Nice pics, everyone! TO, I love your hibiscus, & you & your DD. Deb, that dog looks so comfy among all your freshly planted flowers. I'm sure he was just trying to get a little closer so he could appreciate them more.
Congrats on the hire, BTW. And I think your cats are adorable.
Cind, I've had a few seasons where I was sneaking zukes into almost everything I made too, including the meatloaf. It was really good! I agree, it's a good way to get your veggies, & to
try to make a dent in the zuke population. I was going to suggest your garden perpetrator was a woodchuck, but I don't know if they can scale fences. Will deer eat tomatoes? The ones around here seem to prefer my fruit & nut tree seedlings.
Wow, it sounds like you northerners have really been getting the rain. I guess we had a pretty good storm come through here from 5:30 to 6:30am today, but I didn't hear a thing. Too much fresh air yesterday?
I hope your gardens all survive. Sorry to hear of your borers, Bigz. Has anyone tried the snug T-shirt method on their dogs to help with their storm anxiety yet? That might help you, H&R.
Raiq, my bro had a real winner of a real estate person too. She wanted him to get hardwood floors, granite countertops, etc. I told him to tell her to buy it, then she could fix it up any way she pleased. And I sure wouldn't rely on them to come up with a price/value for your home. You tell them what you want for it. If it were up to them, they would put it up for $50k just to have it sell so they can make a little something. The market is so flooded with homes & noone is buying, so they are desperate for anything. Oh, well, I see Jim already gave you the lowdown. Nevermind.
Thanks for the CSA info, Kee. I was wondering the same thing.
Great advice, Jim. Good to know.
Awww, Bigz, that is sweet about your roo. I bet he was feeling pretty good about himself. And nice to hear about the cukes being a hit.
Wow, BL4, nice pic of the lightning!
TO, I noticed it getting dark earlier too. Stinks, doesn't it? It takes so long to get to that point, & then it flies by like nothing. As for our ride, we turned right there by the Shoebox, but didn't stop, though. It was packed! That was the place with the cow, right? It was a long ride, 9 hours worth, but it was so nice. The scenery was awesome and it was a good day to be on a bike, as long as you didn't have to stop too often, which we didn't. Then you noticed how hot it was.
Carol, Elaine, & whoever is deciding, my only real concern/request, is somewhere with wheelchair-accessible restrooms. I can always bring a scooter & do some 4 wheelin'.
(Port a potties aren't good).
FT, how about Bong? That would be closer than Mukwonago. You can take 11 west to 75 south to 142 west. It isn't far from I-94 for everyone else, just get off on 142 & head west til you get there.
Score on the vaccs & fans, BTW. Sorry your A/C is out. Cooler weather is
supposed to be coming soon.
Well, we didn't get to go on a ride today.
One of the guys had to work until 2 & by the time he got home & all ready to go, some wicked storms came through between them & us, so we took the cars & met in Lake Geneva for dinner. I haven't been there since I was a kid, and it sure has changed! And the people! You would have thought we were at Summerfest by the amount of people milling around. And don't even get me started on the prices either. Man, I'm starting to feel old........
Well, it is way past my bedtime. Sweet dreams, all!
