The Coffee House

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 72F presently ... feels like 72F :cool-48:

. Yesterday, Mary Lou and Gary worked in the yard. It was in the 80's but dry and comfortable. Mary Lou trimmed roses and trees (Avocado and Silk) and Gary mowed, edged and did a deep cleaning on the pressurized pond filter. Over the course of the two heat waves and some dead drip controller batteries, Gary has lost his tomatoes :cool-98:

. Next week when temps stabilize in the lower 80's, he will replant. The back is looking good and y'all are welcomed to come over to relax in the patio with a glass of vino.

For a quick lunch, Mary Lou made these peanut butter and grape sandwiches (not grape jelly but whole grapes from the back). It was quite good but look like a peanut butter - boba sandwich.

When i was just a pup. My Grandfather had a house up on blocks with a central ceiling fan. At night with a window cracked open a nice breeze came through.

5.55 hours today and 27.4x for the week so far.

It was suggested to me Wal-Mart might have a watch strap I'm looking for.
So I'm going to Livingston to look.

After of course I finish my chicken tenders and gravy.

Scooby doo’s woes continue. Found a tick on his shoulder and could not get it to come off. Took him to the vet and it was a skin tag!

Feeling like a very failed fur baby mama this week. Poor guy has a crazy lady trying to pull his skin off! Fortunately we used the plastic tick tweezers so no major damage done...still, he’s pissed.

Now, that's funny! I can just picture you, telling him to hold still and it will be over in a minute....meanwhile.... :biglaugh:

I never thought I would say this but how I wish for rain, just to cool things off a bit.....

Leftovers tonight. Chicken noodle soup and corn bread. The thinking is that watermelon is for dessert in a while.

@SquarePeg I think I saw you say you needed new glasses? Poor fur baby might agree with you

The rain we were forecast was for an hour of too of storms, but sadly it stopped raining after a few minutes and it is still hot and humid here.

We've had many inches too much here. Would send some to you and western US if I could.

I think all the gardens could do with a whole day of rain, as it is hard to find any green grass here as it is all scorched brown.

Slow day in the south, in the headlines here. Hogs running wild in Lipscomb, AL Myself I don't really see the problem, I see meat in the freezer, and BBQ in the future, problem solved.

Yep. Haven't seen any hogs officer. Care for some ribs? :barbershop_quartet_member:

As a young teen growing up in Kentucky, I remember doing a job for one of the local farmers with my cousin in a tobacco field away from the farmhouse and on an isolated part of the property. Before he left, the old farmer warned us to keep an eye out for wild hogs that liked rooting up his fields. I couldn't wait to finish the job and leave!
