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

MORNING POND

 

[orrpeople]

We have an "Alexa" in the house (yeah, I know, she's spying on us... spy away - we live pretty boring lives) and my boys set reminders so she goes off now and then (they said, "so you'll think of us" awww). She went off this morning, with one of their reminders, so I told E that "ALexa went off." She then launches into all the definitions for "off" - thanks old girl. Had a hearing check lately?

I don't think that Alexa likes me.

I don't think that Alexa likes me.

The feeling is mutual (at least for me.) my SIL bought us one of those a couple years ago & it completely creeped me out. I kept unplugging it & hiding it in the garage, but DH kept finding it. It hasn’t resurfaced for a long time, so it’s possible I hid it in the Goodwill bag.

We can finally breathe here today. I know it won’t last, but am enjoying the moment.

...Then there’s this poor guy. He’s been run over AGAIN. He’s been stolen 3 or 4 times & run over more times than I can count. Notice he doesn’t even bother to say “SLOW” anymore. Now he just says “OW” as he lays there in the road crying his little dirt tears.

Is that the little roo you got from the eggs you let your legbar hatch?

 

[Alaskan]

I think you've been out of Texas too long. Did your mom stay all summer?

She is still here... she is thinking of leaving the end of this month...but hasn't bought tickets yet.

I just zoomed that in. Is that frost?

Nope... water...it was raining...it is cold though, uh... warm....uh....50s and 40s.

Whatever that is.

@Alaskan, actually a pretty picture. Have those pink flowers gone to seed ?

Yep... see those seed pods at the top of the fireweed? They made drifts of white fluff. (They are fluffier than dandelion seeds)

You got to wake up AND get coffee!! Double score!!
