some bounce
Lani ... Very close. It is time to hunt fissies...
KB ... What a cutie
Lisa... How ya doing?
Yep... We have a large property and due to not wanting to deal with an extra hose and needing to remove a ceiling panel in the basement to drain the front yard spigot pipe in the Fall, we don't use the water access in the front. I drag the house from the back around to the front. I set in at least 2 areas in front, 2 sides of house, and at least 2 areas in back, plus the garden. What I am watering are trees and flowers... the lawn benefits.
 
TTFN
Puff. !!!

Yep, I water 1 and 1/2 inches per quarter of back yard...used a tuna can once to measure it...takes at least an hour per quarter....that's just the back for me...my yard only...I hand water or use soaker hoses in my gardens...
No rain this week at all, tig, at least in the forecast going forward.
I have 4 hoses hooked up to just my back outdoor faucet....1. lower grass, Scott ran it under the deck and out to a second spigot in front of deck, 2, to my back yard sink...luckily for me he hooked it up so I can wash up outside, 3...large reel to hand water the gardens and fill the jacuzzi, clean the decks, and 4, an upper deck hose just for that one...
It's complicated but works....took me awhile to set it all back up a few days ago..pliers tightening etc.

Good Morning Beakers


No headache or sinus pressure, but that right ear feels full and is popping a lil. I'm pretty sure that is normal. As long as there is no bleeding or discharge coming from it, I guess that is ok.  I took some Tylenol at 8pm and then finally a 800 mg Ibuprofen at 5 am.  They said, I can start back my Aleve this afternoon, so my body aches will start to feel better once I get a few days of that and Ibuprofen in me.

tsk - Thank you 

Phyl - Thanks    Great pics from the cams. Love the geese families. 

E4E & Phyl - Jeff did an online order from our favorite BBQ place while I was in recovery and picked it up on the way home.  I had fried catfish fingers, fried okra and potato salad.  Then, when I got home I had a HUGE cuppa coffee!

tig - How is your wound doing?

Lani - Pretty good night pic, and thank you    Thanks for the Royal update!

clynn - LOL...He says, I am giving you a lil something...I said, I need a good sleep...I have 7 kittens at home...and was out!!!!!!! 

kb - Cute baby peacock!

Puff - I am glad that you got some rest.  Don't over-do it!

Hi Lisa, glad UR better... most of the area is already healed. The one deeper spot (where the first day bandage stuck) is still open but looking better, bleeding less when I clean it. I just wanna kiss whomever invented paper tape!

KB - ROFLOL !!!

Hi BEAKERS

Monarchs are now in my garden 

61 heading to 83 and sunny 

EAGLES  You are so lucky to have a hubby who is so handy.  Does he just create or work from a set of plans?  Fun to run into an employee and catch up 

TIG  Nice break in your day to hear Camper's granddtr sing - Did she have a solo?

LANI   Nice close-up of SP's eye.  Beautiful good night poppies 

CLYNN   WOW  what an amazing sculptured head stone for the wheel chair bound son. 

KB  That baby peacock makes me smile    Tim wanted to remove our clover too and ended up killing the grass using a product that said it would not kill grass.  You will find other opinions that clover is good for the grass.  The way I see it - it keeps the rabbits out of my garden  LOL AND it is green       LOLOL on the instagram piece.

LISA   You have a plan but it just takes a while.  Hope that ear improves quickly.

PHYL  Those birds are really singing their hearts out this AM[/color][/size]

Tig - Glad you guys had a wonderful evening in going to Camper's Granddaughter's choral concert!       Hope you are healing nicely - take care!

Lani - I do not miss work!!  I am enjoying retirement - no regrets at all - I was more than ready to retire when I did so last Sept!!   Love the vid of SP chick's eye & bill!   Thinking of Aly and her travels - hope all is well - I'm sure she is keeping in close contact with you & Mike!

Clynn - Yes it is nice to see an old coworker at the grocery store.      Good luck with your roses!

Phyl - Cute pic of DH2!  Like the nice pic of Geese on the ground 

Kb - Darling pic of baby peacock! Sounds like you have your watering system and hoses hooked up just right! Very good!    Kb, loved the cute vid of dog listening to phone conversation! Lol!!

Puff - Get some rest & relaxation 

LisaG - Glad you got thru yesterday - now for the healing - take care {{LisaG}}  Nice that Jeff picked up some good food and you got to enjoy a delicious meal!

