Better Late Than Never

Happy Friday Everyone! I'm so late getting here today. Nothing exciting that kept me from my morning coffee chatting but just sidetracked with this and that. My daughter is only working half days now on Fridays through the summer so I wanted to get a few things done before she was finished with work. I'm waiting for her to have our lunch and I hope she doesn't get held up too long. I'm hungry!! It's a little too hot to sit outside even though it's a beautiful day. The a/c is pumping and it's nice and cool inside. Yesterday my next door neighbor spent a good part of the day trimming the tall trees surrounding his deck (I have no idea what they are except they are green and almost look like some sort of fur) He must has gotten a notice from the HOA because they were taller than the 6 feet allowed. His trees do give us a lot of privacy between our decks and I get the advantage of the privacy and he has all the work to maintain them With the weather finally being so nice I've noticed a lot of my neighbors finally planting their flower gardens. Me? I haven't decided yet if I'm going to plant any flowers (in pots) or if I'll just get some nice baskets. Nothing planned for the weekend. How's things in your little corner of the myLot world?

You and she are so lucky that her hours are shorter on Fridays during the summer. I know that you will fill those afternoons off with things to do together. I have to go out and poke around in my planters now.

@Marilynda1225 It would really enhance those workers that have young children off from school that they have to care for. They could easily have them in a morning program, and pick them up and spend the afternoon together.

Its really nice that my daughters boss closes the office for half days on Fridays. It gives everyone a break and extra time with family.

I love seeing what people do to their yards this time of year. My dad’s wife already has their yard looking amazing.

The neighbor behind me has his garden already blooming. He does it all in planters that sit on his deck railings. I get to admire it from across the yard.

Things are good here. I think I may have gotten something worked out I have been working on for months. I am feeling very clever... However, I best not count my chickens before they hatch..you know how that goes..

Getting hot here. I sometimes wish we had a place where we could plant. So many rules and no place to plant. Hope your daughter got there quickly.

Pretty much same with me. Plus I really don't have much luck growing things. I admire anyone who is able to have a garden full of fresh vegetables and/or flowers

I am so glad that she works only half day on Fridays during summer. I do not miss the job of trimming bushes when summer starts.

I'm glad we don't have an HOA in our part of our city. It's nobody's business how I maintain my yard or trees. I slept through the day, which was nice but still have that headache. It's manageable with some Tylenol but I can't handle myLot's white background as soon as I wake up, so I'm slow getting to myLot today, too. *shrug* The discussions are still here so I guess it doesn't matter how late I am getting here. Pretty didn't ask me to make anything for lunch or dinner tonight and she's still asleep so I may go in and find something easy for me to make and eat for myself and let her worry about her own lunch. (She set down a box of noodles that I won't eat so I assume that's what she'll fix for herself for lunch.) Pizza bites are sounding good for my lunch but I didn't lay down any meat to thaw for supper late tonight.

I'd like a bit more privacy where we face the street but nothing is growing very well at the moment.
