Happy Birthday Kiska!
52 Here today....heat wave.
Gottcha beat it's up to 61.7°(F) here & 41.8%
Darn it, I thought I could beat that one!! I just checked and it is only 53*. Was supposed to get to 65* or higher but obviously didn't. Tomorrow supposed to be in 70s. We'll see.
wow - all day long, it's just now after noon, and I'm love'n all these wonderful wishes and it's a great day for me..thanks so much Rann, for the fantastic red rose..The "moose track" cake sure will be on my list for the next cake - thanks, Kelli.
and, pixie, another gorgeous flower; I'm getting the most beautiful boquet ever...thanks so much..with it up in the 50's, that's perfect...but, low 60's aren't bad, either, Dyson.
It's still hovering right at 9 degrees, but now that it's light out, there's scattered sun for a few hours..(sorry rann, not for you) :)

Hi all:

Can't wait to have time to look at all the lastest pictures.
..and...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kiska!
Deb
Here's a photo of Selma with her "hair pretty" :-) They're very excited about what they'll find in their shoe tomorrow!
Joey - A 100 energizer poochies couldn't get me out of bed at 5:30 if I didn't have to be somewhere ......... I don't know how you do it! LOL I've never heard any stories of those unruly lads getting cought - at least not in recent times ;-) They've been on their best behavior since Santa Claus reformed them and got them to change their ways ;-) I'll do my best with the firework photos on New Year's :-)
Ric - is it still summer there in Ohio??? 61 and sunny would be a very good summer day here ;-) Love the Mimosa and Mahonia and everything else in your garden - it's gorgeous!!!
Marylyn - love the bunny photos with Flat Micah - that's quite a book she's reading to him :-)
Sharon - that fog is really dense - has it lifted yet???
Whooopsie - forgot the photo ! lol
Here she is with her "hair pretty" :-)
It hit 59 so not officially Summer yet but close.
Sunday they say 65!
It's Sundown and 57 now!
Weird Weather eh?
Ric
LOL - good one Ric ;-) Enjoy the summer weather at this wierd time of year! I guess it's not looking promising for a white Christmas there ....
Ric, that's not fair!! Its warmer there than here!! Just ain't right. lol

HI everyone! not feeling too perky but wanted to say hiyah..
Kiska glad you are having a great birthday!!
Rann, that hair pretty is called a headband.. and it's very pretty. I have been enjoying reading about the trolls and their leavings..
Pepper - beautiful sunrise!
Ric – great cards! The first is Moose-terical!!LOL!
Rann – Selma is so pretty – so is her hair! And I love the pretty silver headband Stúfur gave her! The fog was still dense when I left work. It would let up a little then thicken again. Soupy soupy day here. We were supposed to get into the low 70’s, but I don’t think we did. Maybe the low 60’s. Not where I work, but you can tell how foggy it still is..on the way home around 5:15...
We're due for some cooler and wetter weather in the next few days. Just spent considerable time viewing and voting on the photos in this years contest. That was tough! (I don't think they have anything over on this forum's shots tho!)

Hi Jazz and thank you! Headband ....... I hate when I can't find the right words! Glad you stopped by and hope you'll be feeling better soon :-)
Thanks Sharon .... hope the fog lets up tomorrow :-)
I wonder what will be in the shoes tomorrow morning ...........
Helluu! Everybody! It's a balmy 45*. We had lotsa fog today, too. But not near as much as you, Sharon! Well, there is moisture in it, huh? I'll say this...It's way too warm (here) for this time of year!
My 1st day off has been just as hectic as going to school. I've been cleaning, washing clothes, & waiting for the surprise that Garrett wanted to get for me! Ok, I have a vaulted ceiling (just in the living room) & he surprised me with a 20 ft.Cedar! LOL I didn't have the heart to tell this lil sweetie that it's Way Too Big! :-D I'll be trimmin' All day tomorrow! He left after school & was gone until dark! Needless to say he had 2 ! helpings of spaghetti...:-D
Kiska, hope the day has been a good one for ya! I love the flag. :-)) ~ At the reindeer farm...do they use them at Christmas?...in a display? Like...with sleighs & elves & things? There's a Chistmas Town in Cherokee, NC. that have a few...it's like a Christmas village.
Ric!! Too Much Moose!!??? LOL!! ~ And what kind of Holly is that?
Rann, Selma's head band is really pretty! Now that's what I call some "Bling"! It makes her even prettier (if that's possible) :-D
Jazz, hope you feel better real soon! !
Pepper, those are some Magnificent! morning skies! Beautiful!!
Marylyn, Katies mighty cute there reading to Flat Micah. :-)) Can that cute lil munchkin actually read? That is so adorable! :-D
"See" ya soon !
Joey
Katie recognizes all of the letters and knows what sounds they make, but she can't actually read. She doesn't know that, though. LOL

