I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Morning Peeps!

Already hot here .. and rising. 

Athena .. best to stay indoors in this weather.

Blue .. have a good day, don't overdo.

Don't know what we have going today.  Maybe a ride to the lake or Meadows of Dan.

hugs all,

Bren

well, just to put a wee bit of a good word in for ants, they're probably eating baby aphids   If they're 'the red biting kind, I'd just RUN in the other direction!!!  But if they don't bite you, they're probably munching on goo left by aphids, black fly, those "horrible" thingies

lassie11 I remember the ants all over the peonies and agree my mom always said they were needed.

I never thought of using liquid dish detergent. I like that idea. I wonder if it would work on the red ants. We are always fighting the hills from these little buggers.

It's so sad when young people die.

That is sad. Not unexpected, really.

I love ants - even though they are nearly impossible to get rid of at times.They are wonderful little creatures, though.  

I really like Amy Winehouse's music .. such a tragedy to lose such a talented person at such a young age. 

We had a great day in the Meadows of Dan on the Blue Ridge Pkwy.  The weather up in the mountains was perfect .. and it was great to get out of the house.  We stopped and the candy factory and got some really great chocolates. Yum!

Guess I need to read and catch up.

hugs,

Bren

Maybry Mill in Meadows of Dan

Shenandoah is gorgeous and about 1 1/2 hours north east of us.  The area we went to was about 30 miles north of us .. not far at all.  I got my favorite malted milk balls at the candy factory!  Now I'm washing them down with a cup of coffee.  yahoo!

Bren

Barbara .. It was lots cooler up there, plus it started raining when we got to the parkway. 

How was your day .. did you sit by the pool?  I am so envious of your tan!

hugs,

Bren

Bren, my tan is not that great. It takes a lot of sitting in the sun for me to tan. I used to be able to burn after an hour but living here, it takes about 4 hours now. So I take limited doses. Today, I maybe had 30 minutes, off and on. So I tan but slowly and safely I hope. I do use sunscreen if I have to be out for longer than 30 minutes.

Sue, just stay here!

Susie .. please don't leave.  I'm sorry somone was mean to you .. please stay .. what can we get you from the BCO Bar & Grill? Perhaps a Bloody Mary for breakfast?

Barbara .. I was a total beach babe growing up .. I lived in the sun (San Diego), and had my first of many skin cancers at age 29.  I don't wear sunscreen as it irritates my skin, but I limit my exposure to the time it takes me to mow a field.  Usually about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.  Luckily, the house is surrounded by a huge oak and chestnut trees, so lots of shade.

I use Neutrogena tanning cream on my legs to give them a little color.  Nothing too dark or extreme, but at least they aren't snow white.  ha!

Thanks girls, I'm not going anywhere. This site has been a life saver for me. It's a pity there are some people with anger issues that attack anything that moves. Now I'm being accused of not living in Australia because I posted once that I was not from here. So I was born in NZ and have lived here for 48 years but I still identify as a Kiwi - so what. At least I wasn't up at 2am upsetting people. However, I will be missing in action for 6 weeks shortly, but I expect I will not be able to stay away, just checking in less often. Only 2 and a half weeks until we go away - eeek!!!

Thanks Sunflowers - I know I'm not a bully and I am happy with me and I have a thick skin

Darn - forgot to save some of my urine this morning to drink with my breakfast, the bloody mary will have to do.

how about another link to that review site.. I can't find the link.  I had a post removed for suggesting I think that frantic picture posting is an attempt to up the google ratings.. anyway, i don't care.  I've never reported any post or poster.

 I am not banned tho.
