SISTER

It's a crisp 29 degrees in TN this morning! Good day to put on some long-johns and get outside. Family of deer just walked by the window…and lots of birds are singing.
Have a good one.

SISTER

SISTER

Friday, March 25, 2016 7:45 PM (P)

Good Friday…
had storms yesterday; but sunshine this morning. Saw 'Batman-v-Superman' at the Drive in last night; liked it a lot. Starts slow but has a legendary feel if you know what I mean.
Have a good day!

SISTER

Saturday, March 26, 2016 7:34 PM (P)

Another Shiny day in TN
Have a great one!

SISTER

Sunday, March 27, 2016 7:00 PM (P)

SISTER

Tuesday, March 29, 2016 6:49 PM (P)

Happy Tuesday…weather's perfect for working outdoors today.

SISTER

Wednesday, March 30, 2016 7:09 PM (P)

Wednesday…nice now…storms later.

SISTER

Thursday, March 31, 2016 6:05 PM (P)

A nice soft rain today; glad I got some things planted yesterday.
Happy Thursday!

SISTER

Friday, April 1, 2016 6:24 PM (P)

Rain turned HEAVY last evening….no tornadoes but it was a wild night!
It's Friday feel free to enjoy.

SISTER

Saturday, April 2, 2016 6:54 PM (P)

Wow…we had a lot of damage from the flood waters that we didn't see until yesterday.
Gonna be cleaning that up this weekend.
Enjoy yours!

SISTER

Sunday, April 3, 2016 7:57 PM (P)

..some things you need to call the big guns in for.
I cannot move several tons of gravel that have washed into the field from the driveway.
Help to arrive next week.

SISTER

Monday, April 4, 2016 7:03 PM (P)

Big gun, gravel moving guy will be here today or tomorrow to assess flood damage.
Otherwise…great looking day out there…
Enjoy!

SISTER

Tuesday, April 5, 2016 6:37 PM (P)

Going on an adventure today….marching through the woods to try and determine what's changed upstream that caused such a damaging flood here; gotta, or our neighbor is going to sue US for wreck his side of the road!! Sheesh.

SISTER

Wednesday, April 6, 2016 6:10 PM (P)

The woods were lovely, dark and deep….
Have a great day.

SISTER

Thursday, April 7, 2016 6:21 PM (P)

Poison ivy, ticks and mosquitoes…not to mention small rustlings under the leaves…AND finding a skeleton…
Interesting day.

SISTER

Saturday, April 9, 2016 8:16 PM (P)

A fun day ahead for me…gonna volunteer at a local dog rescue!! Hope my own dogs don't get too jealous!

SISTER

Sunday, April 10, 2016 7:31 PM (P)

Oh the dog rescue work was FUN! Gonna do that again…and the battle for the hot tub against about a billion ants continues!!
Have a good day!

SISTER

Monday, April 11, 2016 6:25 PM (P)

Monday again!!?? Weekends are too short and weekdays too long.

SISTER

Tuesday, April 12, 2016 6:35 PM (P)

It's Tuesday! Or, Hump Day eve!
Make it great!

SISTER

Wednesday, April 13, 2016 7:05 PM (P)

Some unexpected help in the yard yesterday…much appreciated!
Have a good day!

SISTER

Thursday, April 14, 2016 6:24 PM (P)

..paging Doctor Simon Tam….
I managed to really mess up my shoulder and one wrist working in the yard yesterday. Why can't moving rocks, dirt and mud be easier?

SISTER

Friday, April 15, 2016 6:18 PM (P)

YAY…Friday.
Had a crew out yesterday to determine what caused our flooding issue. They'll be sending a report.
Have a great day.

SISTER

Saturday, April 16, 2016 6:46 PM (P)

best weather on earth here this morning!
Hope all are well.

SISTER

Sunday, April 17, 2016 7:38 PM (P)

Whoa…Sunday…had a GREAT day of work in the yard yesterday…looks like more of the same today…best spring weather EVER!!

SISTER

Monday, April 18, 2016 6:15 PM (P)

Planning on more berry bushes…love playing in the dirt!

SISTER

Tuesday, April 19, 2016 6:34 PM (P)

Time to wash some windows and let all this lovely light in!

