My grass greened up for a bit,now its croaking again. I heard my neighbor outside last night swearing at the lack of rain. His yard is a Home and Garden pic most of the year. Poor guy...you really cant even find a weed in his grass.
Half of my yard is St. Augustine, under shade from our large pecan trees, and it's my pride & joy! The other half, however, is in the sun all day, and is a mixture of Centipede & Bahia. I. Hate. Bahia. And it grows rain or shine (but mostly rain LOL). This rain will make it just 6" today. I'm not kidding. Grrrr.:mad:

Still, it's worth it to see my St. Augustine turn back to that beautiful deep green!:)
 
Top O' the mornin' friends. Day two of this week is under my belt. Time for some Java, check the headlines (if you can really call them that), my e-mail and then some sleep. Another addition to my office. I found a plastic three candle display that I painted to l look like actual candles, placed flame bulbs in them and viola... a Christmas candelabra. The spirit is taking over...

Don't you love flame bulbs? When I was a tot, we had a carriage-house-style lantern with a flame bulb in our basement rec room, and I was mesmerized by how realistic it looked. Will you keep adding things to your office as we get closer to Christmas? By then it should be a Christmas wonderland!

Nice to hear from you this morning MerryCarey. Yes, I probably will. There is a very nice three foot stuffed Santa that seems to need a home... :)
 
Good morning all my Christmas loving friends !

I just placed an Autumn muffin and pancake mix order, with apple cider, pumpkin spice, and apple cinnamon flavors. Our stores will get one flavor in typically, but not all. So now I'm set for a bit!
Have a wonderful day, CS!
 
Good Morning, Folks.
Closing in on another weekend.......and another Milestone!

Days to the Season: 101
Days to Christmas Day: 143
And when I say closing in, I really mean closing in --- as in TOMORROW!

Yes my Friends, Friday sees us arrive in style at the 100 DAY SEASON WINDOW, setting the stage for a double-digit Season count sequence to commence the following day.
WOW!
Just, WOW!!


Well, a bit of relief from the heat and humidity is here. Don't know how long it will last but I will accept any handouts Mother Nature decides to bestow.
We are at 74 degrees here currently, and should stay below 90 again today.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
Weekend Eve once again tomorrow!
Thanks, Crown!
Have a blessed Friday Eve~
Excited for our milestone tomorrow!!
 
Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

We finally got some good rain in Bellville last night. My rain gauge is broken, but I know it was at least 2". The only family member that didn't like it was Lulu. The thunder just scares her to death. She burrowed down in her mama's lap for the duration of the storm. Poor girl.

But it's nice not to have to fight the dying grass for a few days, anyway.

I hope y'all have a great day! :D
Hugs to Lulu!
Happy Friday Eve, Brad :)
Glad you guys got some rain!!
Have a fantastic day!

Good evening,

It was a long day here with an unexpected twist. We ended up becoming parents of three new furbabies today! We adopted three, eight week old kittens. We saw a sign saying free kittens and went in for a look. I thought if we were to get any it would have been one, but my wife didn't want to separate the siblings.

This is them, Stella on the left, Tuukka in the back, Luna on the right.
The have the most easygoing temperament for kittens we have ever seen, just a joy to watch. The other furkids are not as happy, and some are quite angry with us. My boy Alex won't even look at me, he just stares at the wall when I talk to him. He is usually the one who runs out to see me as soon as I get home, but angry right now.

I am heading to bed now, I will get caught up tomorrow.

Goodnight, everyone

Congratulations on your new additions, they're adorable Xmas!!!
 
Good morning ~
Happy Thursday!
Not too much going on here today. I have a couple of errands to run and I'll be working on my daily chores. My youngest has off again today, we're going out for lunch. Just need to decide where we want to go.
Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good morning everyone! Wishing each of you a great day ahead.

We arrived back home yesterday around suppertime, after a 4h30 drive and picking-up Loki at our in-laws. He was so excited to see us. It is so much more humid here than it was in he woods. As much as I enjoyed our time there and the hospitality of our hosts, I'm happy to be home. And as I told David, I'm never going outside in the evenings until I find a way to repell mosquitoes that actually works. It just ruined the experience of sitting around a fire for me. Today we'll relax with Loki and try to stay cool in the scorching heat. Then we'll plan some daily outings to enjoy during the rest of our vacation.

Happy Thursday fellow Christmas fans! I just want to say I love you all and hope you have a day that is full of fun!

Good Thursday Morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve! The visit with Rollins was fun and he definitely remembered us. Going to visit him on Saturday and they should have a better idea on how much longer till he feels better enough to go home. I'm glad they haven't rushed him home. Some places would. It's absolutely beautiful out...another September type feel. FYI, I was reading some predictions from accuweather concerning the upcoming Autumn. Sounds like the 1st half will be mild for many in the USA and the 2nd half may be chilly just in time for Thanksgiving through Christmas. I'm hoping that's what happens.
Have a great Friday Eve everyone!

My pool overflowed yesterday Brad. I also heard that somewhere near you got 4 inches in 45 minutes. That's a lot of water!
