Good morning everyone.

Finally some rain. I don't know how much, but everything is wet this morning. It's sunny now so I guess we're back to dry weather again, but hopefully there was enough to slow the fires here on the Island.

I was going to go for a pub lunch today with a friend but she's ill, so maybe I'll go out myself, do some shopping, maybe a walk. I have yet to power wash the walkways and the windows, and I do need to get that done before the Stage 3 water restrictions kick in. The worst is done, though, The concrete that's mostly in shade was black.

Nothing looks better than freshly power washed concrete! Mine in the back where there is a lot of shade was just awful. Now it looks brand new.

I used a lower PSI because it has a wider angle but for the remaining black patches I'll use the highest level. I can actually use my mini-handheld power washer for the walkways. It does a good job but the battery only lasts for about half an hour. It's for the areas where there is no power outlet.

Happy Saturday everybody!

Groceries are put away. Now if I only felt like cooking.

It is too hot for me today - in the low 80's.

I hope the benefit goes well, Connie.

A slow rainy day here today.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room.The benefit for Laurie went well. We raised over eighteen hundred dollars. Grocery shopping is on the agenda today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone!

Instant coffee and knäckebröd available in the break room.

And for those celebrating Norway's national day there is some syltetöj for the knäckebröd.

Good Sunday morning. Fogfighter, being about half Norwegian, I thank you for the syltetoj to sweeten up the knackebrod to celetrate Norwegian Independence Day!

Very toasty day ahead nearing 90 degrees F. Although we set up the sprinkler scarecrow, I lost two tomato plants to the deer. We got about half an inch of rain yesterday, so I will have to wait a couple of days to get in there and plant new ones. One tried to get under the electric wire hubby set up around the early crops. I think he got a bit of a "shock!" I am eating the most wonderful butter crunch lettuce from there. And crunchy fresh radishes are my late night snack when I'm up reading!

Good morning everyone.

There's not a cloud in the sky. I'm going to wash the front of the house which is still covered in pollen. The soffits and fascia and roof will have to be done professionally, though. I notice that there are little trees in my gutters!
