    Teka- I hope to be able to see that tonight. Floors are done and been cleaning up the saw dust, etc. I am pooped!

    That would be cool to see. I don't expect to be around in 2287 or if I am, I will be very wrinkled!

    Backyard pot with beautiful purple verbena. It also includes some pink purple geraniums and other flowers. The verbena just loves this pot.

    Well, back from my week of vacation.  It was great to spend some time with my brothers and their families and catch up on all their lives.  Enjoyed lots of California sunshine - Though it's pretty warm and sunny here at home too.  Have to get back to reality and go to work tomorrow.  Bleh.  

    All this talk about gardening.  We're slowly working on our landscaping.  There are lots of things I would love to plant, but the deer would devour it in no time.  We do have a huge vegetable garden which is surrounded by a 7' fence.  My veggie fortress!  We have cucumbers and zucchini coming out our ears now.  My husband and I take bags of produce to work to give away.  I haven't gotten into the whole canning thing, but I do freeze tomato sauce and salsa verde.  I store potatoes and garlic as well.  

    Hope you're all doing well.  Can't believe August is almost over.  Where did the summer go?

    Monis- welcome back! I am glad you had a good get away. I am sure it was wonderful to spend time with family, and also have them see you are doing well. I visited a number of people in places I have lived before (CT and Texas) this year for exact those reasons.

    Your garden sounds amazing and what veggies are you harvesting here in the late summer?  I also hope re-entry to work goes well. I think going back to work midweek is so much better than a full week after time away.

    Hope everyone is doing well here. Air is cool and crisp this morning and the summer now seems to be waning. Summer does go by quickly, but it has been a better one for me this year compared to the past three summers.

    Good morning all.  I know what Blondie means about days blending into one.  After five years of retirement, I sometimes have to really think about which day of the week it is.  More dogs than usual were barking on my walk this morning.  I wonder if the "double moon" upset their rhythms.

    DH and I are taking his daughter to Red Lobster for lunch today.  Grilled tilapia tacos will be my choice.  Hope everyone has a yummy day.

    Those sedums are pretty.  Haven't seen any like them around here.

    Jazzy, love, love the floors, and your garden is lovely.

    Monis, welcome home, glad you had a most excellent vacation & good times with the family.

    My cousin came home from choir rehearsal last night with the sweetest card and a bag of home grown tomatoes from some friends. The card said something like, we know you love to garden and you're probably not feeling much like it these days so we wanted you to have some from ours. They are a sweet young couple with 5 little ones. The guy and his FIL wer the ones who did all the work around the house this spring, painting trim & cleaning & repairing gutters etc. We've known them for many years. What a nice surprise.

    Big I came to visit last night, that would be insomnia, again. I really don't want to have to start taking pain meds just to sleep.

    Hi Monis.

    Mags, sorry to hear about your insomnia.  I hope you are able to enjoy the fresh vegetables.

    Jazzy, are you wearing a dust mask as you clean up the sawdust?

    By the way Jazzy, love the backyard pic.  Is that a fountain or a fire pit toward the back of the picture?

    Sally- no dust mask, although probably a good idea. 

    And yes, that is a fire pit. I have yet to use it, bought it from a neighbor last year who was moving. Since we have have more rain this year and fire risks are down, I might try to use it this fall!

    Thanks Teka!  I appreciate every one of you here as well.  I can't go to bed at night until I've visited BCO and have caught up with everyone!

    First day back at work after vacation - Had a good day, no crisis!  My son is gone for the next 4 days with some friends at a PAX Convention (Penny Arcade - Video Games), so it's just me and the hubby.  We can walk around the house naked all weekend!  On second thought, maybe not. 

    Today I harvested carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, eggplant, tomatillos, jalapeños, tomatoes, beans, kale and swiss chard from the veggy fortress.  Here's some photos of the garden:

    Monis- wow, that is not just a garden but a real vegetable farm! I love all the things you are harvesting right now, yummy! I can tell by the landscape behind it you live in a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing those photos!

    Good to hear re-entry went okay and hope your work week finishes up well. Onward to the long weekend and if you want to run around the house naked this weekend, we won't tell!

    Monis, I agree with Jazzy's comment that you have a farm ... and a lovely farm at that.

    Teka, I too am thankful for all the people here ... which, of course, includes you and your lively posts.

    Damn, voice died on the living room 40" TV.  

    Tomorrow, husband and I will shop for a new TV and eat out.

    How much bigger than a 40"?

    Maybe get TV repaired to replace the smaller old TV in the bedroom.

    The kitchen project is almost done, but no more taping and painting until after busy Labor Day weekend.

    October, start outdoor clean-up for Fall.Winking

    M onis, how beautiful and lovely does your garden grow!  I am going to try some myself in Spring. Very motivating!

    Good luck Teka with the tv. We got a big cheap one at walmart and it is just fine! I think it is a 42 inch.

    Hermettes, my second chemo is now a memory. Done and home by 1pm!  Trash tv, gatorade and cuddles with kitties and DH all weekend. What could be better than that?!

    All have a wondeful, SE free long weekend!

    Teka- dang about the TV dying. I heard the best time to get the smokin' deals on electronics is November, but perhaps too long to wait to have something in the living room for you and hubby. TV will become more important in the winter! I have yet to watch the new VOICE this season, but do love the show.

    Do you belong to Sam's Club? I have been looking at them there, and Walmart is the same company as Sam's. I have seen them as big as 70 inch, and had one friend with one but unless you have a big room, WAY too big. She moved from a house into a condo and the thing took up the whole wall on one room. Measure the space to see how big you can go without it taking over? Tell us what you get, I am looking to get two new TVs this year (I have the old style ones that are huge and heavy) and going to look in Nov.

    Bippy- I hope you have a good weekend and few SEs from the latest chemo treatment. You are so very positive in your posts as you go through this, but expect that is just who you are to begin with!

    Cami- where are you?

    Blondie- how are you feeling end of the week?

    Onco- I hope your foot is continuing to get better?

    Lili, Mags, Monis, and everyone else here, hoping you are doing okay today?

    Putting the living room back together and some redecorating going on here. Almost like having a new house!

    i am not ok, no fight left, nothing to really make me want to live, had whats the point conversations with OH this week, of course he repeats his usual script, i told him how utterly miserable i am and how he is no support and that really i just want it all to be over. I have no hope for future, no joy and was even refused a funeral plan!!! I just dont have what it takes, cancer will get me one day so why fight now when all my female bitsare either non existent or all out of juice.....ñ

    My Doctors and even Health Insurances ask if I feel depressed.

    No one ask if you feel depressed?
