Good day everyone!

In case of emergency there are instant coffee and knäckebröd rations in the Break room.
Not sure if they are useful against hornets. Probably not. Over here no bug plague presently.
Still spring and not many insects yet. Sooner or later they'll arrive but not yet.

The witches on the other hand are back tonight. This time candy is not enough to scare them away.
Instead we light bonfires. Most excellent witch repellant. Because they never stop to make miscief but keeps flying to whatever their destination. Possibly Häcklefjäll or Blåkulla.

Happy Walpurgis Night Gameboomers
Be safe out there

Good Wednesday morning! Started the early morning hours with yet another thunderstorm and more rain. I'd like for it to stop for a few days, but it sure is making my asparagus grow!

Hubby took Bella the Bloodhound in to the groomer's this morning. She's so big she won't fit in my little truck, so he has to take his. You'd think a Bloodhound has a short coat and wouldn't shed so much, but she has this thick undercoat and sheds huge literal PILES of it. She even has clumps on her hindquarters. We can't get down to groom her any more, so we take her to the "spa!" She smells incredibly bad too, so at least for awhile she won't be so stinky! I do have to remind them to not use heavily scented products on her though. They did once and I'm not sure who hated it more - her or me! Her sense of smell is so far beyond anything humans can perceive.

The hummingbirds are really thick this morning... so nice to hear them chittering and arguing over the feeders again.

Connie, I am so relieved to hear your friend is continuing to improve. What a relief it must be for her family and friends.

Happy Wednesday to you all!

Fogfighter, will you be singing and dancing around the bonfires?

I was hearing some Cardinals outside yesterday but unfortunately could not see them through my window.

Nothing going on here today (as usual) except I need to try to cook something.

Enjoy the day everybody!

Fogfighter, have you ever seen this video taken at a Walpurgis festival in Germany?

Walpurgis Witches Dance

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready! I went out to breakfast with some friends yesterday...I indulge in a plate of Belgian waffles with strawberries and whip cream...it was delicious! When i got home I did my 4+ mile walk...hope that keeps from putting on weight!

Have a great day!

Gerry

Good day everyone!

First of May. A public holiday over here. Kind of Labour Day.
No singing for me yesterday but the locals arranged some event with a pretty good choir and a big bonfire at the lake. Apparently very successful because no witches sighted.
Thanks for showing that clip draclvr. That explains all. Apparently the witches got scared away as intended, but I never knew they flew to Germany instead. Witches never dance like that over here. At least not in public.



Happy first of May GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Trivia at CVI tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone. We haven't seen any hummingbirds since our last sighting... they must have been traveling. Wonderful to hear Steph continues to improve. Send that rain down here Draclvr. Glad to hear you got your walk in Gerry.

Time for another cup of WADDB and bagel.

Happy May Day everyone ... whew, time is flying!

Good Thursday morning! First morning without a thunderstorm in nearly a week. But very chilly - sweatshirt weather on May 1!

Heading in town to make some changes at the bank for our Trusts that the lawyer suggested. Since we are kind of a his, hers and ours situation, we wanted to get everything in a Trust. He has part ownership in a family farm here and I inherited 80 acres of farmland up in Iowa, so we brought all that into the Trust too.

Bowling is over, so NOW what do I do on Thursday nights!

Drac ... Thursday night at the movies sounds like an interesting idea

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark brew is ready!

Draclvr your thunderstorms have arrived here...I woke to thunder and heavy rain this morning. It is expected to end before dawn.

Have a Happy day everyone!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. We are going to a fireless fire pit with friends this evening. We are on a burn ban, but still want to get together. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

T.G.I.F. good morning everyone. Groceries and errands for me today. But first I'll enjoy a cup of WADDB with bagels.

Have a wonderful day

Good Friday morning! Sweatshirt weather again here. Hubby would like to mow the grass, but thunderstorms will be moving in in about 2 hours and it takes about 3 hours to mow. Hope he can get to it tomorrow or we'll have to bale it! All this rain has made things grow, grow, grow - including the weeds.

A fireless firepit get-together sounds like it will be just as much fun as one WITH a fire, Connie!

Date night tonight - on of the Mexican restaurants in town sounds good to me.

It's a lovely morning here. I'm off to Pilates and then a walk.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

It is going to be a rainy weekend here with some severe storms expected to pop up...more rain for Monday and Tuesday too....hope to walk before it starts today.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Gerry

Good morning everyone!

A pleasantly sunny day. 14 Celsius, still no mosquitos or bugs. Mr Bird and his friends are singing and flying around.

WADDB tastes great. Emergency use knäckebröd available in the Break Room.

Happy Saturday GameBoomers!

Good morning Boomers. Have a great day!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Trivia at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Saturday morning! Overcast, but at least it isn't cold. Supposed to get MORE rain... yeesh, enough already.

Need to get one of my shepherd's hooks up. I have Baltimore Orioles this year and I have so many hummingbirds now that I need all the hooks for their feeders. The Orioles are so pretty with their orange and black feathers.

Good afternoon everyone; well, my house is a petri dish of germs, hubby & myself have full blown flu, I didn't think the flu was around in the spring. It's going up to 82F today which is wonderful for Edmonton this time of the year. Stay safe & healthy everyone.

Oh, how awful, Judith! Unfortunately, the flu is around all year round. It's just worse in the cold months when people are indoors more. Did you get the flu shot?

Good evening everyone! Get well soon Judith. Not sure we'll have any hummers this year Draclvr... Thanks for the WADDB and bagels this morning Gerry and Connie. Life has kept me very busy today!

Have a wonderful evening and enjoy the weekend.

I hope you get well again very soon judith !!

Get well soon Judith.....
