Eeks....my first bee sting in years!...pulling out a weed out of my lawn without gloves on.
Getting complacent I guess.
Nothing worse than a bee sting on your thumb!
I'll be fine....better not cramp my style though I have a boat load of things to do outside with my hands this week...catching up after heat prevented much at all.
Wear those gloves!

I'm overseeding the lawn this week and some bare spots from tree removal etc...bought myself one of those manual aerators you step on to pull out plugs before seeding.
Just small areas and on a hill so we shall see.

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


Eagles, Luna was such a sweet fun dog. She and our old dog Bandit was very close. It took Bandit a while to get use to little Dewey. He never hurt Dewey, because he knew Dewey belonged to Aly, and Bandit loved Aly, but this little yappy thing was a hard change for him. He didn't look at Aly for a week or so. LOL! We always wondered if we should have taken Bandit with us when we decided it was time for Luna. Bandit couldn't stop looking for Luna for quite a while.

Clynn, no, they're not shutting down the Albatross cams. New Zealand is 17 hours ahead of us. It's already Thursday there, 4:12am the 7th. I usually wait a day to post their videos, but that was such a nice close up, I couldn't resist.... it was 52 degrees this morning, it'll jump up to low 90's today... then it will cool down again by night. Which makes it nice for our AC. Next week daily temps should be in the low 80's. Some of the maple leaves are starting to turn red. That means the valley temps will cool down to the high 90's. My favorite time of year.

karen, praying not another hurricane coming your way.

Lisa, safe travels and fun day in Annapolis.

Tsk, Aly went to live in Kragero, Norway following a Norwegian friend she went to college with. She had several friends from Norway at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. She is still very close with them and their families. Also, close with a North Ireland college friend and her family. Yes, she brought home Luna, she loved the water. She passed away from cancer a year after we moved to Payson. Then Aly found Dewey at a small dog rescue in Scottsdale.

BL, sad to see another one coming.

Phyl, oh my what a handsome well groomed boy!  ;D

Luna on the passenger seat and Bandit behind the wheel waiting on Aly 2013 ;D :-*

karen - Yes, I got to see kitty when I visited Sydney.  Kitty is getting big.  We think she is almost as big as Misty.  Misty is a petite cat. 

clynn - I had appointment at ENT for my T-tube check.  I go every 3 months.  Aww, the dog and duck pic!  What have you been doing now that you don't have Bella on Wednesday's?

Puff - You got quite a bit of rain. 

E4E - Thank you.  Sounds like you are having nice temps...73!

kb - You have been busy this morning.  Ouch!  I hope you are ok with that bee sting. 

Lani - Aww, love the pic of Luna and Bandit.  Thanks for the TRR pics and the Royal update. 

((tig)) - Feel better

LISA   Safe trip!

CLYNN  I think Puff got more than we did.  Not sure if even measurable in the gauge.  Awww  dog and duck hug.  Flashback  :o :o

PUFF  You had a pretty good rain.  Not that much here.

KB   Good job with the multi task  ;D ;D    How cool was that space station view  :o :o

LANI   Sweet Nara  :)  Thanks for Aly's connection to Norway and that she went to school in San Fran.  I remember when Luna died.  :(

TIG  Doesn't take much to get the aches and pains.

tsk, well at least you got more rain than we did, which was zilch, zero, nada...  ;D

Lisa, I kind of scheduled myself around Wednesdays, it's taking a bit of getting used to! I am so used to saying 'any day but Wednesday' when setting up appointments!  Not that I am getting any more things done though! I kind of got myself hooked on watching Bones on TV. I never watched it before, and it's on 3 different channels here. Now I look ahead and can skip ones I have seen...

tig, just get yourself comfortable, all else will wait!

kb, take a break now and then! We have some good weather coming around!

