Loordy, Lourdy the COUCH is 40....

Send him to my house.... that should keep him busy til Monday

Work from home SNOW DAY here.
the 1-2 inches the predicted early Tuesday became a foot of drifted snow overnight. We are under a travel advisory meaning we are not supposed to go out unless it is an emergency. Everything is shutting down. Thank goodness my neighbor plowed out my driveway. This morning I could not get out my back door! The drift was about 4 feet high.

Pictures Sconnie, I miss the snow.

Coming soon... the camera battery is charging
I miss mowing the lawn... We've had a horrible February here.

It's a double edge sword... I miss the beauty of a perfectly manicured yard, but hate the fact that it grows.

Granite, can you go to a craft store and just look for new ideas?

We had about ten inches of snow last week and another 13 day before yesterday and today. I have my work at home so I'm just hanging out until marriage counseling later.

Oh funny story, yeserday, part way through the snow storm, H and I were discussing how much snow there was. I said at least 10 inches and he was arguing. He came back in and said he had a totally inaccurate picture in his head of what 10 inches looks like. I was like, yeah, most men do.

this was the side of my house last oct when we lost power for a week

Rainy day here in New England....but not very cold. Sorry you're snowed in Sconnie, at least you have power? I can see my lawn because all of the rain has washed away the snow. Salt air and snow don't get along well together. Salt air is winning.

I sent the dogs into my daughter's room. She came home last night after being gone for 4 days. I want her to get up so we can play.

lol lol lol lol

what ya going to do today

My lawn is never manicured... I just like digging in the dirt instead of the snow

Just realized my house is cold because the thermostat is programmed to go way down during the day...

Ugh - I actually started to fall asleep at about 8 this morning. I may not have been able to sleep much, probably only a couple of hours, but I was jolted awake about 30 minutes ago by the loudest noise ever. I have no idea what my neighbors are doing, but it is definitely with a big contraption.

Try being OCD about the lawn in 105 degrees..... I wish mine didn't have to be manicured

ty

Granite: can you watch a movie or two? Something stupid and brainless?

Speaking of which...a friend and I went to see Identity Thief last night, and I laughed out loud several times. It was pretty funny. Not hysterical comedy of the year, but enough to take your mind off the fact that people were in your house leaving skin cells everywhere.

Morning all. Granite - do you like to read? I am probably going to take a good book to a coffee shop and wait for my appointment.

I like cutting grass - it is very immediate gratification for me. Shaggy weeds=not shaggy weeds. But I only weed whack or other things about once a summer. So not manicured. I have someone come and do the garden part once or twice a year.The dogs trample everything so I only have weedy, hardy type things..

I may have to bribe her with Sephora and Jo Mama's. (Her favorite combo).

H likes manicured, which is why we are looking for a place with what's called a "sea yard". That means sand, sea grass, scrub pines, etc. The place we are looking at now has a small green house attached...that will work for the both of us.

(it also has an incredible view of the salt marsh and bay area)

i use to do that bribe thing with my son to spend time with him lol.still have to when he comes home on leave lol. he will be heading to toyko on the forth no comming home first

Aforementioned salt marsh...

This sounds heavenly.... any pics? oops we cross posted.

I don't have actual pics of the house. I just have that one that was on the web site.
The yard is small, only about .25. But fenced in, with lots of wild berry bushes. The front yard is lawn though.

I don't know why, but saying or hearing weed whacker always makes me smile. When my oldest Nephew (6 now) was three the only thing he wanted for Christmas was a weed whacker. To my surprise they actually make toy weed whackers so he was a happy boy. He weed whacked the entire house after he opened the gift. (I am now much more content since I got to say weed whacker so many times.)

You know we should open a thread to place messages from the current members to old members in case they are lurking...... Like an MIA thread...

Wiki - that is gorgeous.
