Well, the good new is, I didn't spray any paint on me or my clothes. The bad news...............it still looks like a garbage can! LOL The plastic does odd things when it softens, there's a fine line between soft and melted and I crossed it several times. I thought there was still a possibility of rescuing it, so I sprayed it with a textured paint, and then with matte black. Ahhh well, the best laid plans..... It can go in the ground to keep my future pampas grass from taking over and spreading too far! Hypertufa here I come. While I;m at it I might as well make a fake rock for the well pipe too.

Awww Elaine, those squirrels are just a darn nuisance! I can't think of what you could do to make them go away, unless you start setting Havahart traps and releasing them miles away from home. I haven't seen any bunny damage yet, but the hosta arent popping up and that will surely draw them in. Then I will be out there with my pellet gun, if I can find it.

I don't have a dining room either, I converted the area where it would have been for my reading chair, book cases, and the roll top for the computer. If we have more than just we two for dinner, I can seat 6 at the kitchen table, if I add the folding work table from the den we can do eight, plus there's three stools at the snack bar. More than that and it's every man for himself. Hasn't been a problem so far, my guests are mostly family, and quite willing to sit anywhere. In nice weather there's the deck.

Emptied the dishwasher, and that's about it for the day. For breakfast/lunch I took my leftover spinach and pasta salad, threw it in a pan and put alfredo sauce over it to wilt the lettuce. Pretty tasty! I didn't put dressing in the big bowl last night, so it heated nicely. I was thinking of Sarv when I started making it because it was still early, but by the time I got distracted several times, it was noon!

Nice to see you back Suzie, have a good trip. The Friday thread confused me too, but it doesn't take much, ya know. So we'll have two Fridays. Much better than two Mondays.

I'm going to vacuum. Then I'm going to sit down. I got tired holding that big can over the Weber. Another one of my grand schemes that was better in theory than in fact.

~~~~~ to all.

Edited to add, Babs, I just love your mother! A wet kisser!! So funny! And a full moon coming up, oh boy!! That's probably what messed up the hyperlink for the Thursday page!