Lani, cute tweet of the 3 chicks and the parent! Cute when the parent skedaddles, was it Manaaki that was in close pursuit? I had asked if the cam was shutting down because it read 'last look' in the description. Glad it's still on! Love your picture of Luna and Bandit on their car ride, maybe they were meeting up with Toonces! So Aly lived in Norway, how exciting, probably a good place for art! I really enjoy finding out little bits and pieces of each other's lives, it weaves us together...  Sweet Nara...

E4E, yes, Ed was a Marine, shouldn't say 'was', they say once a Marine, always a Marine.' I will now be expecting a picture of your son for our Veterans tributes!

karen, you are kidding about the 1970's school bus being Bella's bus! She doesn't ride the bus, they are too close to the school!  Any more yard work being done in your yard? I think you are doing an excellent job of being home and even by yourself a lot! I knew you would be better off at home instead of laying there ringing that bell!

Howdy Beakers!  :)

Clynn, I love the duck and dog hug!  :-* :-*  I'm going to believe it is real. Thanks! It made me go, "awww."  :)  That hairstyle, on the girl who is front and center in your throwback school bus picture, is back in style now! I had that same hairstyle in 1972-73.  ;D  Keep your Wednesdays!!!  ;D

Lani, hugs and  :-* :-* to you for your monthly food donations to the NABC.   You have a bear named after you!  :)  Awww... that's such a great picture from the wayback of Bandit and Luna in the car waiting for Aly... gotta make you chuckle still.  :D :-* :-*

Tsk, a Monarch flew past me out front yesterday. I thought it was coming to me. It didn't, LOL, but I was hoping!  I did tell it to turn around and fly the opposite way, because it was heading North!  ;) :D :D


Both sets of The Twin "greats" had their 1st day of school recently. They all loved it! None of them are in the same classroom as the other, by design. So they get at least a few hours a day not with their twin!  ;D

baz, for some reason I didn't realize that the twins were all from the same family! (or I just forgot!) When you say they left from Dad's house, you mean Dad supervised the first day of school outfit and hair? Let's hope they are at Mom's for picture day!

LOL, Clynn... you are correct on all counts!!  ;D  My Lil Sis has 2 children - the 4 twins are her son's kids, and my LGN and Baby Bro are her daughter's kids.  :)


Later, Beakers! I never had lunch... yet! I have The Hongries! Gotta hit up the kitchen for some eats!  :D

My lap is warm. Prayers for Zeus... Lil one has been battling cancer for years. This time I need to administer meds again. He is happy and mobile, but his mom and the vet did discuss whether it is time this morning.  :-[

tsk - Had a safe trip, and back across the bridge tomorrow to pick up Jeff's car.  They called this evening to say the upholstery shop had finished the work on the sunroof, and it was back at the dealership.  Best part...we don't have to pay a thing, as it was covered under warranty!

clynn - I don't think I ever watched Bones.  Every time we get hooked on a show, its either cancelled, or the next season takes a year to come on.  We got hook on Anne Rice's, Mayfair Witches show staring Alexandra Daddario .  That was so good.  I hope there is a season 2!  ;D the complaint to Amazon!

baz - Great pics of the two sets of twins!  I love that all want to be something different when they grow up. 

tig - Prayers for Zeus! 

Have a good night, everyone!

Hello Beakers

It has been a cool cloudy & breezy day  :)  We briefly made it to 76 about 4pm when the cloud cover opened up for about 30 minutes - now back down to 68 and dew point of 62.  Yesterday it was 87 with a dew pt. of 73 - very uncomfortable. 

Yesterday we started putting out Christmas - lighted wire frame animals and blowmolds.  Also sold a snow blower.  We are sold out on 4 models of lawn mowers, with everything left on the floor.

Hurricane Lee is expected to get to Cat4, but I like that the spaghettis, show most of them agreeing on it staying out to sea.

sorry, tig.....how old is zeus?....don't remember hearing a thing about it, but may be my memory of it.
and what kind of cancer?

It's only 64 outside and with the windows open most of the day, it's now cold inside...what a drastic change.
Won't last all that long, but still
