    Hello, Porch Peeps,

    It's Thursday September 16th already! Time is flying!

     

    @LaDolceVita …I’m happy for you that you have settled in to more comfy temps. We have been up and down. Had the AC on yesterday as the humidity and “feels like in 90’s” were so uncomfortable. Today they say rain, with only a high in the 70’s. But, unfortunately, the humidity is still hanging around.

    I actually had goose bumps when I had coffee on the porch earlier. It was a combination of cooler temps and humidity that was doing a number on me. HA!

     

    My bedroom wall came down yesterday, but my stepson, God bless his soul, didn’t have to move the bed to the living room! He put up a great plastic sheeting wall and covered the bed with plastic. He also hooked up my TV to the other side of the room since I can’t go to sleep without the TV! I’m weird about that, I know, but I do need my sleep.  My living room and dining room however, have a bunch of the bedroom stuff all over the place and really look discombobulated.

    Have you ever seen this really cool zipper tape? It lets him have access to the addition through the plastic sheeting! I had never seen anything like that before.

    This is so cool!

     

    Hoping everyone is staying safe and having comfy weather.

     

    @DaveMcK …not sure how your Packers did Sunday, but the Eagles had a big win over Atlanta. Go Birds!

    Remember when?

    Somewhat back Friday 17th, it’s been a weird week? Had rainstorms come through and even a touch of PA. 5% chance of tornadoes in ME.

     

    Removed the AC from window when it looked like Kansas outside, didn’t feel like chasing it through the woods.

     

    Saw twister formation (almost) on news, took that as a clue. AC is out and can stay out and off.

     

    @catwoman500 

    Yep, have seen the zipper plastic, used similar when removing asbestos in 70’s-80’s. Then graduated to using it on side porch on rental house up here.Wanted a warmer sunroom over winter.

     

    It worked! T-shirt weather at 0* outside but, on porch was 70*🤣. Also cut down on heating bills my first year in Maine in old uninsulated house👍.

     

    Enjoy all

    And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

    There is nothing more spectacular than a morning sunrise to usher in a new day.

    Hi,  it has been a rather dull week, nothing new in my world.  Weather has turned humid,  had to turn air back on.  Temps are low to mid 70s and lots of rain.  Still eating from the garden.   House about halfway to completion, picked out floor coverings.  Went with the most water resistant and wear resistant.

    Monday 20th -I think fall is coming even to Maine. 70’s by day, 40’s at night. Don’t miss the AC!

     

    Yesterday took a drive to explore my own town, passed a herd of 🦬 Bison -WTH. Think I’ve been in lockdown to long, don’t remember passing them before. 

    @RosemaryF433825 

     

    Despite the rains this year, our temps have been to cool for the little buggers to hit full force. Not too many skeeters 🦟 or black fly 🪰 to contend with.👍

     

    @LaDolceVita 

     

    Bet your looking forward to new home.

     

    @catwoman500 

     

    To closure on your new addition to home.

     

    About all I’m planning on doing for next few weeks is playing in woodpile, think I’ll need it.

    Howdy, Porch Peeps!

    Weather is good here until Wednesday when we are due for a couple of days of rain. Then it clears for the weekend. Started out in the mid 50’s this morning, and now at lunchtime, it’s 73, not going too much higher. Low humidity, too.  I’m loving the good sleeping nights with the window open and the comforter pulled up. Not too sure about tonight, since the second new window was put in today. Those windows are so huge, and now with no curtain/blind, I may have to ask my stepson to hang a beach towel over the window. And no screen yet, so this could be iffy.

     

    @LaDolceVita …sorry about your humidity returning. We got hit with that a couple days last week. Happy you are still getting veggies. I just cooked up a big container for the next few days. I look back to the days when I could garden and tried a bunch of different things like broccoli, eggplant, and even peas. When we first moved here there was even rhubarb growing at the back of the property. The last time I had a garden here it was just tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and basil.

     

    @RosemaryF433825 …Bless you for helping out with the friend whose relatives are not close by. Ugh about your mosquitoes! That would “bug” the heck out of me for sure. When we were in Alaska, we saw mosquitoes that were so huge, they were thinking of naming them the state BIRD! Knock on wood, but since I don’t even go outside at night, I haven’t been bothered by any, but I did read where in the next township they were going to do some spraying like they used to do back when I was a kid. They put out an advisory to stay inside and turn of the AC between certain hours. I remember that smell.

     

    @Frozenoem …Bison? Real live bison? Did you take a left turn into “Yellowstone Land?” Are you sure they weren’t moose getting ready for Halloween? Maybe they were making a movie. LOL.

    Speaking of which, Adam Sandler is in Philly today shooting a movie that is supposed to be set in NYC, so there were NYC cabs in the news clip I saw. So many street closures it was ridiculous. Bet all the drivers were annoyed.

     

    So…that’s about it for me right now…time for some java.

    Take care, all.

    @catwoman500 

     

    Had to do a double take when I saw them usually feed in a higher pasture surrounded by trees.

     

    Found the farm on FAcebook I think?


    Bison 

     

    I knew we had Arabians and Morgan’s (horses) Cows for dairy but, Bison since 2003 came as news to me.
