We didnāt get much snow but it made the roads slippery Saturday morning. We were driving and someone was following too closely. We were moving slowly to stop at the stop sign without sliding through. The guy behind tried to stop and did slide and went into the opposite lane to avoid hitting us. Itās a good thing no one was driving in that lane.
Wow, we are the eye drop queens on this thread.
Karen, I am with you on printers. If Iggy wasnāt around to fix ours, I would have Geek Squad on speed dial. I donāt do Windows.
Linda, I hope all goes well at Bobās appointment. I wonder if he hurt his tail bone.
Kathy, it has been a relief not to have DeSantis all over the news. Sorry you still navel to endure. Enjoy your 80 degree weather. Winter came back for two days and now spring is here again. We will be in the 60s this week.

Chele, I remember those icy roads. You step on the brakes and just keep sliding and turning the wheel does nothing. Scary.
DH slept until 11pm, got meds and hobbled to br. I tucked him in and he went back to sleep. I woke around five because his light was on. Br and more meds and I insisted he eat half a buttered English muffin with tiny bit of jam and half a banana. He ate almost nothing last night and is diabetic. He slept until 8:30 feeling a lot better and was pleased to be able to sit in his morning coffee chair with iPad and muesli! It only hurts now right over lower back spine where he must have hit his back on edge of the desk. Glad he can see doc. Knock on wood.
11 last night out with dog she lead me to an amazing amount of mushrooms in the lawn, fairy ring type that comes up light brown and. Round . This time they popped into wavy parasols. Picked them out before she did. This morning she found more next to that spot in garden. I will have to get my trusty footstool in there and pull weeds and pick out those.

Thanks for the start, Chele. Enjoy the eclipse. It will totally bypass TN. We did have a good view for the 2017 one and that was right before we lost Phoebe. I don't remember having a lot of outages then but maybe I just forgot. YIKES on the near miss Saturday morning. Probably one of those people who forgot he wasn't driving on dry roads. Dale is our primary tech guy, but I can usually figure things out when he's not around. We don't have a Geek Squad closer than KVL, so that would cost a fortune to have them come out. LOL on the eye drop queens. That would be us. I also have not missed DeSantis on the news. Wish we could miss Trump in the same way. We are in late spring today. Sunny and mid 70s. We'll be back in the upper 40s later in the week.
Linda, I hope things go well with the PCP visit this afternoon and, yes, I see at least one x-ray in his near future. I know he resists a walker or a cane, but he needs something to keep him more stable so this doesn't keep happening. The consequences could be quite dire. Hopefully he just bruised it. Did you get the weeds pulled? Ah, fairy ring mushrooms.... Does Minni pay any attention to them? There are both poisonous and non-poisonous varieties growing in fairy rings, so I've never paid attention to them when I've had them appear. You have to be so careful and be 110% sure what you have before eating them.
Is summer back in your neighborhood, Kathy? With us being in the mid 70s, I hope you aren't in the 80s (or warmer). How are things going with the Garmin? I had to do a hard reset on mine today because it kept telling me the current temperature was 32Ā°. Not the first time that's happened and it's frustrating because I do pay attention to that.
We are expecting heavy rain on Wednesday, so I will go to class that day and Dale did his trail run today. I was quite busy in his absence and am extremely tired right now. We have clean bathrooms, clean floors, clean towels, clean clothes, freshly cooked beans, and a large pot of minestrone. Arya and I also spent some time out on the deck soaking up some Vitamin D. We have a greenhouse work day tomorrow so I'll be transplanting seedlings for our early crop sale next month. We have broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, greens, and a couple dozen other varieties of plants to sell. I hope people will support us, since this is earlier than our usual sale.

that eclipse will by pass is too.
Hope your effort is rewarded and the sale is good.really hope that class is better.
Looked at photos and descriptions of AZ common lawn
mushrooms these mushrooms seem ok, but I do not want Madame eating any! The pure white āangelsā I hope not to see.
Got on my patio footstool and dug out the rest along with calla lilies growing nicely that are poisonous to dogs ( sniffle sigh) and some epic weeds that were not in the garden three days ago! Half a trash bag!
went to fetch groceries for the patient who is in much better shape than I. My 50 year old back injury is acting up along with unhappy knee and cloggingā¦sneeze. Did not have to look outside to know it would rain.
Spouse was pretty good all day. I drive him to dr. And sat there an hour, got 50 pages read after I finished his tablet questions. By the time he got about, half the staff had left for the day. The new guy is all five week days and very thorough. He has experience. He kept pressing DH's back but it did not hurt.no x ray and what we are doing is working, Well, a bit before dinner it did hurt after Tylenol and Advil wore off! So he is med, fed, and in bed! Dog walked, fed and wants to play.
This woman is tired and cranky. Hope to sleep. Last night was the one ear open worried sleep.
