Hello, Pond!
Happy 4th of July!!!
It’s hot here. We were in a heat advisory yesterday. Of course that’s the day that my mom’s AC went out. I did not know this until she came over at 7:30 in the evening. (I had the two local grandkids all day, so didn’t have a chance to call her.) She told me...
NOPE!!! Nope, nope, nope! Those boys would have been on their own! “Sorry, boys. You can’t come in until those things dry up and fall off your feet!” Leeches are one of the two creepy crawlies I can’t handle. Spiders are the other ones.
Hello, Pond!
Smoky on my lily pad today. I wish Canada would quit setting itself on fire. I wanted to take my kayak out today, but the smoke is thick enough that it bothers my throat if I’m out for long. It’s been warm today as well. In the high 80’s.
Not much going on in my neck of the woods...
Good Morning, Pond!
Paddling through while on my morning break. My student is on a 3-week vacation with the grandparents, so I’m doing my student’s job - working in the dish room, putting the clean dishes away as they dry. It’s a lot, but kind of a fun change of pace for a bit. In my student’s...
Good Morning, Pond!
Well, our blizzard fizzled. We got maybe 2” of snow, but first it rained so the roads are icy. It’s still windy, but down to 25-35 mph. Visibility has improved greatly from when I first got up this morning. I will confess to being a tiny bit disappointed.
Yep, you’re seeing that right. Record
highs today - kids running around in shorts, t-shirts and flip flops, forecasted high of 34 tomorrow, up to 7” of snow and possible wind gusts up to 55 mph, causing blizzard conditions.
ETA - now it’s saying we could have a thunderstorm tonight! Apparently...
Good Morning, Pond!
If the weather-guessers are right, we have a potential for 6-10” of snow Friday night into Saturday. I’d be OK with being snowed in for the day.
Good Evening!
Had the local grandkids for a sleepover last night. Their dad just left with them. Grandma’s exhausted! They were good, but the level of energy can be overwhelming! GS (8) says his favorite color is chartreuse. How many 8 year olds use that word in a sentence? I heard it several...
Good Morning Pond,
It’s a balmy 22 ABOVE zero today. If I’m doing the math right, that’s 39 degrees warmer than yesterday! You know the old saying. “If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes - it’ll change.”
Penny, I’m so happy for DH that he’s doing so much better!
Good Morning Pond,
School is 2 hours late this morning due to an “extreme cold warning”. The air temperature is -17, with a “feels like” temperature of -30. It was -17 yesterday when DH and I headed to the big town for a Costco run. (Our nearest Costco is just over 2 hours away.) The roads...
Good Morning, Pond!
I looked at my Murray McMurray catalog last night, pondering whether or not I want to order a dozen chicks or so. The cheapest ones available for smaller quantities are $6.50 each! 😮 Those are RIRs and New Hampshire Reds. The “fun” ones range from $9.00-$12.00 each. For...
