Hope Har's cough is better. My youngest struggled most of the night with coughing too. I have kept him off Nursery today as he is still coughing.

Wow only a few weeks till the big move! Bet you can't wait to get it over with so can settle in your new home.

Thanks!
Hope your youngest gets relief from his cough soon.

Yes, we can't wait to get settled in. These next weeks will be a blur, so much to do and so little time!

Happy Weds everyone!! 2.5 hours to go for me then the holiday weekend starts. Quick stop into Starbucks, local butcher shop and thats it for the day.

Happy Pines Day, NcG!

Merry Morning and Happy Pines Day.

I woke up to a freezing morning. The smell of pine and wood smoke suddenly transported me to autumn days in October. My favourite month. My favourite season. Outside is washed in dark grey and the sky overcast. I am warming up with a steaming mug of coffee and the fire while visions of jack-O-lanterns dance in my head.

Have an easy going, pleasant day everyone.

Merry Monday Festive!
I'm longing for Autumn now, that sounds lovely!
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! Happy Rudolph Day #5 and Pines Day! Hope you're all starting to think about the long Memorial Day weekend ahead of us. It looks like the warmth is right on schedule as I usually wind up having to put the a/c up around Memorial Day weekend and here we go into the 80s now today through the weekend. I plan on putting it up on Saturday (even though it shows next week we're going to be cooling off again back to normal/below normal).
I hope you all have a great Pines Day and see you guys tonight!

Good morning Edge!
Happy Pines Day & Rudolph Day, hope it's a good one!!!

Good Morning, MMC Members Extraordinaire.

And let me tell you, the looming proximity of our next Milestone Marker is extraordinary indeed!

Days to the Season: 172
Days to Christmas Day: 214

And, as is foretold by the second number above, we are precisely TWO weeks away from the grand opening of the 200-day Christmas Day Window and the launch of a double-100's count sequence, signalling the beginning of the fast track to our Holiday of choice.
(Oh, Joy! Oh, Rapture!)


As predicted by the weather service, yesterday was sunny and dry and yes, I DID get that lawn mowed!
More of the same today only warmer, as we move ever closer towards the inevitable heat and humidity.
Currently, our back door thermometer tells us it is 64 degrees outside.


Well, it is mid week and we all know what THAT means!
So does Carl, and he's ready and waiting with......well......who knows what.
But, like every Wednesday, the mysterious 'Pines activities director and his fascinating plans beckon us to the door.
Will you join me there this evening?

Until then, you all -- each and every one -- have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Thanks Crown!
Hope you have a great day!!!

Good morning all my Christmas loving friends !

I called in sick today, allergies or cold not sure which but feel clogged up and just plain yucky. Don't have to be in again until 12:15 on Friday so lots of time to get better. The students are back so we end up with less hours which really sucks. Nothing can be done about it because they just remind us that we were never promised any set number of hours a week.
Oh well, more time to work in the garden !

Hope you all have a fantastic day !

Good morning, CS~
Hope you feel better!
Happy Pines Day & Rudolph Day!

hmmmm maybe I should go to the pines, I heard Carl had a good cure for allergies and colds.

 

[Edge612]

That's great news Edge!

I remember those long waits for warmer weather when I lived further north. No fun.

Yeah it certainly is a long wait.

 

[Edge612]

Me too Edge! I relish warm summer days in the 60s (the odd 70s if we are lucky). I love going to sleep with the windows open and summer breeze fluttering through the curtains or sitting out in the garden with bare feet Houses here don't have A/C

We don't get to the 80s here so I can appreciate it can get too warm for you guys sometimes.

Lucky you guys don't need A/C. I like the 80s (as long as it's not crazy humid)...I don't really need 95 degrees though (fortunately we rarely get that hot here).

 

[Edge612]

Happy Weds everyone!! 2.5 hours to go for me then the holiday weekend starts. Quick stop into Starbucks, local butcher shop and thats it for the day.

Enjoy it!
