Title: Hello Friday Again
Post by: wsantia1 on April 23, 2021, 07:32:56 AM
Good morning everyone. Another crazy weather morning here with the temp at 36 degrees when I got up. the sun is shining brightly now and we are expecting to get up to a high of 63F by this afternoon. I can't wait for spring to become stable and winter to finally leave us.

I suppose I can get out and do some more outside work today while it is sunny and cool and hopefully I can put some of my plants in the ground soon. I also need to look around for a tree to put in the front of the house. I am thinking that my cherry blossom has bitten the dust. Hopefully I can find a replacement at a reasonable price. No more cherry blossoms though.

Have a great day everyone.

Happy Friday, Willie. I sure wish it would turn Spring there.  This year has been crazy weather for everyone except Ron who likes to bake.

I went to visit Twee this morning.  I took her eggs and a dozen mystery snails and picked up a 300 watt heater for a 60 gallon.  My young Discus keep growing and will soon have to be moved from their 29 into more spacious digs.  She wants me to take her 15 black rams tomorrow so I'll be seeing her again soon.  She got the J&J vaccine and said that she was sick for a week.  The very next day they announced the news about the blood clots.

I also visited the Asian market for the first time.  I was lost.  Most of the labels were in Chinese and the owner of the place wasn't very helpful.  I got some good home made Kimchee which is excellent, some firm Tofu, and several ingredients that I will use since I'm going through my Asian cooking phase.  I wish I'd had an Asian buddy with me to help, though.

I need to do WC on a few of my house tanks in a bit then maybe I'll play outside some.  No planting for me, though.  They say we'll have big bad storms coming in tonight.

Hope all of y'all are happy and having a good productive day.

Good afternoon Willie and Liz, very cold here last night, frost on the roofs this morning.  But so far my new leaves on everything look OK.  A slight breeze saved them.  I had a great day going until awhile ago when I got stung on my left arm by a wasp making a nest right over my front door, unknown by me.  Looked up the nest type online, it is a brown wasp.  Hurts, but I have my arm wrapped in ammonia on papertowel, wrapped up in saran wrap.  Hot and swollen but pain isn't too bad, ammonia saves me!  Works great on fire ant stings too.  Nothing more to say now, plan to watch tv and do nothing for awhile.

I'm going next door in a little while for a neighbors birthday celebration. I don't really want to go but I have no good excuse not to. As of right now I don't want to drink any alcohol but once I get in there I may have a change of heart. huh
