Well, I went out and ran the weedeater for a while, but the 'drizzle' drops kept getting bigger and bigger until I was actually getting wet! So I had to quit. It's not cold, just wet. So I guess I'll have to clean house. I've run one load of clothes through the washing machine, I've made my bed, I ran the weedeater. . . maybe I can just sit in my recliner now and veg.

Where the heck is everybody?

Sitting in the recliner sounds good! I thought it was awfully quiet for the past day or so... guess everyone is partying for the holiday weekend..

Well... this is what I was shooting for

I think a person could do something like that for a Russian...but form it to house a terra cotta plant saucer in it.(not to deep and easy to clean) I've been looking for an idea like that for a long time. Nice...also my sons, grandchildren, and I have made garden stones using the same concept.

Oh wow. Do you incubate the eggs or are you leaving them in the nest to hatch? And when they hatch what do you do with the babies?

I leave them but I don’t think they’re fertile. They are separated and when they were together a couple of years ago I think he was too immature.

And Memorial Day weekend in the US. It's to honor Vets or national heros that have died. Also kicks off our summer with cookouts, barbecue, swimming, and family get togethers. Also a day that people visit the graves of family members that have passed on to plant flowers and remember their missed family. That day is tomorrow. The last Monday of May.

My best Big Electronic Hug for everybody in the US. I hope that everyone has a beautiful day then.

Love it, I am presuming that it has a bit of a dip in it. I cannot see it from the pictures, either way though you did a fantastic job. Well done.

Aaahhh I see, I was wondering what you would do when the babies all hatched. Lol.

 

[CarolM]

Okay, that was a quick catch up. I am feeling quite down today for some reason........Must be a MONDAY.
Yayyyy for Lena and Sigh for me and anybody else who does not do so well with Mondays. I hope that everyone in the US are enjoying their holiday today.

Good mornooning all. It’s a public holiday here in the UK too.

Yesterday we had lovely weather until he evening when a shower appeared. I managed to avoid the ironing by spending the day in the garden. JoesDad cleaned the patio (a big job) and I cut the grass, did some weeding, repotted some plants and bought and planted out a Verbena bonariensis.

@EllieMay, the results of your hard work look amazing!

We spent the evening slumped in front of the tv for some reason

Today, I need to reseed some bare patches in the lawn. It may or may not work as everything is so dry and I am going to have to water the patches, but it is worth a try.

Good mornooning all. Sunday at home. JoesDad is threatening to get the pressure washer out and clean the patio. I may have to stop ignoring the ironing [emoji849]

Ironing! The ironing is still waiting? And here I am wondering why you decided to visit the in-laws.

 

[Kristoff]

Sprinkling here, so no yard work for me.

An act of God.

 

[Kristoff]

Good morning! I woke up early this morning but I was able to roll over and go back to sleep.... UNTIL 8am!!! It was AMAZING!!! Lol... sleep is such a precious gift to me. I think I’m going to try and build Toretto a pool today. I saw a post online of someone else’s. Would cost lest than $10 if I can do it. The hardest part is going to be undoing the old one but I don’t like it and he doesn’t either....

Heather, we need to talk. Toretto is not a turtle.

Good Luck with the reseeding. And hopefully you get some more evening showers then you don't have to worry about watering.

Vegging?

Good afternoon/morning all, hope everyone is having a happy and peaceful Sunday.
My shopping for the wedding quest continues, no luck in finding anything that makes me look a young supermodel yet - maybe I'm expecting too much
We've had some showers and it's quite chilly here - only about 60F but pretty normal for our Bank Holiday weekends!
Have a good day!!

Do your sisters also have a hard time picking a dress? Perfectionism must be in your jeans...

 

[Kristoff]

Tomorrow will have to be more yardwork for me because it keeps poring every day. Just enough to keep me from starting up the firepit and having the grandsons help. It's ok though because any day that works is the day I'll be getting it done. I can pay them and roast hotdogs for lunch on the right day. It'll be nice because they are young teens and enjoy making some spending money.

Are you paying them in rain checks?

 

[Kristoff]

It doesn't matter what clothes I wear I still have ash blonde hair and laugh lines. Sooo...

Sooo... anything "suits" you?

 

[Kristoff]

Well... this is what I was shooting for

This was the old one that I had to take up.

The tort in the background looks a little stiff...

Happy Monday, Carol! Nah, just kidding. Hang in there.

@EllieMay, great job! Never mind all my jokes. Looking forward to seeing Toretto self-soak in his own personal pool.
