Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Sounds lovely! So glad spring has finally sprung for you! I hope you hear something very soon regarding your new grand baby!

Good evening, Pond!
Busy day here. Church, out to lunch with friends, a trip to the Greenhouse for plants, putting said plants in the garden, then sitting out in the yard, just enjoying nature at it's finest. Birds galore, deer, sunshine and great weather. What more could a person ask for?

Still on baby watch. Granddaughter #2's due date was today. No news so far.

Hope you all have had a wonderful day!

This is a small town sure. . but that doesn't mean bad things don't happen. If people wanna let their kids stay up late on a Saturday night that's not my business. . . but good grief keep them at home! Not out disturbing the neighborhood. My dogs were going insane barking and the ducks were alerting stranger danger well past midnight. I am so sick of idiot neighbors!

That is why i love living out in the woods.

DH's kombucha craze is going to be the death of me. A bottle of it got too cold, froze in the fridge & shattered everywhere. My whole kitchen smelled like vinegar all day yesterday & I couldn't figure out why. It took me forever, but I finally realized it was coming from the fridge. I started digging thru & kept finding chunks of sticky glass on the back end of all the shelves & still didn't know why. Stupid bottle was in the very back of the top rack so it spread far & wide when it blew. Luckily DH was in town & able to clean it up himself. If I'd had to do it, there would've been h*ll to pay & kombucha would've been banned from the house for life.

The embarrassing part is that I gave the neighbor a carton of eggs yesterday. They weren't near the mess & I made sure there was no glass, or kombucha residue on/in the carton just in case, but I bet it still smelled like vinegar.

Hey deb, I think there's some kind of medical protest, or walkout, or something tomorrow. Is that going to affect you at all? I'm hoping not.

Welcome AngieMae
We are a pretty fun bunch. It's actually been a bit quieter than normal here lately, but I think most of us are just dealing with lots of other "real life" stuff at the moment.
Glad you chose to join us. Hope you stick around for some fun!

What area of Ohio are you in, and where are you planning to move to?
