Cool Sunday Morning

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening to all who venture here.

Up early even tho it was a LONG day yesterday. Party on the patio for about 10 friends. Too cold for them to linger until the late part of the day, which I have to remember for the next party- might be a good thing.8-))

They decended on the groaning board like starving people, about cleaned me out of everything, which either means it was very good or they are big eaters. In any case, I had very little leftovers. What was left I sent home with the guest of honor.

BFF showed up early to help with everything, which was only to carry bowls out. We had everything ready and folks were slow in showing up. It’s hard to keep two London broils at the medium well stage and still have them hot enough to serve when you have late comers. We ended up with some more than medium well meat. Didn’t seem to bother very much.

The hubs is home for a week so I expect there will be some gardening work done tomorrow because that might be the only dry day this week. I need him to take some pictures of various plants he enjoys while he is here. His selection of trees and shrubs is certainly eclectic, which fits right in with our garden and lifestyle. If we like it, somehow it will fit. He needs to take a pix of “his” ice cypress tree.

Everything is still very wet from all that rain we had, and again we are going to get more. At least the rivers and streams have dropped back to safe levels. People have lost everything as some homes were flooded to the second floor and some over their roofs. One family had their second floor deck pulled off the house and the entire backyard removed from the property, causing the home to be condemned. Well. builders will build anywhere, even on the edge of a good sized hill. The homeowner said on TV that his home insurance would not cover it as it was flood damage and he had no flood insurance. I don’t understand how the bank lent him the money wihout making him have flood insurance if that area was flood zoned. But then WHAT do I know?

There is the pressing question, did I ever post a pix of a backyard planter with plants that I have no names for… NOW the thing I thought was a creeping jenny is flowering, it’s beautiful… and nameless. Of course he would ask about that one! told him I would check with ya’ll! Seemed to please him- at least he isn’t bugging about it any more. The dog is keeping him busy- good dog.

the weather has taken its turn for fall early, we will have some rain this week, and cooler temps afterwards. So far the windows are staying open, AC off and the furnace off too.

But good news. Hershey Park, which was badly flooded opened Saturday. Someone we know went, so we will get the report about damage and appearances. Should ya’ll be interested in Hershey Pennsylvania Google it—- great garden – Hershey Gardens, the park and of course the chocolate factory. If you get really interested Google Milton S. Hershey- he was an interesting guy.

enough travelog for the morning. Off for java and laundry. yum and ugh. Have a great Sunday.
