Sheba, Happy Flag Day! Ca is big and there are those who think it should be split into 2 States. N and S as they are completely different in many ways,
Love the Flags.
Hope you and your family have a great Fathers Day and your daughter a Happy Birthday!

Shoelady, Hope you feel better soon. I hear that a respiratory illness of some kind is spreading around here. A friend and her husband had it and went to the Dr. He was prescribed meds and she was prescribed nothing. To be fair, he was much sicker. It lasted about 1 week to 10 days for them.

Sheba, hello! We went away for a hike and stayed over. Hubs was so happy that we did this trail because it’s much easier than the usual one It was just too hot to do our usual. He was all smiles.
Still hot though. We have been on this trail before. We were blocked about an hour into it by a herd of cows ( over 10 of them) I didn’t want to cross them in the path. They were pretty tame and moved a little way up to more shade. We took their spot and sat at a picnic table for a while. That was plenty for us for the day.
I know you will be thinking of your Father this Fathers Day. It sounds like you’ll be visiting his grave sight.

Sheba, Hello. It was a calm day here. Very cloudy and cool. I loved it.
Just did some grocery shopping and cleaning here.
With all the rain, I think we will have some allergies and sinus issues this summer.
Have a good evening!

Sheba, beautiful image! Well for a while I thought today was Monday. Glad it’s Sunday!
Hike was quick but fun and did some cleaning. Since it was free shipping I finally purchased the Heidi Daus Pumpkin Earrings in my fav’s. I like the color orange a lot and Halloween will be here before we know it. Sorry your sinus issue is still bothering you.

Sheba, hello! This is take 2 as my 1st post poofed. Glad the new feeding method is working out.
Well, I learn all sorts of things here. A Donut and Ice Cream Day and on the same day. This must be hidden from my hubs as those are probably two of his favorites. 🙂 And he is looking to see what I am up to while he makes some low calorie soup.
The Donut history was very interesting too!

Best to all with the Sinus issues! Hope you are feeling better.

Sheba, or shall i say Mrs. Doolittle, good idea about bringing in the food. Hope it works.
I’m feeling good just a dry cough, but I still did my hour hike and love getting out. We were going to drive about 1 1/2 hours away to hike and stay overnight but will wait until next week to make sure i feel up to it. Hope you feel better soon. We all probably have a version of the same thing.
You mentioned high pollen count, and I was surprised that we have a lot of bad air quality days here. Petal Profusion is looking lovely online.
Today I sprayed garden plants with an online tip to mix water, dish soap and cayenne pepper then hubs goes out to gab cilantro for his dinner. Oops. I told him but it was too late and he didn’t seem to notice.

Oodie, Sorry you had to deal with gun shots. Never ok anywhere.
Hope your knee feels better soon.

Sheba, Spring brings all the blooms and i guess sinus issues, allergies and congestion are the price we pay. With all the rain from Winter, I did think Spring would be hard for allergies. Hope you get some relief.
Racoons are smart and I don’t know how you can keep one or more away when you have food for the cats. Sounds difficult. Nice you saw a bunny. My hubs still leaves little veggies for a bunny, but I have no idea who eats it unless we track it with our security cameras. One night, we had a single rat on our front door mat. My hubs thought it might be resting.

Shoelady, Hope you feel better soon!

Xango, let us know how your appt goes tomorrow. I will be thinking of you.

Sheba, Happy planting. My little plants are doing well. The tomatoes are growing well with little green tomatoes. Hubs grabbed some Cilantro for his dinner; it’s a very small plant but growing too. Any idea how to avoid those pesky hornworms? None yet, but trying to avoid them, The Sweet basil needs some love, and the Hydranga is still alive and has blooms (small plants). Let me know how your garden is doing.
We hear a heat wave is coming but it’s still cool outside.
Did house chores today and cleaned my closet. It’s my idea of fun.
Have a great evening everyone!

Sheba, Best to ration news for your own mental health. I know I do.
Having a phone on you is great.

Hope you have a great week ahead!

Xango,glad you’re feeling better. Good luck with your next appt.♥

Sheba, I was a big GH fan back in the early 80’s. I realized I was too into it when I was following the Luke and Laura wedding while away at School. Stopped watching all Soap. My Grandfather continues to watch As The World Turns after his wife passed. They watched it together for over 20 years.
Can’t imagine having to take public transportation to a job and worry about being killed. LA needs to fix it,
♥ your Basement.
Still a bit congested but I’m back to walking and hiking.
Have a great evening!
