Good morning, Tuesday lovers. Time for your smoothie.

Sorry about the red x, darlin. Do you have a vivid imagination?

A smoothie sounds good, and maybe kinda fun? By the way, all I can see at work is a red x.

 

[mak2]

That is why I thought it sounded kinda fun.

Once again, I'm so impressed with all you horticulturalists around here. Love reading about your gardens... plz share pics as you go along. I'd love to see where that stuff I buy at the grocery store comes from. LOL

Keep up the good work, mother earthers!

I was starting to wonder if it was ever going to warm up enough to start planting. It finally did and the ten day outlook looks good. Heading to the garden centers today in search for some specific seeds. I would love to get them planted by this weekend. Happy Tuesday!

Well, I had called dibbs on SMW. So you will have to get another one of the girls to bring you yours. :lol:

She is after all our little hostess with the mostess.

Crazy planning for a few days off, I retired from the airlines, I can fly free...when there are seats. So, I had this good trip to Costa Rica planned, beach, mountains, driving, etc. But, at the last minute, the flight I need to take to connect filled up, (after I put down the hotel deposit) there are still seats, but the flights before it are over booked and lots of standbys who are over me. So I did a backup plan in case I didn't make it...Mexico....but the hotel situation is crap.

So, I dug all over the place to find an empty flight....somewhere... I think I have it...flying to LA tomorrow, catch a plane to Kona, and drive to beautiful Hilo for a few days, and a few days in Kona. Not anything new and exciting, but it should recharge my batteries. Standby can be really great, but it is really nerve wracking at times, and you have to be flexible..now, to find a hotel...

No rain here till Thursday. I have a meeting tomorrow at 9:00 clear across town. I will have to leave at 7:30 or there abouts to make it on time because rush hour these days is a nightmare. I should be finished by 12:00 and hoping I can get some seeds planted before the rains come on Thursday. Perfect timing.

As a former non-rev myself, I can relate. I was once stuck in Vegas for 2 days, broke. Not a good place to be with no money and no way to leave. The agents got so tired of seeing me hang out at the gate, they put me in first class. Hawaii sounds great. Have a wonderful trip.

Good morning, barflies. Enjoy the last of this season's awesome bluebonnet show. Gorgeous.

Mornin SMW.

We barely have any flowers up and growing. But the dandelions are starting to make a showing on the lawns.

Time to break out the weed and feed.

<<<<< naturally I always check for that push up bra.

Looks like we wont be hit until the Weekend. Although our temps have dropped down into the 30s for the late night/early morning hours.

Did I mention I hate folding clothes.....I don't mind throwing them in the washer and dryer. Don't mind having to pour in the fabric softner nor throw a couple sheets of Bounce in the dryer. Don't even mind having to clean out that dryer screen. But this folding up of clothes is just not one of my favorites when having coffee. Which is always the time I have to do the clothes. Nice and early before all start waking up and getting up on the grid. Its just not Right, I tell ya.

They need to make a dryer that folds them up nice and neat for one. Especially all the socks and putting which ones go with which and all that. Lot of time is lost going thru stuff and I always still find a sock that got caught in something else or left one in the dryer. Get all up in a pair of jeans and one of the legs. What is up with that, is that like those 3 Fates messing with me? You know two of them girls never get it Right.

Poor baby. You know they make nylon mesh bags you can put all your socks in and theyll stay together thru washing and drying.

But then that would take away the challenge, huh?

Hah!

This is the great feminine fallacy.

Socks do not disappear in the washer nor dryer cycle, they disappear on the way to and from those machines. They escape, find freedom from the torurtes of being washed and then subjected to torturous temperatures.

Cmon now.....I'm not competing with anybody. Plus that bag doesn't sort thru them and put them all together. Back in a dresser and all that.

Not to mention I have limited myself to a only a few lounge-around clothes after I get off work. So see I was conserving. :mrgreen:

I might have to start going to the laundry-O-matic and get some ladies to show me the proper way to fold Clothes. :2razz:

Afternoon MMC. Hope those temps warm up soon for ya. Been a super day here. Our lows are getting into the 50's. Good sleeping weather with the windows open. I lost several of my herbs this Winter. That's never happened before. I picked up replacements today along with basil and dill which I have to plant annually. I did find the morning glory seeds I wanted. Picotee Red which is a deep pink for the trellises in front. Saw beautiful geraniums in the same color to use in the planters. I also found the sunflower seeds I want to grow along the fence in back. They grow about 5 ft with a border of Victoria Blue Salvia that gets to about 2 ft. Planting Scarlet bean runners again in the planters next to the arbor. They really did well last year and had hummingbird sightings daily. I have no idea what else to plant but that will have to wait for another trip to the garden center.

I'm with Smartie on the laundry bags for socks. You can get one at the Dollar Tree for a buck. It sure saves a lot of time.

Got the windows open and letting in the fresh air.

I'm dead-dog tired. Been doing this custom built-in in a mud room in yet another fancy-dancey place. It's an eight foot long afair - in pieces of course, but the bench is 8' long as well as some of the other accoutrements. Usually I do chores very early, take a break, and then work well into the evening. No morning break today. I'm feeling it, but it's a good-tired. Hope y'all had a good day too. Thank God for Sunday.

 

[vesper]

Gooood morning folks! Just got a wonderful phone call this morning. My daughter's biopsy came back benign. It's been a long week waiting for the results hoping for the best and trying to prepare for the worst. Coffee tastes extra good this morning. Have a good one.

 

[Smartmouthwoman]

Great news, V.

Good morning, y'all. Beautiful weather in Big D. Glad I've got tomorrow off to enjoy it.

I made that angel food cake with the berries in the center, and the strawberry glaze, Vesper told me about.
It's really delicious!
