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

Gotta tell ya Bren I haven't missed living in a house for almost four years now - I was in charge of the "leaves" for 30 odd years and I hated every minute of it - especially when we lived on an acre on a mountain top in Tennessee - I had a four month sinus infection caused by the leaf mold and I had a blower that was useless so I raked and raked and raked and raked.........

Oak trees, I don't miss'em. Not the leaves so much, as the HUGE acorns, ouch, ouch when they hit'ya falling. Or leave dents in the car. Prefer our Sugar Maples, delicious color, and then, yummy syrup.

another painter, Blue, I've never heard of and like....

as for food prices, I've noticed it at Costco, not so much at Trader Joe's.

chickadee - protective mulch. we agree. Very protective. Chopping them up makes them even more biodegradable.

Tender pictures Blue, meant to say how much I loved the one of those adorable & wise kittens keeping warm.

OK, officially bonkers for Teddy the "talking" porcupine. The videos are newest, to earliest, dare ya to watch just one! Fascinating story in text too....

Lo and behold, a relative through marriage:

Pip....how great to be in Fla. and hope you are close to a beach. I'd rather sand be blowing in my face than leaves. Good thing I'm cleaning bathrooms today for Blue, eh !!!!

Speaking of Blue....It just so happened that when I opened BC. Org to this thread......there was that beautiful, gorgeous white dew-drop covered rose right before my eyes. Breath-taking for sure. You do find some of the most glorious pictures to share.

A ton of work on my docket today. Dh is recovering fairly well from the surgery and I'm so happy about that but the work part of life is mine, all mine right now. Have to say I've actually sort of amazed myself about what I've been able to accomplish without any help. Then again I've always said it is amazing what you can actually do when you have no choice. It may be the one time when not having much of a choice is a good thing.

I'll be checking in later. May look for a graphic or two to share before I go.

Aren't you glad some parts of our weather is actually a hoax. I feel so bad for these people.

Happy Florida, Pip. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine.

Blue, I ADORE that girl on a Unicorn. Fabulous.

Anyone watching The Paradise on PBS. I'm starting to like it.

Pip, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy the warm Florida weather! We're going down to 16 on Tuesday. I'm not ready!

Thought you girls would enjoy this toon!
