Happy Sunday all.

Hot, yucky, drizzling now & humid, BUT we did get some garden chores accomplished.

Picked up a few logs off the road the other day. Cut them up into chunks, sawed in half, working on a bowl or two.

Temps are back up in the 90's here but it's not humid so it doesn't really bother me like that. I bet it will be soon though when the storms come rolling through thanks to the hurricane. Are you going to leave some bark on it? That would make a neat looking bowl for chips or anything if you do.?

Haha

I’m horrible about it!
I promise I'm telling the truth about this ? I love going barefoot. The bottoms of my feet are so tough that I've had bees try to sting me. They lose their stinger for nothing. Sorry but I have to laugh if they try. Between my toes is another story. Bee has the last laugh then.

I really hate to ask this buuuuttt….
Could someone send me the link on
“ how to make Toms outdoor night box?
4’ x 4’ or any of them?
I had a huge hurricane here in NJ yesterday and it completely flooded my torts shed.
It’s ruined..
I was trying to remember how he built them from scratch.
There were step by step blue prints for them but every time I look for it either the pictures are removed or it shows me something else?
Thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH in advance!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️?????❤️❤️❤️❤️

And yes… we had water in the basement and EVEN THE ATTIC this time!
It leaked onto one of my ceiling tiles in the bedroom.. ??
But hey, we survived.
Nothing like poor Tennessee or California or any of the other places that have had such WORSE problems…
My heart goes out to you ALL!
If you can live through those things…
You can do anything in my book.
Wishing you all safe and healthy days ahead….
❤️??❤️

Oh nooooooooooo! I'm so sorry. I had no idea you were going to be hit. I just wasn't thinking. So little is getting reported about things going on around the country. Do you have power??

Good morning/afternoon all (it's 5.30 pm here)
We've had a sunny day so Lola has been out in the garden for most of it making the most of the sun.
I've painted my window ledge and weeded the front of the house although I spent quite a lot of the time chatting with passing neighbours I haven't seen for ages, so it took me a lot longer than it should have, but good to catch up with local news :).
My evening is going to spent ironing because it was a great day for drying the washing outside and I want to get it out of the way.
I hope you're all having a good Tuesday and drying out OK if you were affected by the storms.
See you later.
