The chinaware sounds exquisite June. Should go well in the dresser.

No worries June, I really should go spend some quality time with his nibs. I told Rolanda I was going to....over an hour ago!
Sleep well.

Good morning all! Chilly this morning (36F) but no snow. West of me got a lot of snow though. The news said that the Buffalo area (by Niagra Falls) got a foot of snow! They got "lake effect" snow off of the Great Lakes. The weather forecast still shows a few snow flakes for the next few days, but I don't think we'll get it.

Guess everyone has gone to bed. Good night Gail, June and vdV and anyone else lurking about!

So much to do, so little time!

Hi Stella, pleased that you haven't got any of the white stuff yet. It seems to be very early for it to be falling. Though we have very lucky for a few years now and only had a couple of days of snow all winter. Usually in Jan/Feb

Not staying, just sneaking a peek!
to all who may enter!
Beautiful sunny morning here, supposed to get to 24C. There was mention of a possible late shower but we shall see. We had a decent amount of rain on the weekend, but the outside pots are already looking a bit dry.
Just the usual today, Stuff and Duty! Started walking again yesterday so when I sign out, I shall go for another one today. Baby steps!
Have a great day/night. Catch you later.

mmmm, GAIL, what about poor H, is he still pouting on being 'neglected' !!. so much for the QT with him..
at least I did spend QT with my poorly sick H.

no White Stuff falling here.

noice warm weather here. Sun is Shinning, sky is blue, not a cloud in view, birds are singing

heating up to mid 30's (C)on the weekend.

We're in the mid 30's here, too, but ours are the "F" kind. Hello, Rolanda, Gail and others. Rolanda, you must love the warm weather like I do.

It's hard to believe you haven't sat by your computer for the last two hours waiting for someone to say something. OK, I'm gone.

sorry Ruby, been busy..
just back from Curves..now need to have shower and feed the washing machine

Finally have some time to spend here. New health insurance programs studied and signed up for. Voting finished till fall. Internet back up.

While walking the dog tonight, hubby and I saw an old dog, half blind, wandering the neighborhood. Brought her home, phoned animal control, got the owner's address and took her home. Am happy that she's safe and sound with her people.

Gail and Rolanda, sounds like you guys are on the mend from the colds that are going around. Hope you're well in no time.

Stella, you seem to be busier now than when you had a house full of kids. Don't forget to take time for yourself.

June, would love to see your china piece. It sounds lovely. Bet you're having fun babysitting Laura.

Thanks Becky, no worries now. All ticketyboo here

vdV, did you get your paper written. Couldn't help even if I tried. Butterly McQueen's line from Gone With The Wind just popped into my mind.

Hi Gail. Glad to hear. But, you caught me talking to myself (again).

Good on you for rescuing that old pooch. Have been involved in a couple of rescues lately. There isn't a lot of traffic where we are but there are several logging trucks that go through our town and both rescues were on the main road so you can't just drive off and ignore the strays.

At least you got your CP in!!!

Its great to see you back Becky. Now you've got all this spare time on your hands(!), any plans?

Our road jogs at each end. Makes it look like a deadend at that ends of the block. The poor old gal was trying to find her way around fences, but there wasn't any break for her. Plus, she was going in the opposite direction of home.

Trying to catch up on my reading here and getting things ready for winter. Today, washed winter clothes, made refried beans and stuffed green peppers for the freezer.

We tend to have a lot of dogs brought up to our area and dumped by 'city folk'. The last time, I was driving just into the town and saw a car parked awkwardly on the side of the road and there was a woman on the footpath grappling with a dog. So, nosey as I am, I pulled up and asked if she was alright. It turned out that this dog had run out onto the road in between her car and a truck! Anyway, to cut a looong story short, about an hour later, she, the local ranger, another resident and I were finally able to get this dog contained. It was micro-chipped, but it was from the other side of Melbourne, about an hours drive from us!

Good for you. A lot of people would have driven right on by.

Today, I did a few regular chores but also spent a lot of time in the garden. We are finally getting a spell of warm weather and the sun has some heat in it. Up until the night before last, I have had the fire going off and on because the house has still been so chilly. To have the fire still going in November is unheard of...well almost. There was that Christmas day in recent years where it hailed so hard that it looked like snow! In our summer!!!

Hubby finally broke down and turned on our furnace. Got ready for bed and hubby said it was time. I had on long johns, a flannel nightgown and a robe. Came waltzing into the living room singing, "I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty."

I think that is what they mean by 'passion killers'!

He admitted that he had been cold, but wanted to wait for as long as possbile.

I love spring. The days start to get warm and knowing that summer is just around the corner.

My son's girlfriend has just come on MSN and told me that on their way home from work, the car hit a block of wood, blew the tyre and dented the rim! My poor kids are jinxed with cars.

If that's the only damage, they're lucky. I've seen people swerve to miss something in the road and hit something else. Bet he's a little peeved tho.

Hi Gail and Becky!

Peeved is the word, Becky. As my 'DIL' described it, he's dented his rim...AGAIN!
But you are so right, they are safe. That is all that matters.

When I taught my kids to drive, one of the first things I said was DO NOT swerve to avoid something. We live in the country so we often have thigs jump/run out in front of us but as I told them, better to hit the roo than have the oncoming truck hit you!

Gday Rena. If I drop out, please excuse me! I've got three convos going at once.

Hi Rena.

Good advice. Not to change the subject, but how big do they get?

Rena, still have the bears visiting?

Haven't seen any bears lately. Now it's turkeys and cows.

I can understand the turkeys, but where did the cows come from?
