    What's your Weather like today

    We are having the longest day of the year today, and it still does not even feel much like a normal summer here in north Alabama. We have had mostly cool days and lots of rain this year, and just a few hot days interspersed with the rain. It is close to July, and we have not been spending time...

    What's your Weather like today

    It is going to be almost 90 today, so hot and sunny. I am going to go outside and water the plants before it gets too hot. It looks like we might have rain coming by tomorrow morning.

    Last thing you've done when offline?

    I have been working outside in the yard as much as I can, before we get into the heat of summer. The squash seeds sprouted and I transplanted them near the red raspberries. They have room to grow and spread out and will also help keep the roots of the raspberries cooler this summer. I think I...

    America’s 250th Anniversary happening next month !

    On July Fourth, we here in the United States will celebrate our 250th anniversary of freedom . There are all kinds of national celebrations planned for this big event, and I think most of the states also have celebrations. This is one of our main holidays each year, so many people will be...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    You might be right, and I think that someone else mentioned some kind of a beetle. Actually, we are glad to have them gone ! No more pine needles all over, and with the area partially cleared, we get more light and sunshine into that part of the yard. I have been in the slow process of...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    The property next to us has some large pine trees on it, and every year, we have lots of pine needles covering that part of our yard, and the grass has a hard time growing. Then, last summer, some of the trees started dying and lost all the needles and were just enormous bare tree “skeletons”...

    How many forums are you active on?

    I am on two seniors forums, which I enjoy because we have good discussions and not just trivia threads, as well as a gardening forum, besides Discussion Headquarters. I am also on social media (facebook and Twitter/X) and I check those each day, too.

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    Those baby turkey are cute, @Joe Riley ! We have turkeys in north Idaho now, but they are not native there. Around the 90’s, wild turkey were brought in to north Idaho, and they survived and thrived, and now they are all over. I have no idea what the reason was for bringing the wild turkeys to...

    What animals have you seen recently?

    I don’t think that I have ever heard of a cowbird, @Nancy Hart . What do they look like and why are they called cowbirds ? I guess I will have to look on YouTube and see what they are and if I have ever seen one.

    Do you like to garden ?

    This is one that does not have a bottom, so it would have to have a liner to be used as a pond, but a black plastic liner would probably work fine, or even one of those blue plastic tarps, since that would add the blue color to the water. We are still in the early planning stages, so we have...

    Indian H-1B workers are taking over American jobs by the thousands !

    This is something that is just now really coming out in the news here in the United States. It is not just that we have a lot of these H-1B workers here taking American jobs, but they are now running American huge corporations, and they fire the American workers and hire Indian workers on the...

    What's your Weather like today

    It has been really nice weather all this week, no rain, which is good. We had about a month straight of almost rain every day ! I am looking at the forecast for the next ten days, and it shows hot weather, rain and thunderstorms every single day. It is nice right now, but we are supposed to...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    It looks like we are finally getting into summer weather. The pool is ready to swim in, but the water is still too cold to be comfortable. We are supposed to have temperature to almost 90F this next week, but the forecast shows rain and thunderstorms every day for the next 10 days, so no...

    What's bothering you right now?

    It is still fairly early morning, and the neighborhood roosters have been crowing since the break of dawn, a few hours ago. It started with just a few chickens , but now that we have so many Hispanics that have moved here during the Biden regime, it seems like they all have livestock of some...

    Last thing you ate

    Breakfast this morning was coffee with A2 milk, fiber cake and fresh strawberries. So delicious !

    What are you listening to right now?

    Unfortunately, what i am listening to is roosters crowing around the neighborhood. It seems like most of the Hispanics that moved here also wanted to raise chickens and lots of roosters, even though the city ordinance says roosters are not supposed to be allowed in the city limits.

    Last thing you've done when offline?

    Now that the weather is nice and sunny, we have been working outside in the yard again. I have been weedeating and planting a new small raised bed garden. It looks like more rain is in the forecast, so I need to get as much done before it starts raining again as I am able to do.

    Do you like to garden ?

    I got two raised bed containers from Walmart and Bobby put them together for me. I have one out in the front yard already. I did a lot of weeding yesterday, so I had a bunch of green stuff to use as filler in the container, and then we added some dirt on the top. It needs more dirt, so I will...
