Another Record Temperature Day and randomness

I wrote up my to-do list and a rainy day list as well.  In fact, I went to get my felt I need to finish an on-going craft, and could not find it.  Another item lost in the shuffle.  Good grief. 

One daughter was heading to pick up a friend and stopped in the craft store for me thankfully.



Solar batteries arrived, so those are now in the pole lights.  They sent me this free keychain.  It's a very bright, mini flashlight.  So cute.  It's going in my keychain collection.  Did you know I collect keychains?  I haven't added any to it lately, but this will be added.  I wish I could find a place to display them all for the public to see.  


Sometime around dinner time, and right after I locked up the chickens, this cat showed up.  Very healthy, very friendly, tried to come in the house.....most likely dumped.  A male.  I put the photo up on social media on a lost pet page.  No one has claimed him yet.  Sad.  The weather will start to get cold, and I cannot keep it. He is obviously an indoor cat.  People make me sick.  Just because we have barns does not mean we need more barn cats (he is not an outdoor cat either from what we can tell).

Zuri ran after it, and we thought it ran off.  Later it showed up again.  I sure hope it either finds it's way home, or someone takes him.  He'll drive the dogs nuts and that will not be fun taking dogs out.

Yesterday was 78 degrees and windy.  Nice day for hanging clothes on the line.  The sun was not out much however.  Only one pole light charged.  I hope the sun is out today.

We too hit the high 70s. Such cockeyed weather! But with the warmer weather came rain again so no outside projects and we have a ton to do.

Dumped animals have always been my pet peeve!
Cockeyed Jo, we got rain last night too. Too wet to do much out there today, so I'm inside tidying up.

Hang those keychains on a small tree like a year-round Christmas tree. When we used to travel, I always got a keychain as a Christmas ornament from everywhere we went. :)
Hummingbird, that is a great idea! Thanks!
Mary, the cat is so friendly, it has to be someone's pet. I'm still trying to find the owner via social media. I hope to find them soon too. My barn cat isn't liking it, nor the dogs either.

What a shame poor cat. Hopefully he will be claimed. What a great idea to hang the keychains on a tree I am betting that will look spectacular.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
