Morning everyone.
Had a nice visit from my NZ brother and his wife. He is about 6 years younger than me and I was quite shocked to see he appears to be more crippled in the back and knees than I am and walks with a hunch. A big change from when he visited a few years ago. He has also gone balder on top. I haven't lost any hair at all. Guess I am lucky having to pay a hairdresser every 6 - 8 weeks.
Rain has stopped briefly but is coming back apparently. Still water lying around and going stagnant. Ground is beyond saturated. Lots of badly damaged roads in the district and Council hasn't even completed repairs from the last flood a few weeks ago. I can forsee our rates rising in the future to compensate.
Giant plantation of marijuana discovered in giant green houses not far from me. Acres of the stuff. I was heading to town and wondered why 3 police vehicles in a row went flying past me with lights and sirens. I thought there must have been a major disaster somewhere.
Thursday, wheelie bin day. Collections have been disrupted due to the floods.
Have a great day all.

Ms. Boo show up this evening resting/napping her favor spot.

The last of the privacy fence frames are complete! (For now) WOOHOO! Got out there at 09:00, finished by 11:45. We were going to start with the metal panels, but decided to do them another day.... the temp got up to 88. Just too hot too quick. Probably finish the panels this weekend.

Tomorrow, I'm taking the wifey down to a nursery in town... they got a shipment of 'purple robe locust' trees. It was decided that one of those will replace the dead mimosa tree. We had 2 of the trees over at the old house and really liked them, especially when they bloom.

The rest of the agenda is to get the tree planted when we get back. Hopefully that will be all for the day..... I should be worn out by them.

Made some breakfast burritos for dinner, bowl of ice cream on the evening menu. Picked up a new flavor..... Tillamook , mountain huckleberry swirl.
I hope it's good.

Drew, have a safe uneventful trip!

BEF, heal fast!

Toppop, good luck with the procedure. Hope it goes as well as the first!

RNG, ---- awaiting your drone videos.....

Thomas, I bet you thought you worked hard BEFORE you retired....

Ken, hope you can salvage a few ash trees.

Jackfruit raw and BBQ jackfruit.
This is the first time I used the BBQ sauce recipe and it is a keeper. The main ingredient is dates the second is tomatoes and spices.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I hope these are maple trees sprouting. I got a bunch under the pretty tree, and I want to grow more. Need to find a good place to put them.

 

[rswyan]

55F with WU radar showing a rain shower in the area @ 22:00 ... had rain on and off throughout the day. Total since last midnight: 0.23" ... which is enough to keep things watered.

The Woman and I both slept past 10 AM this morning.

Hopper feeder filled first thing.

Phone company guy was out, with no result ... he called in the bucket truck ... same as last time. Got a call later, is supposedly fixed now: was bad underground wire in a cable vault down near the CO. If it is handled that would sure be nice.

Woman commented on how great the lawn is looking ...

Got inside plants and seedlings all watered.

Gathered up the leaves at the southwest corner of the house and took those up to the compost pile.

Pulled the weeds and maple seeds out of 5 of The Woman's dahlias, also fertilizer added and worked into the soil in the grow bags. Will finish that up on the rest of them tomorrow.

Spent the rest of the afternoon/evening up in the shop doing further clean up and working on the Kubota. Making some progress.

Forecast high temp for tomorrow now upgraded to 81F (from 78F), then followed by two days worth of 90's.

Will hopefully have to go pick up the parts for the Kubota tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

70 high of 85 today lots of clouds no rain

Prayers for all Our Country Ukrainian people

 

[wngsprd]

62 and was raining 2 hours ago. Gonna see 88 later, and then close to 100 this weekend.

Dogs and cats living together, oh my! Great pix. When we had cats along with dogs, they barely tolerated each other.

We had a great day at the river yesterday, water was clear, mountain laurels in full bloom, caught more fish than ever (largemouth, smallmouth, brim) paddling the kayak felt good, and had a great cookout.

 

[sodamo]

Good luck with surgery, Randy. Likely you’ll be done before I get back on.

Good luck with surgery Toppop

Another skin cancer removal for me tomorrow

 

[daugen]

good morning all
rainy morning in Milton DE
had a lovely flank steak dinner and strawberries drizzled with chocolate. These are my foodie
friends and they just love to cook out of bon appetite type recipes. Great for me...

5 plus hour drive to Washington NC this morning, hopefully will dry out before I leave.

Alien, Australian flooding making headline news here, hope you are ok.
hope you all have a great day

Good morning! The weather is boring. 70s to mid-high 90s, no rain, repeat every day. May is suppose to be our wettest month with an average of 5", so far we have had .7". Our best chance of rain is Sunday, 70% chance, when a Norther pushes in.

My BBQ Jackfruit has been marinating in the fridge all night it will be warmed up and served to the WFPG people of the garden Club today. There will also be big pot of beans, salad - with 5 homade salad dressings, baked potatoes, and one member is making a strawberry pizza for desert, all Vegan no oil, sugar and just a very small pinch of salt. This spring luncheon will be the first lunch meal of the entire garden club, a mix of catered BBQ (for the others) and the WFPB meal. So far the Garden club is the only club of about 50 clubs that offers a WFPB meal option, we are starting to make progress finally.

Yea, the Boo is back.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, low temp is 44 and the high going to 64°F. Wind
E 2 mph. 60% chance of showers. It is forecast to be wet until next Monday.

A town run is in the cards for today and that is about it.

Have a safe day all

Good luck Randy.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Hey Boo Boo, time for a pic-nic basket.

Good luck Randy.

Woke with a tickle cough, hope it’s just the morning crud.

Heard a Iittle rain around midnight. Got .98” overnight.

Tooth ok so far.

 

[PJSprog]

62°F and some spotty fog this morning, going up to 85°. More storms expected this afternoon. We may break a 120 year old record with tomorrow's forecast of 93°, then more storms and 80° for Saturday, and cloudy and 66° for a high on Sunday. The Spring roller coaster is not done with us yet.

Turned on the spigot on the well house to take fresh water to the chickens yesterday evening, and a large bumble bee came shooting out into the bucket. He hadn't managed to get out before the bucket filled, so I stuck a leaf in there for him to grab onto and pulled him out. Sure hope he doesn't sting me later for trying to drown him.

Good to hear from David (MFW).

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, rain and going up towards 80.
Got some mowing done, threw the belt twice, both times my fault. Hate crawling around on the ground putting the belt back on.
Got the pool decently clean and started adding salt to get the chemicals into the right numbers.

Good luck Toppop and Buppies

MFW - looks like a lot of progress, welcome back.

Stays safe and be well,

This little guy almost got me!
