Something About Nothing..........#11

[Robo56]

Yes we feed the animals. Birds, squirrels and deer. The does bring their baby's up when persimmons fall for a treat.

Lynne we have a lot of apples on the tree here. Not ready to pick for a while.

Schumi would love to exchange some of your cooler weather for some of the heat we have here.
I am so looking forward to heading back home to Florida and my trip to Mall at Millenia. Never been. Can't wait to do a little shopping at Tiffany. Thanks for the idea

poison ivy --- eeeeks!!!!

oh no worries - we will be going to the darkside at some point. it's the cruise that may get canceled. ha ha. DD still asks if when we are going back to uni-ber-sal so she can ride the fish.

BTW for one summer I lived in Indianapolis by Castleton (?) mall. I think it was 82th street or something.

ps: i want a garden!

ps: i want a garden!

that's what i said too when we moved out of an apartment in chicago and bought a house in the suburbs.

had my garden and learned to hate rabbits.
they always invaded my vegetable garden and ruined it.....

years later, i would do tomato plants on the back open patio.
would string the tomato up the patio roof on twine.
then it was the birds i started to hate.

Tiffany is my favourite store in MaM.......well I think it is but I have so many I love to shop in there........always have to visit Tiffany at least twice.......there is something about those little boxes and bags........I'd gladly send over some of this weather.......it's still raining this morning!!

Lol.......how cute!! How old is DD?? I'd prefer the dark side over a cruise any day.........it's one thing I've never been inclined to do.....the ships do look beautiful and I can see the appeal, but won't do one.......DH used to want to go on a round the world cruise when he retires.......told him he's on his own.....I'll fly to the destinations and meet him there.......lol.......that won't happen!! I've told him we can spend 6-8 weeks in the States instead.............think that option may have won him over

I hate birds because they wake me up around 3.30 in the summer months........and living next to the sea we get really loud seagulls too!!!



Still raining!! Fed up with this weather now.........one of my friends blames me.....since I bought new sun loungers I've used them twice........lol........

Housework this morning I think..........dull day.

Hope your Tuesday is more fun

sorry re the cuke reference. have to be inventive when slapping same vegetable on the table each week lol.

I didn't think I'd like cruising either, but absolutely luv it! DH convinced me to try it and I took to it like a fish to water. A three day cruise is good starting point.

found a zagg case on amazon warehouse 70% off, sold!

herds of deer are a serious issue in our area, especially vs cars with several fatalities every year. Most have stopped planting corn and forced to fence in the bushes that they consider delicacies.Housing developments have driven them out of their habitats into smaller tracts of wooded areas where hunting is prohibited. Nearby communities have taken to having organized special bow culling events. Sad, but it's shocking how quickly their population can grow. Don't get me started on the black bears. It's a jungle out there. Least we don't have gators or sharks

 

[mrsabbott]

So, I just thought I would poke my head in and say hello.. Hope you are all having a great summer! For me, it has flown by fast! School starts next week and I should, hopefully, be starting work soon! I just got a new job, although they are finalizing some things before I do my paperwork and trainings and stuff. But it pays much better than my old job and will, hopefully, allow us to get ahead so that we can finally take another vacation!

Reading about the gardens.. we didn't do one this year because the dogs and chickens wouldn't stay out of the garden beds! We hope to expand and fence in our garden area next year. We couldn't afford to this year. I miss having a garden! We did have some random tomato plants sprout up in the FRONT yard.. not sure how that happened. But they have lots of green tomatoes on them so I am going to let them be..

Lol on the cukes......now I know.........good job on the Amazon deal..........bears......oh my..........we only have to worry about the human bears over here.........there's a few!!

Off out to get "both" legs waxed......yes Mac........will get both done...................ouch!!

 

[Robo56]

Hot and steamy again today

Don't have as severe a problem with deer here. The hunting keeps them manageable.

I used to have a lovely tulip gardens going up the walkways leading to a house on another property. I would plant and devide them every year and the squirrels would dig them up and eat them. Luckly there were a few left to come up each year. My husband found it amusing, and He would say he saw them laughing in the trees with tulip residue on their fur.

Shark attacks along the ocean in the area were I live in Florida has increased over past three years. Not fond of the sharks, fire ants, Bobcats or gators. They trapped a gator in the waterway behind our home last year. If there is water they will eventually find their way there. Canadian neighbor was fishing and it latched on to his line.

So far no bears.

Still there is no place like Florida

 

[buckeev]

So..Let's just say I'm gonna be in Baltimore next weekend...(Inner Harbor area). Anybody have recommendations for some of those famous Maryland Crab Cakes!

Another cool day here.......dull and raining! Heating was on again last night.........just shouldn't happen in July!

Have a great Wednesday.........

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Schumi, we're hot and sticky with 100 degrees F to be the high today. I'll gladly send you some heat and sun. So bright this morning.

OK Keisha, where's the camel? I assume he's in the shade somewhere.

 

[keishashadow]

camel pool party!!!

water not included

same icky weather too. I never seem to mind it in the Orlando parks tho

 

[Bluer101]

Yep, been hot down here too, but that's S fla.

Glad it's hump day. Can't wait back at PBH this weekend. It's been a long time since we have been.

We don't really get animals except the locals.

 

[goNDmay9]

bwahahahahahahahahaahh!!!! RE the camel pic. Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!! Hot and sticky here as well. I am guessing that is the reason for our psycho electric bill.

DD1 is 3.5. She actually remembered things from last year too - but this year she is so vocal. Other DD1 is 2 (today actually).

I did not think I would like cruising either...but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. My parents are the ones that got us started on Disney last year with a surprise gift trip. DD1 refers to all cruise ships as "Nana and PopPops Boat" and Disney Ships as "Mickey Mouse on a boat".

I think that the darkside with a Disney cruise afterwards is the perfect combination. It is a great way to get your Disney fix without going to the parks. For us, it is so relaxing. We did not use it last year - but I have heard amazing things about their daycare and kids club. And with Disney - you can (legally) bring your own wine (or prosecco in my case) on board. Just relaxing on the veranda watching the water go by with my glass in hand. Ahhhh. Just wonderful.

 

[schumigirl]

To the littlest goNDmay9................hope she has a lovely birthday..........love the nana and pops boat.......lol......cute!!

Nice camel Keisha...........yes I don`t mind the heat and humidity in Orlando either.......in fact I insist on it!!!



Hair all blonder again.......walked home from the village as it has turned out to be quite a nice day.......DS dropped me off I didn't just leave the car........ Nice to see the sun after a miserable few days.........and we are supposed to warmer than the Mediterranean this weekend................sounds nice to me!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Happy 2nd birthday to the littlest goNDmay9. Fun age, love the boat reference too!
