https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/Every day is a journey and mine is busy and rarely boring.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/996034For whatever reason, our grass grows fast. It seems as though we need to cut it about every 4 to 5 days. We also need to weed the flower beds, trim along the walkway, and use a trimmer on the hedges, which we plan to replace with a split-rail fence one day. Anyway, we will take care of those...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/996018Tuesdays are our day off, so we usually do something fun. We are both fans of romantic comedies, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney, so the movie Ticket to Paradise hit all of the bells and whistles for us. The storyline is about a divorced couple who fly to Bali, Indonesia, to stop their daughter...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/996006Last night at around 6:50 pm, a tornado touched down in my Boro. We were sitting on our porch at the time, so we didn't hear the warnings on our cellphones, but we did hear a freight train coming from the west, over the river behind our house. As soon as we realized what was happening, we ran for...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995978I would normally prefer a sunny day, but the rain is needed. My rain barrel is nearly empty, and my veggies, herbs, flowers, and plants all need a good soaking. My only plans for the day include running to the store once the rain lets up to buy some deli meats and cheeses, and looking for sale...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995968It's a bit of a scorcher today, so we have plans of staying indoors where it is cool. John and I are fans of Mexican food, and nachos tops our list of dinner favorites, so I'm going to throw together seasoned taco meat, salsa, cheese, jalapenos, green onions, guacamole, and sour cream over...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995943If I had to choose one of my top five favorite foods to end a long work week, pizza would be #1 on the list. There is just something about the simplicity of dough, sauce, and cheese. Then comes whatever topping you are craving. From the ultra-supreme to the breakfast, Mexican, seafood, or ham &...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995925I know there are more people out there with bigger issues than mine, so I am being as patient as humanly possible while I wait for Xfinity to complete the job that will restore my internet. For the past month, I have had intermittent internet. Yesterday, a cable technician found a faulty outdoor...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995896Yesterday, I had a full house of woodland creatures visiting my yard, and the tiniest among them posed for the camera. At one point, there were five squirrels and four chipmunks, along with Mama groundhog and her baby. Chippy didn't fear my moving in to snap his cute little mug one bit.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995879The National Weather Service has now confirmed six tornadoes touched down in Pennsylvania on Saturday, June 6. I live in Allegheny County, which was totally missed by the active tornadoes, but the nearby counties of Washington, Fayette, and Westmoreland were hit hard. My granddaughter lives in...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sassyass_649112/995861One of the reasons I love the month of June is the flowers bursting everywhere. I have quite a few varieties of blooms in my yard, but some won't show their pretty petals until later in the month. The pretty orange Tiger Lilies will eventually be eaten by the deer who travel through our yard each...
