It's Good Being Me


I & 2 was sitting at the computer doing some writing and had the TV on when all of a sudden I turned around and decided to
redecorate the room. I really wanted to put the sofa-bed on the wall
opposite the windows, between the kitchen and hallway to bathroom and
bedroom but it was just a little too long. I put it under the window and
moved the table and chairs against that wall. Whereas I use to move
every 5 years now I start redecorating my place every 5 years! LOL

3 A & B The Dollar Tree flower seeds are doing great but so far no beets (3 A) and no turnips (3 B) so far--I am not giving up---yet!

I don't know if other cities are doing what Fort Lauderdale has
recently started doing--they cover their electric and water meter boxes
with various scenes adding to the neighborhood. The one above (picture
#4) is near the downtown garage across from the Broward Performing Arts
Center and it is a map of the downtown area. Right now they are just
doing it in the center of the city but hopefully they will spread out.
It is a lot more colorful than plain green or gray metal boxes.

Hope
everyone is having a great day.  We are breaking record temperatures
with it going up between 90-94 degrees but the humidity isn't too bad.
The sun is out and the sky is clear while there is a cool breeze from
the ocean.

LIFE IS GOOD FOLKS!!!

Looks roomier for some reason.

We are such creatures of habit, aren't we. I'm going to redo my family room this summer and I'll probably have the same problem.

About the same--but now at night I have to be careful where I walk until I get use to the table and chairs being where they are!!

Looking great. We only have one way to decorate our place due to the small size...but heck we make it work!

Move a table around every few months!!!

Yes, our town had artists paint the electric boxes, and many of them are very clever and fun to look at because they'll pick up on the surrounding area, but it isn't always obvious how, so it's like the Before and After of your living room - takes a minute to see it. We have one of those boxes in our front yard in Las Vegas. Maybe I'll figure out what kind of paint and paint something clever on it (ignoring all the signs that say DO NOT TOUCH THIS BOX).

Well, technically, you won't be touching the boxes--the paint brush would be! (Don't hire me as a lawyer!!!)

No, I think the rule is just for Delaware County NY. The eastern side of the mountains is way ahead of us.

I know the rules for tomatoes are the opposite of the north!!!
reply by greatmartin on May 26, 2013 8:20 PM ()
We're not setting records, but there's a chance of frost/freeze. The rule is, no planting of tender vegetation until after Memorial Day and there is good reason for the rule!

94 humidity not too bad
comment by jjoohhnn on May 26, 2013 7:05 PM ()
Does that rule apply to South Florida?????
