CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[drstratton]

Got the neighbor to his eye surgery and back home, this mornin'....and pretty much relaxed the remainder of the day.... ....hit 91 here today so wasn' t "raring" to get out there in it.....tho, there is a "project" that is fixin' to get done...so, gotta get some materials to work with and get started....I reserve the definition to "project" as of now, but it'll be a Big Surprise..........I can certainly assure ya of that....🤣

When I took Gabbie out I noticed some blooms on one of Joyce's plants....I think it is an amaryllis (sp?).....
View attachment 74101.....this is a 2yr old plant....usually a house plant, but can be put in the ground here....the gingers are coming on and can't wait to show ya the flourescence and bloom from them, really unusual...oh, and the squash is beginning to push up the ground...and grn beans are producing well....even the bell peppers that overwintered, are still blooming and producing.....

I love surprises...😉

That Amaryllis is beautiful! 💞

Veggie plants never overwinter here, sometimes I would like to be in a warmer climate! 😊

hit 91 here today

Hit 71 here and was sunny. Felt pretty hot

I think it is an amaryllis

Those are "one and done" here. SOMETIMES you can get them to bloom a second year but mostly they are given as gifts at Christmas so probably forced and have nothing left. The leaves will come back up the next year but flowering is unlikely.

.I guess it is fair to say that summer has Arrived!!

I guess it has sort of arrived here as well. Not only did I turn the thermostats off, the last 2 times I used the oven I closed the door to keep the heat in after the food was removed and the oven turned off. Sure sign it isn't winter anymore. It was 78° and sunny yesterday. Felt kinda hot, sure glad it wasn't 98°!

We are still having temps in the low to mid 80's the last few days. We need to get an HVAC tech out this week since the AC is having to work way harder than normal. It couldn't bring down the temp under 82 until after the sun went down yesterday.

We got a bit of a break today...mostly cloudy and only made it to 89, but really humid....we were inside this evenin' and I told Joyce we needed to go to the store....I surprised her and we got sundaes at DQ..... 🤣 ....sure didn't want to get out in the "madness" tomorrow...

 

[Mike CHS]

We went to the store this morning because we won't be going anywhere tomorrow but I can't remember the last time I had a sundae.

We finished off a half gallon of Blue Bell ice cream. Tomorrow we won't be going anywhere.

I am from Canada and well central Alberta. I don't know how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in my head. Although we have only reached about 22C here so far this year and it's almost June. I don't think I could handle hot weather? We get a few days in summer of about 32C and I sweat my butt off. Don't need AC here really. I shut the windows, close the curtains and turn on the basement summer fan. Plus regular fans are placed around the house.