MAGDALENA

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 5:21 PM (P)

It's a beautifully sunny spring day here in Stoke-on-Trent, too, Sister! How are you? It's been ages!

SISTER

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 6:23 PM (P)

MAGS!!
I'm doing well…lovely spring here in TN. What a marvelous name 'Stoke-on-Trent'!! What's been going on with you? I have retired from the newspaper so I'm now a full-time gardener/reader/caretaker of spoiled dogs and the owner of the loneliest chicken in the world. Husband is good…and with the exception of a flash flood about a month ago, we're all doing very well!
Nice to hear from you!

MAGDALENA

Thursday, April 21, 2016 12:24 AM (P)

I am well, Sister!!

I am living in the same town which my Dad grew up in here in England, and am happily committed to a wonderful man from this neck of the woods! Being England I am not sure if we've had the best of the sunshine for the next 12 months! I'm working with children, but no longer a nanny... Poor chicken! I used to look after half a dozen or so on a farm in Kent and they definitely have personalities!

Everyone I know who's retired says they don't know how they had time to go to work, because they find themselves so busy!

Lovely to cross paths with you, again!

SISTER

Thursday, April 21, 2016 6:26 PM (P)

So nice to hear from old friends!
You all have a great Thursday!

SISTER

Friday, April 22, 2016 6:30 PM (P)

Well, Friday.
Have to return to the hospital today…got some kind of tick-borne disease that made my hands swell up like Capt. Kirk's in the first new Star Trek film! Didn't get 'numb tongue' though…
Have a great day!

SISTER

Saturday, April 23, 2016 7:31 PM (P)

Back to the hospital…they think it's either Lyme's or Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick fever…interesting sensations…not something I'd recommend to anyone, though.
What use are ticks anyway?

SISTER

Sunday, April 24, 2016 8:20 PM (P)

Wear bug spray.
That is all.

MAGDALENA

Monday, April 25, 2016 3:50 AM (P)

Oh no, Sister! Neither of those possibilities sounds good... I came home from a trip to the USA walking my then BF's dogs in the woods a lot, and we removed the odd tick during that trip... turned out I had a form of pneumonia, not Lyme's disease, but I did my research when they were talking about it and it sounds pretty nasty! I hope, whatever it is, they get on top of it quickly and as painlessly as possible!

SISTER

Monday, April 25, 2016 6:30 PM (P)

Thanks Mags!
I think I'm recovering pretty well…appreciate the good thoughts very much.
It's about planting time here in TN…so I'll be working outside today. I will be wearing bug spray, too.Have a great day!

SISTER

Tuesday, April 26, 2016 6:56 PM (P)

Tuesday! Back out to the garden this morning (wearing a tick Hazmat suit) before the rains come in later this week. Have a great day, 'coats!

SISTER

Wednesday, April 27, 2016 6:39 PM (P)

You know that thing, where old folks say they can tell if a storm is coming by their aching bones? Well, it's true.

SISTER

Thursday, April 28, 2016 6:41 PM (P)

See the doc later today…maybe he'll know what kin dog tick illness I have!! Fingers crossed.

SISTER

Friday, April 29, 2016 6:29 PM (P)

Well, it's not tick fever…it's lupus???? Heh…second opinion time!
Have a great weekend!

SISTER

Saturday, April 30, 2016 7:46 PM (P)

Big storms headed our way later today…gotta get the outdoor stuff done quick!

SISTER

Sunday, May 1, 2016 8:53 PM (P)

Kinda cloudy this 'Sunday'….hope we get just a little more rain.

SISTER

Monday, May 2, 2016 6:24 PM (P)

Monday…been threatening rain all weekend…but nothing! Guess I'll have to water the plants and get my car washed in order to get any 'free' water around here!
Have a great day!

SISTER

Tuesday, May 3, 2016 6:34 PM (P)

Tuesday…sun is back…humidity is down…all good things

SISTER

Wednesday, May 4, 2016 6:16 PM (P)

Good Morning here in TN….cool and clear! Outdoors is calling.

SISTER

Thursday, May 5, 2016 6:16 PM (P)

Throw the Mayonnaise in the pool! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

SISTER

Friday, May 6, 2016 6:22 PM (P)

Happy Saturday!

