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

I’m funny about clocks, but I’ve never killed one surprisingly. I just replaced the electric digital click that I keep in my bedroom. I had it for over 30yrs & got a little emotional letting it go. It felt like I was throwing away a lifelong friend.

Pocket watches are sexy! Especially the kind that you can see the gears moving in the back.:love

I'm weird about 'old' stuff - especially my shirts. I have some really old shirts.

That's me Mr sexy gears - mine are starting to slip a bit.

I will only allow digital clocks in the bedrooms & on appliances. Other wall clocks & watches must be analog (it’s a homeschool thing I think.) I prefer manual over battery.

My biggest thing is that I need them all to tell the same time. Nothing more irritating than losing & gaining time every time you change rooms. My distracted brain can’t handle it. If one clock is off, by God they all better be off. :old

I used to work for a quirky boss.. Loved him. He had a sign on his desk that said "A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind" but he also always said a man with only one watch knows what time it is. but Give him two and hes never sure... ::Snort::

I opt for none. so I either show up early or late... It is what it is...

Afternoon, Pond!
I am a little mopey today. I was supposed to be in IA visiting baby grandson, but my plans got changed. I was 2 1/2 hours into my 3 3/4 hour drive there, when my son called. His MIL had been tested for Covid because her Dr. suspected that she might have it. She was visiting Grandson and his parents on Thursday, and started feeling ill on Friday. So, Son told me to turn around and go home. He and DIL went and got tested yesterday afternoon. His MIL turned out negative, but son and DIL haven't gotten their tests back yet. I'll have to video chat with them later today, so I can at least see the kid. Schedules are tight, and at the rate we're going, I won't be able to see him until September sometime. (As early as possible, that's for sure!)

Due to my change of plans, DH and I were able to get some sweet corn picked and frozen yesterday. For a "not very good stand", and "we'll be lucky if we get a few meals out of it", we did pretty good. We've had several meals of it, plus managed to get 65 pints in the freezer. We did 20 pints on Sunday, and the rest yesterday.

Not much else going on around here. I will have 11 fewer chickens by the end of the week. My meaties are ready to go.

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

I've probably mentioned this here more than once, but you just reminded me that my grandparents kept one clock on standard time & one on daylight savings time. I tell people their house was so big it took an hour to go from one room to another :)
