COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Just plant lots of everything. Thats my trick. Annuals, perennials, water plants, shrubs, and tons and tons of seeds. SOMETHING will work!

This year....sunflowers & luffas & zinnias & water garden worked. Of course, in August we had 8 inches of rain! Being retired helps as well did COVID. Lots of extra time at home.

Mmm. I think I will try your trick.

Where is the ice cream?

I ate it all. I needed it. Really I did.

 

[CarolM]

Is it REALLY too much to ask for a smart phone to display in 24-hour time?

Well it isn't very smart if it cannot do that.

'tidgey' ?
-2.

Phones with spell check are such a problem and forget saying it to something that can't speak English. I wear glasses ? and sorry so. I guess it's not Tidgy's Dad's fault. It was the other guys.?

 

[CarolM]

No. On crumpets silly

Oohhhh. I was wondering about you for a moment there.

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

I don't lie. Truly I don't. Now that you believe me, tell me your secret. Come on you know you want to!

Sorry, but I have to pass on that offer. ?

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

-2.

I should just shut my big mouth ?

 

[Golden Greek Tortoise 567]

I ate it all. I needed it. Really I did.

Next time you find some, we can share. ?

 

[CarolM]

The calories do not count if you eat them before 2pm

Ooohhh. That is good news.

 

[CarolM]

In what time zone?

Hopefully all the time zones. Then you can eat them whenever you want to. Because it is always before 2pm somewhere. ?

 

[CarolM]

It really doesn't matter because it is always before 2pm

That's what I said.

 

[CarolM]

First thing I thought of was;

Now why did i know that was going to happen. It is always the ones that look harmless.

 

[CarolM]

Sooooo, it’s not hot. But it is hazy, overcast, misty, cloudy and slightly drizzling. Much more rain to follow this afternoon & tomorrow. Hot - no; yucky - yes.

ok. Back to clotted cream, freshly-baked scones, Yorkshire tea, and some lemon curd. Maybe a Harrogate-based Bettys Fat Rascal too. Anyone a Thornton’s Taffy fan? No?

Ok, a few wedges pls x https://www.google.com/search?q=wensleydale+cheese+with+apricots&client=safari&hl=en-us&sxsrf=ALeKk02kQQ3gj3EX7-Y1YqEQkjq0v1NydA:1599670806084&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=xf-TxWQ-N4sEjM%2CTr0K0wGDbB0o8M%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTW5BuRl9IQXNj29esSiAsoTvnOhg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjzsp2RxtzrAhW_lHIEHUffCE0Q9QF6BAgMEAM&biw=1261&bih=813&dpr=2#imgrc=xf-TxWQ-N4sEjM

I like the lemon curd idea. Yummy. I wonder how it would taste on scones?

I think most places are like this. Hot/cold, wet/dry, humid/not. One day it’s hot, then cold...Few places can compare to the extremes that Colorado & Wyoming are experiencing these days. 102 one day, then snowfall.

Interesting because of the mountains there. It's weird that my back yard gets temperatures of 129 in the summer but the records only show 90. I believe the reading from my temp device because it's unbearable until the sun passes to the front of our home. I also have the WiFi device in a protective place near the ground. I think it's because of these days also.

 

[CarolM]

Yes you can ... ?
1- coffee & 2 sweet n lows. Please...
2- fix my dam phone. The words I write are not the words that show up on the screen?? ?
3- find “Carona” and kick her butt. (Siri’s too!!)
4- stop the California fires and save Maggie.
5- ?
6- I have asked too much from my friend. In order to reciprocate (Siri got it right!!?)
Have some sweeties!!!!
And FINALLY..... Guess my god d*m mission!!!!!! ?

I can't help it if it is mission impossible! And just by the way so is your list. ?

 

[CarolM]

Omg!!!! The cuteness! I can’t stand it!!!
Aaaahhhhhh! .....
I want to eat it!! ???
Wait.... no.... I didn’t say that....?

No I hope you did not!

 

[CarolM]

hey.... that’s all the Mexican whistle I could find... Siri got an attitude..?

She certainly does.

 

[CarolM]

For some reason I just got really tired and slept for 11 hours. Weird but it was good sleep so I must have needed it. It might be that fall is setting in. Our weather men here blow it off by saying that's Ohio. Give it a minute it'll change.?

I love sleeping.

 

[CarolM]

Trophies? I didn't know there were trophies. How about prizes I want some of the pastries I'm looking at. MMMMM did the wool spider bring them? Is she (him) as hungry as I am? I'm still in my universe and we do not have such wonderful delights as those.

What universe is that. ?

 

[CarolM]

Where’s Ray?

Here are some freshly picked Hardy Chicago figs I picked this morning as it started to rain. Too much rain...and the figs would literally explode.

Now Bring Us Some Sticky Pudding