SISTER

Sunday, May 8, 2016 8:41 PM (P)

Happy Mom's day…to all who are, and all who have one!!

SISTER

Monday, May 9, 2016 6:21 PM (P)

Looks like we could get some rain today….had hundreds of 'fireflies' in our field last night…gorgeous little bugs that make the yard look like it's decorated for the holidays.
Have a good day.

SISTER

Tuesday, May 10, 2016 6:26 PM (P)

No rain yet, but did get a good layer of mulch in the big garden…AND weeded the raspberry patch, got the scratches to prove it!

SISTER

Wednesday, May 11, 2016 6:34 PM (P)

RAIN, finally some RAIN!!
Happy dancing gardener!

SISTER

Thursday, May 12, 2016 6:00 PM (P)

Planted four trees, a Linden, sugar maple and two gingkoes….two boomerang lilacs, and three blueberry bushes yesterday! Thanks to my friends who came and helped!! Happy Thursday!

SISTER

Friday, May 13, 2016 6:20 PM (P)

Two dogs to the vets for their annual exams…two more to go!

SISTER

Saturday, May 14, 2016 7:33 PM (P)

Bright, cool day here in TN! Getting MORE things planted.

SISTER

Bright, cool day here in TN! Getting MORE things planted.

SISTER

Sunday, May 15, 2016 7:22 PM (P)

Dirt play is fun…but not when you're trying to plant stuff in dirt harder than cement!! Couldn't even crack it with my new favorite garden tool, a pickax!!

SISTER

Monday, May 16, 2016 8:05 PM (P)

Had to take our baby girl to the vet's this morning….allergies. Thank heavens it wasn't more serious!

SISTER

Tuesday, May 17, 2016 6:26 PM (P)

Taking myself to a rheumatologist this morning…gotta figure out what's causing all the 'fuckowies'!

SISTER

Wednesday, May 18, 2016 6:33 PM (P)

Viruses can cause very painful arthritis 'attacks'…just so you know!
Have a great day!!

SISTER

Thursday, May 19, 2016 6:11 PM (P)

Taking two stinky dogs to the groomers today…..Much more pleasant evenings ahead!

SISTER

Friday, May 20, 2016 6:26 PM (P)

The Friday of fresh-smelling dogs…so of course it's supposed to rain today…ah well!

SISTER

Saturday, May 21, 2016 10:04 PM (P)

Heh….didn't rain..just misted a bit. I guess we are in a drought…just means me carrying more buckets of water to thirsty things.
Have a great day!

SISTER

Sunday, May 22, 2016 6:44 PM (P)

Sunday…lobster is on the menu tonight!

SISTER

Monday, May 23, 2016 6:25 PM (P)

Tennessee surf and turf…venison and lobster! Better than it sounds…have a great day!

SISTER

Tuesday, May 24, 2016 6:09 PM (P)

Hump Day EVE!!

SISTER

Wednesday, May 25, 2016 6:10 PM (P)

Hump day..and I will be hauling buckets of water to newly planted things. Where is the rain this year? Anyway, have a great day…a holiday weekend is ahead!

SISTER

Thursday, May 26, 2016 7:56 PM (P)

Could I get some good Browncoat wishes for my dear little sheltie girl who's going under the knife today? Fingers crossed!

SISTER

Friday, May 27, 2016 9:03 PM (P)

Thanks, everyone!! She's good.
Have a wonderful Friday!

SISTER

Saturday, May 28, 2016 7:39 PM (P)

Saturday…on a three day weekend for lots of folk!
Make it a great day…whether or not the weather cooperates!

SISTER

Sunday, May 29, 2016 8:33 PM (P)

We've got the steamy weather here…now, some nice rain would be appreciated. Don't mean to mess with weekend plans, but I'm getting tired of hauling buckets of water to newly planted things.

SISTER

Monday, May 30, 2016 7:30 PM (P)

Remembering.
Have a good day.

SISTER

Tuesday, May 31, 2016 5:57 PM (P)

Ahhhhhhh….gotta love those long holiday weekends!1
Hope yours was a good one! Had good friends over last night…saw Mars up close…not a bad way to spend a day! Have a good one.

