Good afternoon everyone. Another perfect May day with sunny blue skies. It's gorgeous out with temps in the mid-70s. I'm almost finished with my first new mystery. It's taken longer than I anticipated because she gives so much information of how nuns of the 16th century England lived (takes up at least half the book), but I don't mind - history buff that I am. We're having a weekend long celebration of Memorial Day starting today - arts & crafts show, food tents, firewors, civil war re-enactment, etc. The official home of Memorial Day is only a few miles from where I live and they go all out to celebratee it. They also have a field of American graveside flags set up next to major east-west highway for every US soldier who has died in this area. People come from all over to celebrate the holiday here.
"When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd" by Walt Whitman as an elegy to Abraham Lincoln
What could be more fitting for Memorial Day weekend.
I hope you're having a sunny Saturday.

Good morning femme and friends. It's raining, thundering here just at the time that most of the area Memorial Day parades asr starting. Of course, there was nothing in the forecast that said anyting about the rain. As usual. It they forecast rain, it doesn't and vice versa. ]] I'm now ready to start my 2nd mystery, Peter Tremayne's Prayer for the Damned, set in 608 A.D. Ireland. The background for this series is fascinating. It seems that there was a rival for Rome's control of Chritianity in Ireland. And one of the major differences was the celebacy concept: Rome for, Ireland against. The differences between these two Christian churches are fascinating and I must admit I much prefer Ireland's. And eventually the Reformation did too.
Happy Memorial Day
I hope everyone has a lovely Memorial Day.

Good morning everyone. Well the storms yesterday ushered in cooler weather today. I lost power twice for 10-15 min. but otherwise survived unscathed. Now we're back to more normal May temps in the 70s. And that's fine by me!! Delphinium x 'Knights of the Roundtable' or mixed delphaniums

Good morning It's been raining off and on ever since yesterday which fits my mood to a "T" - gloomy. Ah well, good day for curling mu with a good book. Since I'm still not feeling up to par, I'll probably nap on and off all day!! Tired--Good luck today. I hope everything goes well for you. Kelly You are a marvel at finding things that make me chuckle out loud!! Thank you.
The month of roses - June.
I hope your Monday isn't maddening.

Good morning everyone. Today looks to be a fairly nice June day. Good for anyhing you care to do. Like sit on the patio/porch with a good book and watch the world go by. I've been watcing the French Open. They're at the quater-finals and so far the men's side is the usual suspects - Federer, Nadal, Djokovak and probably Murray. Ho-hum. The women, on the other hand, are varied, with all the pre-tournament favorites, except Sharapova, out of it. FS I love this
A rose by any other name............
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.

Good morning everyone. Another perfect June day so far. There's a forecast for thundrshowers this afternoon, but they've been saying that all week and nothing so far. Well, surprise surprise!! Rafa won his semi-final over Ferrara to reach the finals of the French Open. Next up Djokavich and Federer. I'm betting on Novak but hoping for Federer. But first we have rain.
Celebrate National Rose Month
TGIF everyone.

Good morning everyone. It looks to be a rather warm day here with temps in the mid 80s. There's a slight possibility of thunderboomers but they say that every day and nothing happens. I'm watching the men's finals of the French Open and I'm disappointed in Djokovich. I figured that he would give Rafa more of a game. And now they're in a rain delay. It looks like the fires out west are getting worse. People are missing in the Colorado fire which is 0% contained and in New Mexico, the fire now cover 10,000 acres. I hope everyone that we know in those areas are in no danger.

Good morning everyone. It's threatening rain or raining today. Not one of June's better days. Nothing on my to-do list today, so back to my reading (or napping). Anyone going to watch the US Open golf tournament? We just had an LPGA major here at Locust Hill in Rochester. A Chinese woman won - the first Chinese to win a golf major.
Celebrating roses
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday.

Good morning everyone. Still a beautiful June day but it's getting warmer. I think I'll be using the a/c today. Right now I'm anxious to get back to my J.D. Robb myster, Kindred in Death. I'm a little over halfway through it, so don't expect to hear very much from me.
National Rose Month
In thoughts of Oli, TGIF

Good morning everyone. As you can see I'm back. Had some kind of stomach bug that laid me low a couple of days. I'm still feeling rather weak but otherwise OK. Hopefully, as the week goes on I'll be feeling stronger.
A rare rose indeed.
I hope you all have a nirthful Monday.
Good afternoon my UK friends. As you can see I'm back. Had some kind of stomach bug that laid me low a couple of days. I'm still feeling rather weak but otherwise OK. Hopefully, as the week goes on I'll be feeling stronger. Pod- -I wonder if maybe, just maybe Spain is having bad weather when Pip doesn't post. Hmmmmm? who- #cathugs# -Thank you for your concern. I had a nice phone call from IIF that he said you initiated.
A rare rose indeed.
I hope you all have a nirthful Monday.

Good morning everyone. Today is supposed to be HOT all over the northwest, some places reacing 100F. I've got the a/c going and hope to keep things comfortable.
I don't think I'm going to survive this election year. I'm already fed up with the whole thing!! A plague on both your houses is my mantra for the rest of this year. I'm getting tired for those stupid "timed out" messages. This has been going on all week. It's time that those proboards geeks get their act together!!!
I've got 7 more books to go - two by an author recommended by beags and two by who (I'm really looking forward to who's - Crowner John series set in the days of Richard I of England). Added to two J.D. Robb's later entries in the "In Death" series and a Mercedes Lackey book in her Valdemar fantasy series.
And more roses.
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and 1st day of summer!!

Good morning femme & friends. The weather has certainly chaged overnight. It's cloudy with temps in lower 70s. Much more comfortable all around, even if it dows rain. femme-#wink_smile#-I have to have my Dunkin Donut coffee every morning, but with them, you can get hazelnut, French vanilla, toasted almond, etc. flavored coffee by itself. So to save on calories, you can use milk instead of the flavored creamers. Have any of you been having trouble posting, getting the infamous "timed out" message? FYI, FS posted the following on Crapsters this a.m."
My reading is going slower than I thought. I'm only halfway through my J.D. Robb mystery. I got Stephen Hawking's The Future of Spacetime in the mail yesterday. That will definitely take more time to read then my usual fiction books. As the blurb says - "Where the science of black holes, graviational waves and time travel will likely lead us, as reported by spacetime's most important theoreticians and observers." I can hardly wait to start it.
Roses, roses, roses
TGIF everyone!!

Good morning everyone. It's another nice June day, pleasantly warm, sunshine and blue skies. I love this time of year. but most of all Have you read how they are blaming target shooting for the fires in Utah? You'd think, with conditions like they are in the west (heat, low humidity, winds) that people whould have more sense. Dumb, dumber, dumbest!!! And just to round things off weatherwise, we have tropical storm Dabby (?Dabby?) threatening the Gulf Coast. As if they need more rain right now!
Is there anyone left in the country that was surprised by the Sandusky trial outcome? Guilty on 45 of the 48 charges. He'll be spending the rest of his life in a cage. I wonder what the other prison inmates will make of him? Hmmmmm.
And more roses
Have a super Sunday everyone.