Tsk - How wonderful Monarchs are in your garden!!   Do you still set out milk weed and stuff for them?   Hubby will build the new storage unit from Plans he ordered on line when he built one a couple of years ago, and he needs another, so making a 'sister' shed to go with the original one.

Beakers have a nice day.

Good morning Beakers!
Morning Blschue, Lilbro, Lori, Clynn, Tsk, Lisa, Karen, Oldguy, Puff, Eagles, Kb, Tig, Baz, Phyl, Peep, Jaspurr, Pink, Jilltosa, BL, Eburg, Weasel, Ezee, Bggolden, T40, ssrl, Maxie, and All!

Phyl, thanks for nests updates

Clynn, Minnesota's offer is a beautiful suggestion.... no matter how many times I see that photo of a father's tribute to his son it always tugs at my heart. Take care.

Kb, sweet morning pic.... good watering system. 

{{{Puff}}} 

{{{Lisa}}} glad you're better  ... you'll need energy for those "7 kittens!" LOL!!! 

{{{Tig}}} glad you're arm is healing....  "The tape was invented in 1845 by the doctor Horace Day, who used it to bandage wounds." 

Tsk, Beautiful monarchs have returned 

Eagles, You're lucky Kris is handy and enjoys carpentry. Mike doesn't, so I made do  .... I'm going plant shopping this morning. Have a good day.

Lisa - I think you need one of these for your kitties....might help with the babysitting too!.....

[LisaG1967]

kb - LOL, the head tilts on pup are too cute.  Oh, I do think I need one of those babysitters for my kitties.

tig - Oh, I just cringed when you said, where the first day bandage stuck ....YIKES!

tsk - Thanks, I hope the ear does too.  Getting off the floor when playing with kitties has been hard to do without any meds, so hoping it will get easier to do now that I am back on them. 

E4E - Yes, Jeff did pick out a good meal, but he was like...darn, I can't get a drink to go! 

Lani - Thanks    I am glad that Aly will be taking a half way break while driving, and I am sure Dewey will appreciate that too.   

[camperstig]

Yep, I more than cringed. Aloe is wonderful for healing, but it is drying...

Hello Beakers! 




My close 1st cousin, Earl, died yesterday evening, after 2 weeks in Hospice care.  He was a special person, and a family favorite... whip-smart, fun, and so nice, and had a most incredible sense of humor, but quietly - lucky were those who sat within earshot of him!    He was the main influencer for my getting into general aviation and getting my pilot's license. Kicked many a classic airplane tire, and peeked under their cowlings, alongside him, and enjoyed time in his hangar while he tinkered on one of his taildraggers or other airplanes at the little, private airport that was so much at the center of his world.  He always had a good word or helping hand for others, and kept an eye out for the least among us, to whom he quietly showed supportive caring and kindness. A real gem, who always will be in my heart.   




Lisa, I'm glad you're on the road to feeling better again.

Clynn, I like Minnesota's offer!  Some other states/cities are doing likewise.

Tig, I use paper tape, also... good stuff.

TSK, yay, the Monarchs are back! 


Waving to All the Beakers! Take care, All. 

[karengramke]

Lisa, Jeff is a good man and you are almost healed!  A few days and you woll be good as new! 
Phyl, as usual, thanks for the birdy roind up!   Just read a headline , but not the article, that said Americas birds are under great stress!  Have to look furthur and see what the issue is! 
Have a new hh personal today as my regular one is sick!    Glad she stayed home!  Had my first pt session today?  Pretty good so far!  She will be back Thursday!  Am supposed to have a man but he is on vacation!  Have to be up at 8 in the morning to get some address numbers put on thehouse!
Tssk, not much activity at my finch nest but the nest has survived a few area storms!  Good weather, in the mid 70’s.  Al have a good day!
Baz, sorry about your cousin but what a time
nice rememberance of him! 

[tsk34]

EAGLES   Milk weed is invasive through out my garden.  I just did a walk through and brought in 4 eggs which may or not be fertile this early in the season.  No harm no foul.

LANI   Glad you have some time today for plant shopping,  Maybe time enough for Aly to help plant.

KB  That kitten is in heaven!!

BAZI  What a beautiful testimony to your cousin Earl.  May he RIP

KAREN   So you do have a regular aide now?  Glad to hear PT went well.
