Thank you, Ana.

Judith, I just read about your friend and I am so very sorry to hear that she has passed. My heart goes out to you and to her family and friends.

Judith, I am so sorry about your friend. My thoughts are with you.

My sincere condolences Judith. Losing a friend is so hard

Sorry for your loss Judith, prayers and positive thoughts sent your way.

Good Morning everyone. Wide awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Judith I am so sorry for your loss. As we get old losing someone we love and care about happens too often. Hagatha are you feeling better today? It looks like we all are getting some awful hot weather this week.

Hope you all can stay cool in doors...

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Judith, hugs and prayers for you and your friend's family. Hagatha, I hope you are feeling better. We had a monsoon go through here yesterday afternoon. The thunder and lightning were horrific. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Oh, Judith, I am so sorry to hear this. Peace to you and her family.

Just hot here... nothing more to say. The young man with the young back is one his way over to spread some mulch for me.

Good morning everyone.

It's going to be another hot one here, too, although our hot is pretty tame compared with some of the temperatures I've been reading about elsewhere. The worst of it is the asthma flare-up I get when it's hot. I had to use my emergency puffer a few times yesterday.

I'm off to yoga later in the morning then and pick up something for dinner, and then home for the afternoon to sit outside with a cat or two and watch the birds. The crocosmia around the water feature has bloomed and there are hummingbirds darting around. The garden's full of butterflies, too. I still need to get a large plant to anchor the pond landscaping, though. I might have to make a trip up to the large nursery outside of Courtenay/Comox for that.

Thank you everyone for your kind words about the death of my best friend.

Try to stay cool everyone.

Love the new room. Enjoy your evening everyone.

Prayers heading up for your bestie judith.

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

We are under a severe heat warning today and it is expected to last thru Saturday evening...it is going to feel like well over a 100 degrees for the next few days...horribly hot and humid. It is already 75 degrees outdoors and the sun won't rise for another couple hours!

Hope you all can stay cool today!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. We're having a BBQ on the 4th, about 20 friends. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone,

It's raining! Apparently we may be in for a couple of days of it.

I'm still feeling a bit off and might have to miss my dance class today. I will have to venture into to town to pick up my asthma inhalers, though. My asthma has been very bad for the last couple of weeks. What with that and the arthritis pain I'm feeling just a bit old.

Judith, my thoughts are still with you.

Good morning Boomers. BBQ sounds great connie.

Good Thursday afternoon. Did some work in the garden this morning before it gets so stinking hot!

Laundry today. Not sure what we're doing this weekend. My preference is to stay home and BBQ here with the Germans!

95 Degrees here. Even the squirrels are hiding in the shade.

Space Quest, my brother was telling me last night how a couple of the outdoor cats were laying under the bush outside his window, and that at one time, a squirrel was also stretched out under there keeping cool. The cats are not unusual because my brother feeds them through that window, but he doesn't feed the squirrels.

Have a nice Thursday everyone!

good afternoon everyone. I was wondering if any of you have fruit trees and have a problem with squirrels eating your fruit - and if so, what do you do? I have a very small cherry tree that I have been guarding to the best of my ability but those sneaky squirrels can climb it and every limb that is strong enough for them to climb on, they eat my cherries! My yelling at them doesn't seem to faze them. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to keep them from climbing my tree! oh, and I have a big PVC pipe around the pole that goes up to my bird feeder, and those stinkers figured out how to climb that and eat the bird food. I think squirrels might be smarter than we ever thought.

I bet those squirrels feel very smart while they watch you yelling up at them, mbday

Love the squirrel story old broad.

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

It is going to be another extremely hot day today...it is already 80 degrees and it's only 2:30am! We have another severe heat warning for today. I am thankful I have air conditioning.

Hope you all have a cool start to your day and enjoy the July 4th holiday weekend those of you celebrating!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. A manicure and grocery shopping are on the agenda today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone!

16 Celsius and cloudy. Yesterday rain.

The waddb & ddb is great for starting the day.

Happy weekend Gameboomers. Must be a super-weekend for the Americans

Good Friday morning. Extremely toasty again today. After picking a bunch of cucumbers yesterday, I did jump in the pool - the water is finally warm enough for me! We have been sitting out on the pool deck having a beer with the Germans in the evenings and it's actually been pretty nice out there after the heat of the day.

mbday, the only time I didn't have problems with squirrels was when we had a dog! They always kept the yard free from squirrels. You could always try one of those sprinkler scarecrows that will spray the critters with water if they come near the tree. You just hook it to a hose and it is motion activated. It runs on a 9 volt battery. Yard Enforcer
