I got a lot of cherries. But I prefer strawberries in salad.

Welp, looks like I shoulda checked the weather earlier. Thunderstorms headed this way. Maybe they'll be done by 5...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went to Target after lunch to pick up some things for Mr. S.(forks, spoons, sippy cups and sunscreen) Now he's napping.

Sleeping in this morning paid off dividends in a dream about making a 1960s Disney live action/animated musical starring Kristin Chenoweth and Thomas Jane. There were singing guinea pigs!

The gray alley kitten seems to have overcome her fear of me and decided that my hands are food. She won't stop nipping at them when I pet her (but she's purring and trying to catch my hand with her paws, so they're clearly not get away from me! bites).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

YAY DANA!!

Since I had semi-unexpected overnight guests--Cousin contacted me Thursday afternoon about spending Friday night over-- I am trying to build upon my quickly cleaned up house and do deeper cleaning/clearing.

My living room really did get into presentable shape easier than I thought, but that means a lot of stuff I need to deal with got put away out of site.

Thus far I have almost managed to clean off the table beside my chair. I also scrubbed and bleached the kitchen sinks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am also in cleaning mode. Taking a break just now, soon will be scrubbing the bathtub.

Aw, kitty! And nice dream, Matt.

Hooray for sold house!

Also, I am amazed at Jesse's lightning trip to the beach!

Coding and Sleeping

Gudanov, I just read the last dozen or so posts on Building a Better Board. I know I have said it before, that I don't really understand what you are talking about - that I appreciate your hard-won knowledge and all the work you are putting in, bears repeating. I'm sure people who do know what you are talking about appreciate it even better.

Thanks. I wish I could just charge ahead and get it done, but I have to keep it a back-burner project right now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wah, strawberry season is over! Peach started but the first week is usually disappointing.

I've heard this will be a bad year for peaches. As a kid I always picked strawberries for my grandparents in August. How is that season over?

Depends on your location. These are Delmarva (& PA) farms. Strawberries are MayJune. The market provides a helpful guide to when things are usually in season here [link]

I think my swim is gonna be stormed out. I shoulda paid attention & gone earlier. If it's not letting up in time, I guess I'll start oiling furniture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother swims now, and the place she goes is inside, but with a retractable roof! I think that's so cool.
