Good Morning, Folks.

With Monday behind us, we advance on into Tuesday, with Wednesday ('Pines Day) just ahead.

And speaking of advancing, our count has rapidly been doing just that.
Take a look:
Days to the Season: 192
Days to Christmas Day: 234

Now barely 10 days separate us from the half-way point to the Season.
SINGLE DIGITS from tomorrow!



Fantastic day here yesterday with continued low humidity, highs in the 70's and no precip whatsoever.
(I intend to enjoy it while I can with the knowledge that the heat of Summer is just around the corner.)
Today has commenced at 61 degrees here in central NC.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends!

Me too! It's driving me crazy! They say to let it in rice for 48-72 hours. Today the 48 hours will be up, but I'm going to wait for 72 just to be sure!!! AHHHHH!

Aww, she looks cute with her green tint!!!

Too bad it's not St. Patty's Day! :grin:

Hope your husband had fun planting today and that Gracie's appointment went well!!

That's an affirmative to both! They got all the corn in & he always enjoys farming. Gracie's appointment went well & she looks so different - so little!

My friends who are gardeners & farmers all say how rewarding they both are. Lots of hard work, but so rewarding.

I bet she looks adorable.
I swear, half of their weight is their coat! [emoji3]

Good morning.

I suppose this morning, I was not fully awake yet when I left the house this morning to head to work, because I took the pick-up truck. Well, the truck, was fully loaded to about 3 feet above the cab of the truck, with all this stuff that I was going to take to the dump later this week. I didn't tie anything down, but had it packed really tight and had the lighter stuff on the bottom with heavier stuff on top. I got about half way to work this morning (during rush hour traffic no less) and one of the boxes in the truck blew open (the box was 5 feet tallx3'x3' and it was full of insulation). Well, let's just say that I apparently left a bread crumb trail of insulation from here (work) back to home.... I had no clue at all the box blew open...I was kinda wondering why I had no one directly behind me on the Baltimore Beltway this morning when there is usually a million cars on it.....oops...

Well, that is too bad. But it was an honest mistake.

I have a half awake story, too. I just couldn't wake up this morning, I was making waffles and had syrup out, and put syrup in my coffee cup, instead of on my waffles, lol. Duh.

Needless to say, I'm on my third cup of coffee!

I agree!!! Not nearly as many things to worry about.

My neighbor always talked about the time his house got hit by a tornado. He had 2 guys just come up to him after the storm and said they were looking for work. He hired them both and let them stay with him and his wife while they fixed the house. You would never do that now of days!!!!

You are right about that. It's difficult sometimes to walk the line between being neighborly and kind to strangers, and being careful and safe---both in real life and online.

It's doing better. Still not completely pain free. Went to the doctor and they said the knee pain and hip pain is because of how I'm walking on the foot. She thinks there is multiple things going on with the foot but isn't sure what all of them are. So she is sending me to an ortho and pulled me off of work until I get seen by them. That's not until the 20 though. So I don't think Walmart is to happy with me.

They may not be, but your continued mobility and health are more important just now.

Yes!!! OMG, you are sooo right, the stories.... I love sitting there listening to his stories from the 20-40's.... This may sound goofy, but even though times and life was hard, the people and life seemed more simpler back then, for the most part.

There are so few people left from that time period ... I'm just in awe of hearing stories from someone who lived through those decades. It's part of why we're so awed with Gloria when she tells us about her experiences in Hollywood, singing with Bing Crosby, dancing with Donald O'Connor, working with W.C. Fields (who was very fond of her), having Mel Torme play "The Christmas Song" on her piano before it was published and recorded ... and some not-so-nice stories about Hollywood and public life, too. Thinking that people we only see on a screen, she remembers as you or I would remember time spent with a co-worker. It's amazing what one life can encompass.