5pm, dark, just above zero and supposed to get a bit chilly tonight, according the weather lady...
In between family stopping by; so will take a moment to say thanks again, this has been a most memorable b'day....thanks so much.
The reindeer farm does nothing like that, Joey, but it's a great idea. The waterfall is so pretty.
Elementary school near the reindeer farm..my daughter attended there in the late 70's.
kiska
I'm guessing the reindeer just hang around, working out, getting ready for that Fat Guy to pop in next week.
The Mahonia gets a pretty yellow flower and it's berries can be used for Jelly.
I've had the Jelly out in Oregon but I don't get enough berries to mess w/.
Joey sounds as if you got a Christmas Tree AND a Yule Log all in one!
Ric
It is taking forever to catch up with you all. Loving the pictures and stories. Just wanted to post one of my favorite paper people pics of Dave and Trish. Back in a while with catch up post.
hi 55 lo 29 rt now 34
39.4°(F), 66%, dark 45.3° (F) in the shed. Sooner or later I will figure out where I want that sensor or I might have to get a few more of them. 1) back porch 2) shed 3) under la-casa doublewide (water pipes) 4) in the garden 5) in the car. - someone stop me - please.
Good morning!
Þvörusleikir (Thvörusleykir - "ö" = u in hunt; "ey" = like in hey) made it down from the mountains last night and left the girls little toy animal figures, Selma got a tiger cub and Hildur Eva got an elephant calf :-) Back in his unruly days Þvörusleikir was found lurking around the kitchen like Stúfur, but not hunting for frying pans ..... he liked to grab a ladel to lick when "the cook" left the pots unattended.
Kiska, Joey and Blooms - great photos!
Now for the weather - it's 25F, calm and I'm guessing fairly clear skies - still very dark. Sunrise will be at 11:16 and sunset at 3:29.
Have a nice day all!
rannveig
The flat Dave and Trish were with me for a whole month and traveled from here in Moab Utah with me all the way to my sister's farm in Upstate New York. Here they're in my Sis's tomato patch.
And just for giggles here we are at Rockefeller Center
Good Morning! Everybody! :-D The temp is 33* & will get into the 60's! I seem to function better when I'm 'chilly' (but not when I'm tired).
LOL Dyson! You may need one at the 'puter'.! That way you won't have to get up & look , like I do ! :-)))
Ric, I think you may have something there! I could just chop up the remains for aeromatic purposes! :-) Oh, yea, I could make a wreath (never used cedar before) & use some bows on the hearth! Well, I'll be dragging out the gardening gloves today! :-D
Rann, the stories...lovin' 'em. :-) The water fall is a mini one at Niagara. Lake Erie actually drops 9 feet before it gets to the "big" falls. I was sitting beside it (at that point) with my hands in it! It is the most amazing place. 5 days at that place & you won't want to leave!, but I'm drawn to it! (must be the Iroquios blood;-)
Blooms ~ Your pix almost make them look Real! I'd say it's because of your good photography!
Marylyn, 'kiddies' are so cute when they are 'reading'! Alas, those days are gone! :-(
Well, gonna eat breakfast & then get the gloves out! :-D
Have a Great Day! (be smelling of cedar when I get back!)
Joey
38.9°(F) BP, 44½°(F) S - Light hope it gets warmer as the day progresses.
