Traffic In The Valley Is Getting So Congested!

This morning I had to make a trip to the beauty supply store. The normal time is 15 minutes. Today was insane. I always get in the lane I will eventually make my turn. I don't like crowding in between cars. I was on a five lane road that eventually turns into 6 lanes with a right turn lane. The... Sign in to see full entry.

The "Big Boys" Need To Be Called In!

My irrigation guy, Matthew, sent a text early this morning. He was a bit ill. I told him it was fine he didn’t need to come today. But since he said he would, so he came. He changed out the diaphragm and lo and behold it was not the problem! He had tried everything he knew to do. He said it was time... Sign in to see full entry.

We Have Survived The Vicious Storm!

The Boise Airport recorded 51 M.P.H. winds at the height of the storm. I truly thought my trees were going to break. The cherry and blue spruce took the brunt of the winds. Some areas got more than an inch of rain and experienced flooding. Luckily I'm on the bench so it would have to rain for... Sign in to see full entry.

A Rarity Oddity In My Valley! Severe Thunderstorms.

Right now we are experiencing severe thunderstorms. It's rare to get rain in June let alone a severe thunderstorm. The cold front from from Alaska is the cause. I know many folks on Blogit get crazy thunderstorms but when you aren't used to it, they are scary. The 60 mile an hour winds are... Sign in to see full entry.

Puzzled Again!

Jessica had a color today so I stayed home. I got my steps in and worked on my latest puzzle. I didn’t realize she had sent a text in the morning. I rarely look at my phone when I'm working on a jigsaw puzzle. She called when work was done. I asked about the ultrasound. I thought at first she was... Sign in to see full entry.

Normally, I'm Not A Calorie Counter! If I Ate Fast Food I would Count Calor

Sonic Drive-In is roughly a half mile from my house. This morning I didn't feel like making breakfast. I went to their menu. I selected the Supersonic breakfast burrito with tater tots and black coffee. I was astonished at the calorie count: 950. Plus, in almost every area it exceeded the... Sign in to see full entry.

Rainy Saturday In The Treasure Valley. Big Drop In Temps, Too!

We got up to 93 degrees yesterday. It's 1:30 MST now and 66. That is such a crazy temperature drop. My body has such a hard time acclimating to the weather changes. There's a dry thunderstorm forecasted and that is a scary thing because it starts wildfires. Hopefully the rain we got this morning... Sign in to see full entry.

Major Scare This Morning, Inside And Outside My House!

Chris came by after work to mow my lawn. My son suggested cleaning the oscillating Rainbird maxi-paw sprinkler. After the lawn was mowed, edged and sidewalk blown off of clipping we began the process. There were 5 sprinklers. Ironically they were clean so that eliminated that as a cause for them not...
