Good morning everyone,
Its another hot one here, so i am heading out soon to water, then i am off to downtown Toronto.
While i am out watering, i am taking Natalies new puppy, Diesel out with me, Dan got him for her, and his landlord wont let Diesel stay at his house until September, so Diesel came here....man it feels strange having a puppy in the house again.
He's part golden retriever, black lab and australian shepherd....what a cutie!!
Bailey and Ginger arent too impressed though, neither was i when he had me up at 3:45 this morning(lol), but Nat did get up with him.
Well i am off to water, take the puppy out, and drop Kait off at work, then heading to Toronto....so have a great day all.

Good morning everyone,
Its another HOT day here, feel like thats all i have been saying....and no rain until the first of the week, and fire bans in place!!
I have a couple errands to do for Brad around 9am, and need to get out and water, so i'll take puppy man out with me and wear him out....we kept him on the deck lastnight and wouldnt let him sleep, he went into his crate at 10:30 lastnight and slept until 5am today!! Of course when he saw me and was excited, be peed before i could get him outside. I thought i would get up with Diesel because one of the girls from Natalie's bridal party was in labor all day yesturday and Amy had her baby around 3:30 this morning, so Nat was with her and didnt get in until 4:30, so i let her sleep.
Well i am off to finish my coffee, and get dressed, since i was up at 5, already showered.....so have a great day everyone.

Don't know about Bella, either, but I did have a chance to tell her that I named our new kitty after her. Good Morning! Red, proud of you going back to school. Yea!! It's not easy, I know. I went back with 5 little ones and the oldest was 10. Whew! But it's worth it in the end. That was in the days when you couldn't do anything by computer; had to show up for class with a pen to take notes.... This was Saturday market and we were there, unloaded and set up by 7:30. Had a few customers and then the skies opened up and it rained so hard the water rushed into the covered shed/building thingy where our tables were set up. I was wearing Crocs and the water was up to the top of them and kept filling in all the little holes..... Needless to say we came home early; finally gave up when everybody else started leaving and they decided to close the doors to the building since it was only us, the meat guy, a honey guy and a watermelon guy left. We need the rain so I'm not complaining, but now most stuff will have to go back into the cooler until Wednesday and not all of it will be as pretty as it was this morning. Oh well.... Enjoy your day! Rozie

it's trying to rain here Penny, although not terribly successfully yet. Still, the weather forecast has changed from no rain in sight to a few days of showers. We need it drastically. My raspberry canes, lovage and blackcurrant bushes just aren't getting enough water even though I water the blackcurrants every other night.

Good Morning, folks. I'm going "treller" shopping today. (That's Southern speak for mobile home). Anyone have experience living in one and did you like it? We're thinking of downsizing to a one level house that's easier to manage. Enjoy your day! Rozie

Rozie,
I have owned several and lived in several. Right now I have 2 rental units ... a 3 bedroom and a 2 bedroom mobil home.
What do you want to know?
Some thoughts off the top of my head ... don't get one with the appliances installed as you are paying interest on those appliances for the life of the mortgage. You will pay much less if you finance appliances seperately, and really save a lot if you already have your own appliances paid for ;D
If you get one of the newer doublewide, and you have your own land, pour a pad to set it on and leave a 2' crawlspace for the plumbing if you can. If not, have the support piers set with concrete bases so that they are stable.
There are some really cute double wides and I would definitely look at one of those for MIL if I had the money LOL
When the house is "set" be there when they close up the "seam" to be absolutely sure they use the waterproof sealer!
Otherwise, the only thing I would have to say is that most modular housing is made from oriented strand board and that stuff just absolutely melts when water gets to it, so keeping the inside dry is the biggest maintenance you can do to extend the life of your home. So, when installing phone/cable/etc. be sure to use sealant and collars on the outside.

Good morning everyone,

Today could be the hotest day on record in Ontario, with some area's seeing *50 degrees, or *122 farhenheit!!
I am off to the mennonite`s this morning......so have a great day all.

Good morning; another hot one here, too with storms in the afternoon. We've had some amazing lightening and thunder lately. Whew!
Try and stay cool, Penny. We don't have much of a lawn; it's mostly pasture grass and the daily sprinkles are keeping it green and growing. It's a pain in the patootie to cut, though.
Annclaire, thanks so much for your input and advice. We looked at a double wide yesterday that was gorgeous and we're seriously considering this house. The stairs in this one get harder to manage every day; I dread going up and down them.
Enjoy your day. I'm going to my sister's house for the day. We've been canning, canning, canning.... peach preserves today.

Hi all,
Had to deep water today and been back to cooling the foliage midday and late afternoon with the 100+ temps we are back to.
The okra is putting on, the cucumbers are going nutz, and the maters are still flowering and setting fruit, the black diamond watermelon is about half the size of a basketball and the cantalopes are almost as big! I have baby peppers on almost all the pepper plants.

Good Morning!
We have a bird nest on our front porch with one baby that's about to fledge. This morning we sat on the porch with the kitty and puppy while we drank coffee. The mother bird fussed at us the whole time. She would fly low and flutter at the kitty and chatter and swoop. The kitty was oblivious; she was much more interested in the humming birds. Finally, the mother bird gave up and flew off to look for food.
Puppy and I are going to obedience school this morning. It's our 4th week and I'm learning how to behave, LOL! The puppy is learning, too, but this old dog (me) is having trouble learning new tricks.
Penny, hope you have rain, soon. We have showers every afternoon. Just enough wet to turn the air into a sauna and mildew and mold all the plants.
Enjoy your day, everyone.
Rozie

Good morning everyone,
Its a little cooler today...not by much, yesturday was HOT, around *107.
We had rain, for all of 5 minutes lastnight, not even enough to wet the hanging baskets, so i need to get out and water in a bit.
Had a busy weekend, and this coming week is busy, lots of errands for Brad, Saturday is another Shower for Natalie, and Elvis is in town this weekend too, so might walk down and check it out....maybe.
Anyhow.....the washing machine just shut off, so have a great day all.

Can't have too much manure! Good afternoon. Spent the day canning with sister; more peaches and green beans. She is so talented. She cross stitches dust tops for the canning jars. She does a dozen or so a night while she watches tv. It would take me a year to do one.... LOL!
