But I cleaned the kitchen yesterday. Well, not the entire kitchen. I'd have to haul out the step ladder to clean the tops of the cupboards, and of course I didn't scrub the floor (did sweep it though).
The floor is whatever...

Friend picked me up at 9am and took me out to Short Hills Provincial Park to see Swayze Falls...
It was down to a mere trickle, even after all the rain that we had. Didn't look anything like it does in this photo taken by someone...

Various people keep telling me that I have soft skin...
I find it very perplexing. I don't think my skin is any softer than anyone else's. As I told today's speaker, "What did you expect, scales?"
Maybe it's because I have very...

And I hung it out to dry... no rain today! When it was dry I took it down and put it back in the basket and let it sit outside for the rest of the day.
When I brought it in, I used the fresh sheets to make up my bed. I saw what I...

How fast a garden will grow when you go away for a few days? When I left St Catharines on Saturday morning, it was raining and coolish and my garden seemed to be sleeping.
I come back Tuesday (after working all three days on a...

It was so jumbled I can't even tell it to you... everything kept changing.
I was looking for a blue crayon I thought I had, to give to a kid who only had a red one... only found a brown and a black...

I was sitting on my patio, having my tea, when I heard this strange sound...
No, it wasn't Frosty the Snowman.
It was five military helicopters heading south, in formation.
And when they noticed that my neighbor and I had seen...

The cause of all this extreme heat is the overuse of air conditioners!
I mean, you never hear of heat warnings in winter, when no one has their AC turned on.
So all y'all have to do is not use your ACs to get temperatures back to...

I walked to the Centre and didn't die.
I didn't check the temperature when I left but it was probably in the mid-20s C because at 6 in the morning it was already 21°C.
I gave away some raspberry plants, had breakfast and lunch, at...

There was a brief, gentle shower yesterday afternoon that brought the temperature down to 27°C from 32°C, but it soon climbed back up to 30°.
And then we got a thunderstorm this morning about 8am. Yahoo weather says it's 22°C/72°F...

Those of you who do Swagbucks, know they have a daily poll. Sometimes they ask really stupid questions, and often don't include "None of the above" as a valid answer.
Well, today's question was beyond the pale...

I managed a walk around my yard this morning to see what I needed to work on today. Then I went next door and "borrowed" a plank of discarded wood (their front step had rotted away in places and was replaced with a little concrete...

Peony blossom, that is. The other bush didn't produce any at all this year and in talking to the gal on the one side, hers didn't either. But on the other side, her's are looking lovely.
On the plus side, my irises (the yellow...

Seems as if half the internet is still sleeping. I click on one of my bookmarks and I get the little ball moving back and forth in its tag but it doesn't load. And every time I try to get on the 'Lot, my 'bank' keeps going down...

Before Horse asks again, no, I did not make the payout this time around either. Ever since we've had those interrupting ads imposed on us, I haven't made much $$ at all. Part of it I suppose is that I'm not much interested in...

I'm currently rereading Silverberg's Book of Skulls. At least, I think I'm rereading it, as it's from my own private library, but none of it seems familiar, not even the fact that each chapter is written in the first...

As I was sitting outside, reading, I caught a movement ahead on the grass. It was a bunny! I told it to go ahead and have all the clover it wanted but leave my garden alone. It nibbled a few clover blossoms, then hopped off to the...

Well, not the bus but the recycling truck. Luckily, the fellow saw me coming out the door and took the bin from my hands. I didn't have to go down the stairs, which is getting more and more difficult for me to do. They're nice...

Well, there's no old man here, snoring or otherwise, but it is raining (if not quite pouring). So, I won't be doing any gadening this morning, but at least it's good for the...
