COLD DARK ROOM

[Maggie3fan]

Evil woman...here's my sis and new grandson...looking at her cactus...

I drove for this company...

My sister's Misty...lol...I wonder if I was 'really' taking a picture of the dog...

Before I started the trip I filled my car with premium from the Shell station I use in Corvallis...I have a 13 gallon tank and was STUNNED when the bill was $51!!! In freakin Corvallis...then we left Oregon and arrived in the land of $5 a gallon regular! Omg! $7.35 for premium...I drive a high compression hot rod engine and a little regular won't hurt the engine...but it sure hurt us, we spent all our money in gas to just get there...no burgers, or those gas station hot dogs been on that spit all day that I love... no road trip food...couldn't see Mt Shasta for the wind, rain, clouds... did I say wind? knocking over big trucks and pushing the Squirrel around...omg!
Smokey went...he likes Y's house......


It was fun...

Yes I've been wondering about you. Glad to see you're feeling a bit better. Linda and CarolM too are Mia. I miss both. I haven't had the procedure yet so we'll see ?. I've been putting it off but now the sooner the better I guess ??

I sent Linda a PM on the weekend, just to let her know we are thinking about and missing her but no response yet.

Good morning all.
It's a wet day today , but dry and mild enough to get outside in between showers .
My parcel didn't arrive yesterday so having to wait in again . It would be quicker to grow my own grass for Lola!!
Never mind gives me a chance to go through some old paperwork.

My nephew popped in and took this picture of Lola surveying his kingdom from his doorstep.

That last picture is my saguaro cactus. My husband bought it at a little road side stand in the Mojave desert when he was on a motorcycle road trip. It was either a tiny plant in a 1" pot or a little package of saguaro seeds (it was over 40 years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be)

Nice shot! Off to the Market store for some greens, a pint, and then back home by tea time. ?

Whew, it’s almost hot here today. Sun has been up, theres a blue sky, leaves falling. We are power washing the floor boards on our deck. Hope we have a few more 70 degree days so I can put down a nice coat of deck sealer. (This is the deck we replaced last year). The pressure treated wood is cured enough now to take a good sealant before Winter.

Happy Monday all.

I love how they get stuck halfway through something to stop and think about it for awhile ?

Temps are on the rise here again too for few days , higher than normal for time of year but not anywhere near hot.
Our clocks go back on Sunday so BST ends and we're back to GMT - it will be dark before 6 next week.

Lola stayed there for over an hour watching the world go by.

It's fantastic. Will it be affected by the road works when they starts or is it in safe spot?

Ours will go back in November and for once I'm looking forward to it. Instead of sleeping in an hour (which throws my whole day off) I'll be getting up at my regular time.

They have special instructions under the pain of death to make sure no harm comes to that cactus. The City engineer even made a special note about it on the construction drawing.

Ive always loved cactus ever since a trip “out West” when I was a kid..

A shame about the many cactus uprooted in our desert Southwest

Why is everyone so keen on being tortured twice a year with time change? It disrupts my sleep, my appetite, what's left of my sanity, my animals,....

LOL!! "HIS" ghetto pen. . . from "HER" doorstep!

I get so confused...!
