Do storms scare Arial? I’d guess horses don’t like them much, but she’s safe in a barn. Do instincts override domestication in storms?
I hope everyone stays as dry as they want/need to.
No rain here but it got up to 86F. My lemon tree is so happy, I think it grew a dozen leaves since I put it out this morning. We are supposed to get a thunderboomers tomorrow so maybe it will get some rain as well. That would be nice.
The USPS thanks you for helping to keep them in business. I am not as loyal, my last package was delivered by UPS because they would do it for less money.
I read forward to your toe mishap, are you in a bleeding contest with my husband? He thought he should change the oil in his bike and stabbed himself with a screwdriver. I’ve learned that concrete is porous and peroxide doesn’t work well to get the blood trail up. Its just a little bitty cut too, the sort of thing that would make me say “darn”, hold a tissue over it for a minute and then go about my day.
Perfect! I could hear his voice while reading your words 
I agree with your mother, she is a very smart woman!
I screwed that part up too.
For a while my Dad had a steady supply of strong young dudes hanging around (four teenaged daughters will do that to a home) and he took full advantage of them. It used to tick me off so bad, I’d ask my bf of the week what the plans were for the weekend and over half of the time, they had plans to help Dad with stuff.
Linky please. I want him in better shoes, he’s complaining that his shoe makes his foot hurt when its swollen and I’m getting tired of listening to him when I know there are options.
I’m proud of you. I know it took a lot of effort to click the enter key but you did it and learned that you really are not alone.
I hope its good enough for your mother, I know how important it is to buy the perfect gift when needed. I also hope you enjoy it, but wonder if you will even be able to smell it over the pepperoni?
Back in my floozy days, I had my own signature perfume - rose oil mixed with a little 60 weight. It worked great to attract the “right” sort of men (bikers and gearheads).
Of course they aren’t, sleeping with stuff in pockets would be super uncomfortable so the makers won’t waste the money putting pockets in PJs. Pockets are for comfortable, flowing work friendly pants cause people need pocket stuff then.
As to my day, I had a nice drive to St. Albans but all drives in WV are beautiful. Except the turnpike, then you are going to fast to see anything.
I had a patty melt at a diner next to the thread shop and didn’t feel guilty about Hubs eating a baked chicken breast for lunch. I was able to exchange my threads for something I like better and am planning an exciting day of frogging my canvas in the morning.
I went to a plant nursery and asked about milkweed. They don’t sell it but suggested a shop in Charleston. We discussed butterflies and plants for a bit then I got distracted by their tulips. I picked out a pot - 12 bucks - and asked if he took plastic.
He said he would have to go and fetch the card reader so I said I did have some cash. I guess fetching and powering up the card reader was a PITA because he sold me the tulips for 7 bucks instead.
I was mostly cashless in AZ, but would be sure to have cash when going to craft shows. I’m carrying more cash here because there are more than a few places in the hollers with really iffy internet connections. If starlink goes down, they can’t use their card readers.
Plus dispensaries still need cash but the ATMs here have a 3.50 charge that the ones in AZ didn’t have so I didn’t worry about cash for them.
I do have to be mindful as to how much I have and where I can get more. If I was buying something from a private party, I would expect them to want cash so would be sure I had it available.
What happened to your spirit of adventure? Baking shows are all about flower essences in wedding cakes yanno?