SISTER

Wednesday, June 1, 2016 6:34 PM (P)

Baking in the heat here in TN…haven't had enough rain so it's bucket brigade time this morning!

SISTER

Thursday, June 2, 2016 6:13 PM (P)

..of course, after dragging BUCKETS of water…it rain last night…but hardly enough to disturb the dust on the hot tub cover, so I guess my work wasn't wasted!
Have a good Thursday!

SISTER

Friday, June 3, 2016 6:33 PM (P)

We had a good downpour of rain last night…so no bucket brigade today!! Save my arms and shoulders…yay! It's Friday, so make it a GREAT day!

SISTER

Saturday, June 4, 2016 9:06 PM (P)

Whoot!! Saturday…and we got another good rain overnight…sun's out now, but we could get more rain this evening; so glad I don't have to haul water! Have a great day.

SISTER

Sunday, June 5, 2016 9:12 PM (P)

Good morning, 'coats. Expecting a friend back from vacation this evening which will be great. Enjoying Sunday with an eye toward 'Game of Thrones' tonight!

SISTER

Monday, June 6, 2016 6:25 PM (P)

We had a big fog this morning…couldn't see across the field!! Found a birds' nest full of eggs in one of my flower pots…nature is awesome!

SISTER

Tuesday, June 7, 2016 6:46 PM (P)

Tuesday…gearing up for Bonnaroo in the town northeast of us…staying far, far away!

REAVERFAN

Tuesday, June 7, 2016 9:22 PM (P)

I'd like to go to that. But, I'm old and can't get away as easily as I used to. I'll see Dead and Co. once this month and twice next month. That will have to do!

Times are hard for old Deadheads, but we at least get a little taste of the scene now and then.

SISTER

Wednesday, June 8, 2016 6:16 PM (P)

Hey, Reaverfan…I do feel your pain! What would we do without our music! I jut can't handle the crowds! Have a great day!

SISTER

Thursday, June 9, 2016 6:16 PM (P)

Friday EVE!! Buckle up!

SISTER

Friday, June 10, 2016 6:21 PM (P)

Finally…it's FRIDAY!! Lots of heat expected this weekend…luckily, a friend has just opened her pool for water-buffaloing…so that's on the agenda!

SISTER

Saturday, June 11, 2016 6:57 PM (P)

Took a while and help from a friend but I got EVERYTHING watered (except the veggie garden…that's next)..after that a retreat into A/C and a mountain of laundry!

SISTER

Sunday, June 12, 2016 7:09 PM (P)

Hot…Africa hot….need a pool.

SISTER

Monday, June 13, 2016 6:15 PM (P)

Orlando.

SISTER

Tuesday, June 14, 2016 6:15 PM (P)

A steaming hot day again today; so plant watering this morning and a few errands later.

SISTER

Wednesday, June 15, 2016 6:28 PM (P)

Thunder booms and rain today…no bucket brigades needed….
thank you, very much!

SISTER

Thursday, June 16, 2016 6:18 PM (P)

Does anyone NOT believe in global warming? Weather forecasters calling today, "Dangerously hot and humid." Don't recall that happening much before…Also do a quick scan of record highs; found that most of them were within the last ten years here. Becoming 'Earth That Was' faster than thought.

SISTER

Friday, June 17, 2016 6:40 PM (P)

Got to 103 yesterday…supposed to be less hot today…we'll see. At this rate I will be watering plants in the dark because I am not going out in the heat…I'll explode.

SISTER

Saturday, June 18, 2016 6:48 PM (P)

Still hot…Hugh Middi and his little dog ditty have backed off some, though.

SISTER

Sunday, June 19, 2016 7:28 PM (P)

Happy Fathers' Day!!

SISTER

Monday, June 20, 2016 6:08 PM (P)

Monday….that's all you need to know.

SISTER

Tuesday, June 21, 2016 6:16 PM (P)

Tuesday…found a box turtle in the backyard!

SISTER

Wednesday, June 22, 2016 6:20 PM (P)

Wednesday…Chicadee eggs in one of my flower pots have hatched! It's a wildlife wonderland here! Now I just have to keep my dogs away from the baby birds.
