Kat, enjoy your final nice days of the year. I've never planted pansies before and have always wondered about them for winter. Maybe that is something that could survive here, since it will be winter and no grasshoppers to devour them before they even get a good start. Those crazy plant fiends are in their death throes right now. I few can still hop but most are tumbling around, unable to get up and going. Turning dark in color. Eventually they just stop in their tracks.
Sexton, the fill-ins for Sundays may not be the cream of the crop of employees. I talk with people who own all kinds of businesses and they all say the same thing: reliable employees are almost a thing of the past. Your taco shop sounds wonderful. If I had places like that near me I'd be their most regular customer!
In these small towns around here new restaurants are constantly opening and then closing in less than a month because they can't get anybody to work for them. Either they'll quit after a few days or just not show up half the time or whatever. People are becoming conditioned to not working. I understand not wanting to work but now there are so many who don't think they should have to so they don't. It amazes me how many people are able to live without working.
Wilde Woman, yea on a day without rain for you! Your flowers are beautiful.
Robin, a disco party, lol. I bet the people whose house was visited didn't think it was a fun party. Poor beast, having to endure the vacuum cleaner. I feel the same way about them. I wish I could go for a day out and somebody would come vacuum my floors!
Squirrel, well that was a big "oops" on the part of the school. I hope you got done what you needed to do and were able to leave by 2:00.
Poirot, here I am, dreading that we are supposed to get down into the 50s* and 40s* for next week and you're talking about snow! Ugh, but of course it's hardly ever snow here, but ICE.
For this week, we have varying possibilities for rain throughout the week, except for Thursday. We did get an inch of rain last night, which is greatly appreciated. But we need 3-4 times that much to get us back to normal. I've enjoyed the cloud cover today. So much easier on my eyes. But I'd miss the sun after a few days of this.
