Similar nice start to day…May garden later.
Tonight Dinner at the pub,expensive but a rare treat.
Geoff

Good Morning all,
It is almost 5:30 a.m. here in still dark Oakwood. Birds are singing to wake up the dawn though.

Strong rains with some thunder last night, and we may get more showers today.

Happy Father’s Day to all our Dads here in the Wash! Kari is coming over for lunch to wish her Dad well. I’m making a Turkish dish with lamb on top of pita bread pieces. Her partner Mike is a picky eater so she doesn’t cook this but enjoys it when I do.

I’ll check out that link Lulu.

to Geoff, JJ, and all who are on their way.

SYL,

Sylvia

Reasonably bright out there, I hope we get a little sun out there today.

Yesterday was fun, lots of loud talking and watching the baby!

Ground is still wet here too, only 4 beans sprouted from my last planting of about 20, but at least there are enough plants for some yield. Chard is just sitting there, tiny sprouts but no growth for a week. The lettuce isnt too bad, will get some salads eventually

Thanks for the nice comments re my GGD! Still not quite walking but very strong.

That is incredible Nancy, so tiny. You are a talented lady :thumbsup:

Beautiful work, Lulu!

7 hours Doug….I don’t remember what that feels like! You must have been tired.

Sounds like a lovely meal Sylvia.

Greetings to all!

:grouphug:

Good Morning! Yes, it’s going to rain. Nuff said about our dismal weather.

[FONT=”Georgia]Happy Father’s Day[/FONT] to all our Dads enriching our lives every day!

It’s my good intention and hope that we’ll be able to barbeque our dinner tonight. If not, oh well. I’ve got our salads made up already. I’m going to bake the angel food cake this morning… I didn’t get it done yesterday.

Nothing else exciting going on here. Ted didn’t feel well yesterday at all, but he seems a little better today. I’ll that he can hold out through the day. The Kids are coming out this afternoon and Simon plans to be here for dinner as well.

Tracy, you gave me a at hauling out your banjo! Now I have that tune ear worming…

Uschi… I didn’t mean to criticize. If we all were good at everything, we’d never need to talk to anyone about anything. I firmly believe in allowing the experts to do what I cannot. And, yup, it often costs me more than I want to pay.

Doug… let me guess… apple pie and chocolate cake.

Geoff… it’s a short life. Sometimes we just need to splurge.

Lulu, thanks for that link! It’s always interesting that we really admire the beautiful work of Artists who just don’t wish they could paint looser. Gorgeous stuff, this.

JJ… the wonderful scent of ozone in the air during a thunderstorm is special.

Sylvia, Ted enjoys a good meal of lamb also. But the Kids don’t.

Nancy, when I was supporting my two boys by myself, I worked three jobs. One of them was as a cake decorator. I loved it and really liked getting wedding cake jobs because they paid well. Your miniature rivals anything that I decorated in full size.

Lynn, your little garden needs some heat. We’re going to dome our pepper plants again. If you can get your hands on a plastic sheet, you could create a mini greenhouse. A clear shower curtain from the Dollar Store might do the trick.

Have a great day, everyone! :grouphug:

Good day all,

A bright morning but will still be a nice day. May get a little rain.

Doug, must be something in the air as I, too, got 7 hours sleep. Feels great!

Lulu, wonderful paintings.

Nancy, I thought, at first, I was looking at a delicious cake. Its astonishingly beautiful. Hope you feel better soon. My problem with ribs is I end up eating too many.

Lynn, I just planted my chard, beans and broccoli. Maybe my late start is fortuitous. We’ve been enjoying garden lettuce for two weeks. I love it.

Sylvia, sorry to any picky eater who has the opportunity to eat any of your lovely meals.

Char, hope Ted has a good day. My guess is Doug is baking rock cakes and chocolate cake.:)

Hoping to get some yard work done.
Bill
