Must be the diet version

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9h

I just made some toast... both slices I pulled out of the bag had big air holes in the middle. I'd show them to you but I've already eaten them.

What a difference a day makes

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Jun

Yesterday they were just buds. Today, they are these lovely day lilies. And tomorrow, they'll probably be all closed up. They certainly live up to their name. And yes, they ARE day lilies, not tiger lilies. Tiger lilies have dark...

Off to take a quick bath

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 27 Jun

And put on some nice, clean, day clothes. It's been so hot and humid this week that I've just been wearing the same T-shirt nightie... loose and breathable and soaks up the sweat.

Yay! It's raining!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 25 Jun

Never thought I'd be glad to see the rain again after all the rain we've had this spring but after the last few super hot days temps just may cool off a bit. It's 26°C/79°F... I could take a bar of soap out there and have a nice...

Boy! Am I wiped!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 22 Jun

And it has nothing to do with the high heat dome we're enjoying... 33°C/92°F, predicted to last until 8pm Wednesday. I spent three days in Hamilton, trying to tame Juanita's jungle. I had a look at it Thursday and said "Nope! I...

Just had a shower

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 18 Jun

A cold shower. A cold, unexpected shower... I was in my backyard tending to a flower bed when the sky started grumbling, and I said to it, "Please let me finish this bit before you open up." But it didn't heed my request. I...

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 15 Jun

Watered the garden and house plants, laundry is in the machine, the sun is shining, nice musicon the radio, kettle is boiled... Maybe I'll make some rhubarb/strawberry jam...

Just heard

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 11 Jun

Radio pronouncer guy said that Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys, died. He was 82. Details aren't available but he had been under a court conservatorship to oversee his personal and medical affairs since May 2024.

Ah yes, that's better

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 5 Jun

The brain fog started to roll in when I was here earlier today, so I had to lie down (the better for it to roll on out again). And now that I'm up again, it looks as if the sun is trying to break out from under the clouds. The...

Ever pull an elephant out of your nose?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 5 Jun

Yeah, me neither. But my nose is itchy, but on the inside. So while it may look like I'm picking it, I'm actually just scratching it. My father used to say that an itchy nose means you're gonna kiss a fool, but Fool hasn't...

What's with the sun this morning?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 3 Jun

It's supposed to be sunny today but when I look out my window, I see a bright red ball in the sky. There are no clouds obscuring it but the sky isn't blue, looks overcast even. There are no splashes of sunlight on the ground, no...

I just found out

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 21 May

Today is International Tea Day! And I just finished a cuppa. There's nothing like a nice hot cup of tea to make things better, especially if it's accompanied by sympathy. In British novels, people are always being...

I'm not really ignoring you

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 21 May

I just haven't been feeling very sociable and my eyes are bothering me, plus it's raining. I always feel better when the sun is shining warmly. I have to go lie down now and keep my eyes closed.

2 for 1 eyeglasses

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 19 May

And some places will even force you to buy 3 pairs for the same price. Which was fine when I was in the movies and wanted to change my look, but now that I'm old and used to wearing the one pair all the time, I don't see the...

Socks

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 19 May

They must hold some wild parties in their drawer when I'm not looking. No matter how many times I've rearranged the socks into nice, neat piles, everything properly matched, when I go into the drawer to find a particular pair,...

Just another senior's moment

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 10 May

I was using my computer last night and had the radio on. There was something on fb that I wanted to hear the audio of. So I kept trying to turn off the station's audio on my computer but it kept playing... It was the clock radio...

Back from the sauna

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 7 May

Not really. I just had a bath but the water was much too hot. I'll have to adjust the water heater now that it's warmer weather. I have it set a little higher in the winter. I can never get the water temp just right: it's either...

So much for that

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49956) • St. Catharines, Ontario 1 May

Today started out cloudy and not exactly warm but warm enough to get me out there to do a bit more in my garden. I planted some corn seeds I sprouted in a bakery box, then put a bit of order in the last flower bed in the backyard....
