after midnight. It was pretty steamy though.
The corn isn’t over my head just yet but it’s close. By this time next week, it’ll be well over.
Drat. I hoped you’d be able to find a little down time at least. No rest for the weary.
Your grass will love you for the drink. :-) Do the ducks ever show up to play in the sprinkler?
Good evening, DUMBGRUNT, and thank you for the link to this evening’s hero with more information.
Good evening, luvie...eternal peace for giving his all for his fellow soldiers.
Well, I slept as the day got hotter. It’s the hottest at about the time we were to go to evening services at 5pm. The car was like an oven. But thank goodness the AC at the church building was doing good.
I’ll bet it was steamy after all that rain. But it’ll be great for all your plants...and unfortunately, for the grass, which will have to be mowed again before you know it.
I have a couple of sunflowers that are at least 12 feet tall. So cool! They just bloomed.
Fabulous picture of our hero!! Thanks.
They don’t have any trouble going in them if there is corn to be found. LOL!
Don’t you keep the car in the garage so it won’t get so hot? Oof.
It was steamy but not too hot so it wasn’t unbearable outside. I wanted to do some weed killin’ but my back’s still a little cranky from last week. I gave it another day’s break. Rain chances are low tomorrow so maybe then.
I don’t want to think about the grass growing. LOL
I forgot you have sunflowers. Did only two come up this year or are the two you mentioned the only ones blooming already?
Corn’s a big draw. LOL
I’ve seen other birds play in sprinklers but then they don’t spend time in creeks and ponds like ducks do.
No, we have a bunch of sunflowers in the flower bed, but these are just the first of a few to bloom before the others. Sunflowers make me smile. See how much taller it is than all the others. You can't actually SEE them much. There's another one just like it in the back bed
I don't blame you for not wanting to think about the grass needing to be mowed again. LOL! Yeah, a day when it won't get washed away by rain would be the best time to apply the weed killer. Hope it does some good...and doesn't kill the actual grass!
We did get to stay a few minutes out at Comanche Lake yesterday but as you can see it was a little stormy out there. We'll have some better weather today.
We did take shelter for a few minutes in the pavilion bathroom:
When the rain cleared out we got to spend time on the lake house dock.
The waves from the wind behind the storms.
And yes we did have a foot long coney from Sonic for supper.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Good that the car has good AC. You definitely need it down there. Heck, good AC is a must here too!
Ok, good. I knew you did have several sunflowers but wasn’t sure if something happened to kill off a bunch of them.
12 feet is really tall! The whole neighborhood can see those. LOL
I have weed killer and brush killer. The first will kill grass, too, but there are a few spots I need to kill it. The brush killer won’t kill grass but it kills a lot of viney stuff and broadleaf stuff that grows around here. Today would have been a good day to do it but I just didn’t feel up to it.
Instead, I spent quite a while watching the Lake Hood cam. That beautiful Grumman Goose that was just restored was flying quite a bit this afternoon. It’s a beauty.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
I saw that it was stormy over there yesterday afternoon. Yikes that it hit while you and Gizmo were out at the lake. At least there was shelter for y’all.
Enjoy your outing later today with nicer weather.
We couldn’t live hear without having AC everywhere we go.
That 12’ one is only one of the 2 that has gotten that tall. The rest of them are under 5’. I can hardly wait till they’re all blooming at the same time. They’re so cheerful.
Sounds like all that de-weeding is going to be hard work and take a while. Best to wait till your back feels better. Maybe you should de-grass the driveway. Just sayin’......😬
There were many years after I left home at 18 that I didn’t have AC where I lived or in my cars. That was rough but I survived. I couldn’t do it now though.
Sunflowers are very cheerful. There are so many varieties too.
There are a few spots in the gravel that I do spray to kill the clover that grows but what I mow along the driveway is between the driveway and the edge of the fields on each side out front. I don’t want to kill that grass and have that all mud.
The brush killer is for poison ivy, poison oak, and Virginia creeper more than anything but there are a few other things I spray it on as well. Not that much of it in this yard but around the old house is covered.
Do you guys have kudzu there? It was so thick in parts of Georgia and the people hated the stuff.
I guess I’d better go. I’m really sinking fast. See ya tomorrow!
