Wow!! 32º out having coffee out on the deck with the neighbors dog. (he is 13years old) Global warming is coming up in the East over the Blue Mt. alway nice feeling the first rays of sunshine when it is coming up. It will feel like 70º out inless the 30min. They say it will get 70º out today, now that will be nice. We will get some rain off and on this week, will be nice for the dry farmers up on the high ridge. Our flowers are coming on so it will be nice for them also. Will turn the out side water on in about two weeks I think.
This will be a very, very hard day, but as Elfie would say. Someone has to do it. Hope you enjoyed your R/C/Weekend MeLady ;D
Sounds nice and nippy out today!
It is a gorgeous day over here... Sunny, 60 degrees with two doors wide open. Missy (my lil Jack Russell chasing me around, hoping for a mid morn treat) Chico Tito (my daughter's tuxedo male cat) following in hot persuit too. Both are ready for action as I go and come from outside. I have been pulling weeds and still doing a little raking, but my plants, flowers, trees are budding. Spring has been in the air for several weeks now.

I think Spring is about 3 weeks away for us yet.
Now we have a cat called
The Dude. We should have call her the Tasmanian Devil, she thinks she runs the house. (Sometimes I think she does also) ;D

Walks, do you have view of the mountains from your house?
Mrs. Mouse and Mrs. Kay, are allergies hitting you guys yet? I feel like a gnome drilled into my brain and his turning it into scrambled eggs.

Yep!! The Blue mountains are only about 80+ miles away in Oregon as the Crow flies. Right now the top half are all white with snow. I have a 180º view of Oregon and the Blue Mt. from my back deck. I can see up the Columbia river for about 25+miles and down about 15+miles. We sit over 500ft above the Columbia river on the Washington side over looking Oregon. ;D
Its most likely mold, and more than likely your house is the culprit.
Look for any spots that are consistently wet, it only needs a few drips an hour to be a problem.

Yes! Last Friday, I had to take some Zyrtec in the morn and Benadryl before bedtime. I also took Benadryl Saturday night too. (I believe in Benadryl.. It is very safe.)

Hmmm... Solar, the South has been receiving its fair share of pollen for (at least) the past couple of weeks.

But I've been talking to Taxed for the last month or two, and he sounds like he has a perpetual cold.
Thats why I suspect mold....

Wow! Y'all out west have real mountains. We have the Apps, but they don't get quite as high as yours. They are still pretty for the scenic drives and to get away, but I would LOVE y'alls mountains.

Plus, my eyes are dry all the time naturally, and during this time, it just gets worse. My contacts just pop out from dryness sometimes.

It has been nice for the past few days... It was raining a few days ago. It has been in the 50s-60s, and dropping to the 30s-40s at night...

Also, I'm very jealous!!!! Forgot to add that...
And Solar, it's just that time of year down here when it starts picking up... In a few weeks we will be caked in a thick blanket of yellow...

Ughhh same here. I have millions of Doug Fir trees around me, and when they decide to dump, it happens all at once.
It can get like yellow snow drifts inside you car if you don't keep it closed up.
The worst part is, I have to physically wash all my solar panels, because the pollen is sticky, and literally cuts the light in half.

Yes! it gets into everything... and when it rains, it turns into a yellow paste.
Ok, Dr Solar.
Since I am the pro in the allergy dept, does he live in an apartment or a home on a concrete slab or a conventional home? (conventional = raised wood floor)
This question is important in reference to your mold prognosis.

If you go North, South, East or West in my state you must cross a mountain, there are 15 mountains and 3 volcano.
On a clear day you can see Mount St. Helens.
But good luck this time a year.

Those are incredible Walks. I would love to live up yonder that way.... Is it like in the Twighlight movies?
Well, it's Wednesday now, we've been blessed with beautiful weather this week. We've been outside most of it. Mr. Mouse has informed me that he's going to build me a front deck (finally), so I now have to move my front flower beds. It'll be nice, though, I've wanted one for a long while.
I wish we had mountains down here, we're flat as pancakes in south GA. I would love to travel to the West to see y'all's beautiful scenery. :)
Bring a Poncho, we had another 3" of rain last night. ???
That translates to more than 3' of snow for Tahoe and the ski resorts.

We did Tahoe once, the good wife did not like that
Very Narrow Road way up top side. She would have got out and walked but there was no room for opening the door she said. lol She said if I go on that road again I am on my own. I said WHAT? you don't really wanna see what is on the other side.
;D ;D ;D

@ MM~ Oh, but you have beautiful... and I do mean beautiful Spring Gardens!
You really should head out in a motorhome when fuel goes down and you have the time. We went all around out West for 2 weeks and it was indeed gorgeous and memorable.
Lake Tahoe was pretty, but that Ouray, Colorado was HEAVENLY!

That's our dream, to purchase an RV whenever Mr. Mouse retires (might be awhile, tho) and just drive. I want to see the Pacific Ocean from California, to visit Yellowstone, to go to where Custer bought the farm (my ancestor was there), to see the Rockies, and so on. So many places!
Well, yes, our area is very nice, but to look out your window and see mountains...*sigh*...it's why I laugh every time some liberal calls us hillbillies. There ain't no hills round here... :)) ...just call me redneck, or cracker...I'm perhaps a wheat cracker. ;)

Trust me you can not do a trip back West and do it justice in two weeks. It takes us a month or two, just to do one state justice. But then I am retired and have a 30' 5th wheel. So we park and do day trips all around for a long as it takes to see the area and then move on, and start all over. For the most part we stay away from the big cities. If we go it is a day trip only. For the most part we do the back roads. That is where you can see the real quality and beauty of each state. But then we have also been out as long a 9 months at a time. And have yet to pass the Mississippi river. LOL

I am in shock when the Northerners call us hillbillies... The highest hill around here maybe be pressing to reach 100 ft tall. Ummm... I doubt it is that tall! We have small, gentle, rolling hills. You arent aware you went over one of these hills unless you are on something like a bicycle... peddling! Basically, we are in flat country too, MM.

LOL well for 5 years we took are young grandson for 2 months at a time, but now he is thinking about girls. And we always take The Dude. :o
Hmmmm... "100 ft tall" :)) you call that a hill, when we talk about walking up a hill we are talking around 1000 ft or more. There is a small hill that goes up for about 26 mile and its 2500 ft. and it all farm land.

So is The Dude happy to go on trips? Is she a good car rider?
These 100 ft tall hills around here are not steep-- gently rolling hills!

The Dude is very happy on trips. She was only 5 weeks old when we got her after a very bad rain storm that almost kill her. She owns all of the back seat. lol But she like the center arm rest in the front the best. Her first ride was home for 75miles in my shirt pocket. She even likes riding on the 4 wheel ATV if it's not raining. lol
