No. Did not go inside at all. Not enough time.
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 55
It was 60 here today, but the yard was too wet to work in. Good to hear you are in FL, Louise, & that you're getting the summer we missed here. Hope it's that nice in Jan. when we are in the Villages. Gee, Pixie, I'm surprised you had more kids after the first labor! I was in labor about an hour---that was enough.
AN HOUR?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you should have had 10 kids.
Bill - I can't toughen up! It's like Hell here! LOL But while I'm whining about it, I might as well show you the slow progress we've made outside. Here's the way we found our breakfast patio when we got here......
Now here's our progress in that area. I still have lots of the plants I brought down here to go into this garden, but that will wait until next week! We did have breakfast out here this morning before the sweltering started again!
that is a lot of progress louise - looks good!
the heat will help ease the diet :)
Pixie they were here at 7:30 last night... so excited for halloween now!!!
good progress. On your way back to NH you could stop by & weed our garden???
Wow, great weeding job even in all that heat.
Very nice, Louise! A nice cool drink is in order.
Can't Hank learn to kill the weeds with his javelin??!
One more shot of the lady.
Louise I am so sorry I forgot to comment on the great work you got done... too excited about halloween.. pumpkin on the brain!!!.. but it looks great!!
50 now going up to 59...
Victor here are a couple to match yours.. from 1995
we were in a 4 seater plane
Cool! I don't like small planes.
50 and cloudy.
Clocks this weekend. Ugh - I thought it was next week!
I love Maine, did I say I love Maine? I do. Glad to live here, will not complain about a dusting of snow before Halloween again! EVER!!

overcast and temps will get into the mid-fifties. will be burning a lot of brush that i've cleared out this afternoon -
Victor I don't like planes at all... but given the chance to fly in this thing... with friends.. couldn't pass it up
62 and sunny for now. It's supposed to have showers later, hopefully AFTER the football game. It's DD's last one as she's a senior.
Still in the 50s & DH is out running over the leaves with the lawnmower. Many more leaves to come, however.
Cloudy 57 high of 60
Cloudy and chilly...I think it's supposed to rain on the trick or treat'rs tomorrow
It was cloudy & 57 here today---the sun peeped out a half hour before it set---yep, showers here tomorrow, and DS & his crew here for dinner tomorrow night--yipee. Ten kids? I'd be insane---can barely watch my 3 GKs. Don't know why I had such an easy labor---maybe because I was planting daffs & making grape juice just a few days before.
Thanks, Guys! Allison - your focus is where it should be! I hope you and Randy are ready for tomorrow night! Enjoy!
Iris - I can barely keep up with OUR weeds in 2 states! LOL
I had to take Hank to the doctor today.....he stepped into a fire ant hill on the golf course 2 days ago and had a ton of bites; after 2 days, a secondary infection set in and his leg started swelling. Whew....glad we got in to see a doctor today. Serious stuff! Miserable too.
Feel better, Hank! I'd probably be dead if that happened to me.
Weeds in one state are enough for me.
He's lucky, Victor. He has a serious allergy to bee stings and uses an epipen for that after a life-threatening event years ago. We did not realize that the fire ant venom is in the same family. He had no serious symptoms until today, strangely, except for the stinging locally. He is on antibiotics now, along with some other meds and a helpful cream.
You're a smart lady, Iris! LOL
owie, I hate those fire ants...I stepped on a fire ant hill when we were in FL when I was about 3 or 4, my parents threw me in the hotel pool.
Hope he's better soon.
Wow - scary, Louise.
60, dark overcast and drizzle. Yucky day for the kids.
supposedly 70 a bit of a nasty wind though so is cooler by feel.
Thanks, Jen! He thinks they are a bit better today and he had a better night last night. He's keeping his leg elevated for the swelling. This is a shot of his ankle.... Pretty dicey-looking, huh?
I started a "DonnieBrook's Subtropical Adventures" thread just now, so please stop in from time to time so I can share our garden adventures here with you! Here's the link:

OMG, Louise---looks awful---hugs to Hank! In the mid 60's here, very overcast all day, but I've had the windows opened---feels good.
Wow! Best to Hank. Stick it out the window today!! Great to scare the kids. ^_^
Thanks, Marilyn!
Victor - that's a great idea!! Guess who gets to hand out the candy???? LOL
so sorry to hear about Hank... hope he feels better soon!!
How did the kids like your extravaganza, Allison?!!
just posted a long post on the coffee break thread... some loved it and some were not sure if it was all ok with them.. but most were going crazy... heard comments like "this is the best house EVERRR"... the little boy had a christmas morning sound to him when he said it... made our night... Randy and I want to set up a microphone down by the street so we can hear what they are saying... would be fun to be a fly on the wall.. I am still not sure if the parents love it more than the kids do.. at one point we had 15 adults just standing there watching while the kids went house to house on our street.. one of our neighbors was asking advice on how to set some things up .. they must have stopped by 5 or 6 times in the last few days... makes us feel good
Great!!!
