COLD DARK ROOM

[jeff kushner]

I would have chucked the root so good for you Mark, that's gorgeous!

So we go to my granddaughters 13th birthday yesterday and because my daughter wants her Hdcp husband Doug to try them out, we take one of the foldable ebikes.

We get there and after a while I'm talking with my son who of course is in attendance. "Dad, Mom isn't really going to get on that bike is she? Kerry knows better, right?"

We look out towards the road where Kerry is showing Peg the ebikes.

This is a screenshot of the vid. In front of the car, Kerry is showing Peg the controls. It was for naught. Thank God I ended the vid before she took off. She didn't make it 2 feet and fell. Bleeding little finger was the cost.

Was Kerry done? Oh no, I have a son in law with cerable paulsy ....yup, Doug went out to try them. He got going alright and made several times around the block. Unfortunately he didn't say he needed help as he rolled to a stop 3 feet from me. He couldn't get his feet down in time and I watched him fall over. He cut his calf. I kinda felt like a D but I don't humiliate handicapped folks by helping them when they aren't asking for help.

At that point I suggested that Kerry put the bike away as a 20% casulty rate of attendees is not sustainable....lol

Had a good time at the ballgame. Tigers were leading the whole game. In the ninth inning, the Tigers pitcher gave up a 3 run homerun. Tigers lost 3 to 2.😫😫
Will post a few pictures tomorrow.

Is that hibiscus the type where the flower is 9" to 12" in diameter?

Yes, supposedly. I still have this one in a medium sized pot so i can ensure water & shade/sun. I see another bloom this morning.

We did some pickling of the crops that we manage to keep growing. Cucumbers, onions & peppers. Decided to not grow tomatoes this year.

I love pickled cukes! My husband made them all the time.

I like doing chopped cukes too. Fresh with slivered onions and chopped tomatoes. All with a hot vinegar dressing. Especially in the growing season.😋

It is horrible what we are doing to this planet in all aspects. I try not to get myself all stressed out about where this world is headed. But it's hard not to worry what this world will be for generations to come.

I get very angry and wound up about people who just don't seem to care. Sometimes it feels like those of us who do are fighting a losing battle and I get very down in the dumps.

 

[Lyn W]

No worries for are house. We are still in Michigan. If we were to get hit by a hurricane. Since we are not home. My brother would come over and close all the shutters for us. We have the accordian type shutters. So it is easy and quick to button up the house.

I hope the house is safe. Is Opo indoors?

Good afternoon/evening all.
It's been a grey and sometimes drizzly day today but so warm. It felt like we needed a good thunderstorm. Lola didn't venture out at all.
At the moment it's pouring down but no thunder. I hope my hedgehogs are sheltering somewhere safe.
I have a posh new hedgehog house for one of the lucky torts, maybe two of them but they don't usually share nests. It's called a Hogilo. I do have an old one I'm doing some repairs on in case one of the other two decide to move in.
I hope you're all having a good Monday, but mine is almost at an end so I'll bid you nos da for now. Take care.

I hope all are ok now, sounds like no one is safe when you and Kerry are around! 🤕😀
