Good Thursday morning. Nice start to the day, but heading back up to the low 80's this afternoon.

I agree with Judith - I love reading about Dude and Willow. I remember when you first got him - seems so long ago. I'd say WORSE than a couple of kids!

Made good progress in that big daylily bed yesterday. Dug up about 20 big plants which my friend is coming to get Saturday. Replanted six more big plants next to the foundation. Now I just have to find a home for about 15 more big plants. They are called Bela Lugosi and have a really pretty dark purple flower with a yellow throat.

Making a run in town for groceries and then it's league bowling tonight.

Good morning everyone.

It's a cool morning, but sunny. I have my dance class this afternoon, so I'll be reviewing the notes and practising.

I've had Dude for over 41/2 years, which is I/3 of his life. I always wonder if they remember anything of their old lives. It was clear when we adopted him that he had been loved, and it must have been terribly hard for his people to give him up. Apart from the occasional delinquency, he's a very sweet boy.

Good morning Boomers.

Good morning everyone. It is already too hot here today (for me).

I always wondered the same thing about cats, hagatha. I'm certain that they remember for awhile, but wonder if the memory fades after a certain amount of time, or if they just adjust.

Made it out of the house today with my brother. The sun just about blinded me. I always think maybe I'll go for a walk since I'm already dressed but never do. Today there was no way I would have. My little toe on one foot was killing me from the seam on my socks. I hate wearing clothes. I actually had to dust my shoes off and (if Mad sees this I know she'll just love it) there was a spider in one of them.

Enjoy your day all!

Oldbroad, I know that Willow remembered John for about six months. Every now and then she would go into his closet because his scent was very strong in there. I put on one of his sweaters at about the six month mark and she raised her head, looked straight into his room, and then I could see her realize he wasn't there any more. For the first three months she would put her face right up to mine and whimper.

I just don't understand people who believe that animals don't have emotions like we do.

Yes. Animals definitely harbour memories - of scents, especially 😍

And, oldbroad, if I found a spider in any of MY shoes I would throw a BIG fit !!!!
Agggghhhh ….

I'm not a fan of spiders. I probably would throw the shoes away.

I kind of thought Mad would be the one to say this!

Funny. I always take them back outside in the summer. In old house we lived it back in the 80's we had a couple of huge spiders in our bathroom. I used to throw flies at their webs.

At a kid's party years ago, Cimemazoo provided the entertainment and I was the one who, blindfolded, got to hold the tarantulas in my open hands. They're huge but weight nothing, and one of them was very beautiful, with a deep red centre.

I don't mindlessly hate ALL spiders as I know they do a good job in dealing with flies - which I absolutely DO hate.

But if either flies or spiders decide to come into my house then it's a different cup of tea entirely and they are signing their own death warrant !!

Good morning or good night everyone!

8 Celsius and a rising sun over here.
I'm sure there are spiders out there but none visible indoors yet.

Emergency use instant coffee available in the break room, in case of emergencies.

Happy Friday GameBoomers!

Good morning Fogfighter. Have a great Friday.

Good Morning everyone and Welcome to Friday! Wide Awake Double Dark brew is ready.

It will be a nice day for walking again today. I walked a couple times yesterday...several miles...I so enjoy the peace and quiet of the country for walking. It hasn't changed much here in the 57 years I lived in my neighborhood.

Have a Happy Friday!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. A little more yard work is on the agenda. There is more than a little, but I'm leaving the hard parts for the boys. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

TGIF good morning everyone. I am always catching the little critters and taking them back outside to release them. But leave the spiders to help me catch the flies. Groceries are on the schedule today. Might even get a little yard work done. Time for WADDB and Bagels.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Good Friday morning. Cooler this morning because we had a nice little thunder shower early this morning. When I was little, I was terrified of thunder, but now I love laying in bed listening to it.

I have about 15 more daylilies to dig up. I put a blast on my Facebook page with a picture of the blooms and got WAY more requests for plants than I have! Hope to get rid of all of them this weekend, so I can have hubby bring the big tractor around and lift up the creek rock retaining wall I built at least 20 years ago.

Just have to run in town for a haircut later. Need to get out and pick asparagus. I suspect there is at least another couple pounds out there!

Good morning everyone.

It's another lovely day. Good day for mowing the lawn. I'll put out the seat cushions today, too, since it will be warm enough to sit outside soon.

Dude discovered the cat flap last night after I locked him in for the night. It was suspiciously quiet at midnight and upon further investigation, I realized that the little jerk had finally cottoned on to the glorious freedom of an open flap. I had forgotten that I'd put it in the "open" position a couple of days ago. Now, if I could only teach him that he can come back in that way, we'll be all set. As things stand, however, I had to get up in the night and let him in around 2 am.

I am quite sore from the line dancing yesterday. There was some leaping about, which my old bones are not used to. Hopefully this will pass in time. I must say, I'm getting bored with the Pilates. I really only go for the company now.
