Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Hope your day went well today. We had another chance of rain go *poof*. Darn it!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Did it stay cooler all day today or did y’all have to break down and turn the AC on again?

[MoochPooch]

Hi Luvie (& Kathy)! Great pics!

[luvie]

It stayed cool enough for just the fan until late afternoon. It started getting humid, like it was going to rain, but then chickened out. LOL!

[luvie]

Yes! Kathy finds THE best photos for these wonderful threads!

[radu]

Darn that rain! You need some.
I wish it would go *poof* here so the yard won’t get away from me. LOL Had a couple of brief heavy showers this afternoon and now the front has begun to back up. Gonna be soggy the next two or three days. *sigh*

[luvie]

Doggone it! You’re going to be able to sit and watch that lawn growing taller. LOL!

I doubt if we’ve had an inch since last November....total. It’s getting very sad to see all the brown lawns around town. Even in the better neighborhoods.
