I'm grateful it's raining

Xavier Bage @franxav (14600) • India 10 Jun

After days of sweltering heat the cooling rain is lovingly welcome. Even today, mid-day hours were quite hot. I had gone to the market enquiring about plumbing materials. I returned home as soon as I was done. At about three loud...

Mary Ellen Usually April and May in my region get loads of rain and then the rest of the year is pretty dry. During the summer the ground gets hard and dry. If theres any gardening to be done we better be ready to water it. I don't like the dry season,, but I don't...

I got these pretties today. The mandevilla plants will be going into my dinosaur planter. The flat of mixed flowers are all shade lovers. I will make up some baskets with them and set them by the playhouse. Right against it should...

We have had bands of heavy rain out there today. I think it will clear up later though Nothing exciting going on here although I think I am going to order a wet dry vac. I think it will make life easier. I do have a dishwasher...

Mary Ellen I have a pretty large family and have the grandkids at least a couple of times a wee and really need my dishwasher. I'd be a wreck having to wash all the dishes from a typical day.

First Sun To Go Meals Box?

Courtney Dutton @MommyOfEli2013 (90273) • Rupert, Idaho 9 Jun

I know the title sounds strange, but I'll explain. Ever since well Eli was in school, we'd take him to lunch in the park in the summer. It was provided by the school district for kids to get lunch during the week since they are...

Mary Ellen They do the same thing here. We lived out in the county until about 2 years ago and I would have to drive several miles to pick up their breakfast and lunches. Now we live in a small suburb and I was thinking I would probably have to drive to the school here...

Skedaddle

Amber @AmbiePam (121767) • United States 9 Jun

Someone was making a joke that “skedaddle” was an international word. Obviously, they were kidding. I hadn’t heard that one in awhile, and I’m wondering how many people know and use that word. It means go away. It’s like you see a...

Mary Ellen I actually use skidaddle pretty regularly but more as a joke then actually meaning them to go on. I use it with the grandkids, mostly and when my kids were younger i used it with them all the time too.

Toni @toniganzon (77470) • Philippines 7 Jun

A week ago, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines announced a 12 hour power outage for June 7th from 6am to 6pm. 12 hours is too long. Fortunately, we have gen set at the store and at home so we really didn't suffer...

Mary Ellen It seems like every single year that we have huge storms in the late spring, early summer and sometimes it can take days or even weeks to get your power back on. I can tolerate a day, but after that first day I gett irritable.

There was air!

Amber @AmbiePam (121767) • United States 8 Jun

This morning I had to go to the pharmacy by my dad’s house, so I went to see him. I had braced myself for the insufferable heat since he doesn’t turn on his air conditioner unless heat stroke is imminent. Once again, he can afford...

Mary Ellen If it goes above 80 my air conditioner comes on! Or maybe it doesn't even have to be 80 if it's muggy out. The mugginess is what bothers me. I live in Kentucky where humidity is high almost dailyl. I was raised in Utah where humidilty is almost non...

Where has the day gone?

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (85124) • Daytona Beach, Florida 4 Jun

I feel like today flew by. Not in a bad way, but in a productive, you didn't realize it kind of way. I've been working on my various apps, playing my games and the time just escaped me. I didn't even try, it just did. I made a...

Mary Ellen I think we've all had that happen where you're trying to figure out where the time went. A few days ago, in fact, I looked at my watch and was like OMG there's no way it's actually that late. The watch is a Samsung so I knew it had to be right, but I still...

Mary Ellen Prayers for results that everything is good. I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like you have a good support system though and that will help things if the results "aren't pretty." Good luck sweetie.

Do you think it would be appropriate to have Trump on a $250 bill?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127245) • United States 29 May

Mary Ellen Sounds yummy. I love banana bread but don't know how to make it. And your way of making it definitely sounds more healthy then the bread loaded down with sugar.

An Installation in Bunbury, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383361) • Rockingham, Australia 26 May

I don’t think I’ve written about the installations in the photo before. I hope not. They’re in Bunbury and I couldn’t help taking a photo of the pelican with its nest behind it. I’m guessing it’s the nest but I couldn’t find any...

Mary Ellen When my daughter was 14 or 15 she was stung by a red wasp just above her lip. Her lip turned completely up. I gave her diphenhydramine but her lip stayed swollen for close to a week. She refused to go anyplace because it was so swollen. She wouldn't even...
