Good Sunday morning. I think I have recovered from yesterday. Yes, it reached 97 degrees F. And for some reason, we had a huge crowd down at Longmeadow for the Wagon Day. I would have thought people would stay home in their AC! I'm guessing at least 150 people ventured out. The brace on my knee helped enormously and I didn't have any trouble all day even though I clocked just over 3 miles of walking. But I was a tired puppy!

Then they called to about 7:00 to see if I could do the night closing as the caretaker who lives there wrenched his back. So at 9, I headed back down! It was a mere 90 degreees at 9:00! But I only had 3 older guys and Bubbles the Zebu to feed. Because it's so hot I did have to carry water to several horses in the older barns without automatic waterers. I slept late this morning!

Think I'll take the day off!

Happy Sunday to you all!

You definitely deserve the day off Draclvr

Draclvr, that was a long day! No wonder you slept well.

I woke up to rain this morning. We really need it. It isn't a huge downpour, but it's obviously been going on all night because the water level in my pond has gone up. And it's cold! I can't leave the door open. I guess summer is pretty much over.

Draclvr, it's time to put your feet up & maybe let hubby serve you a nice cold drink.

hagatha; you can send some of that rain our way please, it's 82F again today.

Have a great day everyone & stay safe out there.

Tonight I made a Papaya and Coconut Chicken Salad. Not bad.

Happy Monday Gameboomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Drac, Birthday Cupcakes in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Monday morning! Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone! Don't know how I feel about 78 though!

And thank you for the chocolate birthday cake, Gerry! But I will leave it for everyone else to enjoy along with their WADDB. Somehow I was born without the chocolate gene!

Oooo... a mere 93 degrees today. And like this every day until MAYBE Friday. Blech.

Gale force winds here, with the added bonus of torrential downpours. Both day AND night

Happy Birthday, Draclvr. Remember; getting old is better than the alternative.

Oldbroad, that chicken coconut salad looks really nice. I might try that.

I think I've finally found a cat sitter so I can do some travelling before I'm too old. She comes recommended by my veterinarian, the vet tech who does Willow's claws, and my Pilates instructor. I'm hoping to do a trip next year with a dear friend who has been battling cancer for years.

Yes! Oldbroad, forgot to tell you, I have bookmarked that salad. Sounds really good.

Perfect that you have found a cat sitter! Do that traveling before you can't!

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start your day! Draclvr you are still young wait till you get to be my age in 4 years!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Age is just a number, that's what I keep telling myself. Some how my body isn't listening. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

My body isn’t listening either, Connie 😱 Shucks !!

Good morning everyone. Stay safe Mad and feel free to send some of the rain this way. I'll eat your piece of chocolate cake Draclvr...no problem! Glad you found a sitter Hagatha. Time for a cup of WADDB and bagels to kick start my morning and then I think I'm off for a grocery shop this morning. Take care everyone and have a wonderful day.

Good Tuesday morning. Yes, I took my body aside and had a word. It didn't listen either!

Ooo.. a mere 90 degrees F today. I've had to start watering the perennial beds... I had shrubs that were dying. I have some huge arborvitaes which I'm going to have to take a soaker hose to also. They need a lot of water and I don't want them going into winter thirsty.

I still put out a quart of hummingbird food every couple of days. What I have now are the travelers on their way through heading south for the migration.

Good Afternoon.


I just got back from an appointment with a physiotherapist clutching two pages of exercises for my back and right shoulder. In my head I'm still 40 years old. Then I get out of bed and reality hits.

I sure know that feeling, hagatha! I reach for that other me all the time but I just can't get her out.

I hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday!
