Ketch-Up Day

 

We voted Thursday. Woot. Woot. The line wasn't bad. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. For those in the states, let us know when you cast your vote.




 AND

This is such a hoot.  When you are working, it's easier to track days. Especially if you work Monday-Friday.  What's normally running through your mind is: How many more days till Friday. Right? Once you retire, as the HH says, "Every day is a Saturday.":) Or as the cat folks say, caturday. So he bought, what I'm going to call a retiree's clock.   It's great:) It tells you what day it is, what date it is and even if it's: morning, afternoon or night. 😁


 AND

Remember this guy, we picked up at one of the grocery stores a couple of weeks ago?

 

Last week they were giving them away. 

Which is definitely better than pitching them, but I can't help thinking a little bit of water would have gone a long way towards keeping them saleable.



I gave them a good soaking then put them in the ground. We'll see if they are still around next spring.


AND

The last Irises of the year.


AND

A hydrangea's fall color.

Our iris are just starting to bloom. I may show some of them next Sunday.
We had an election here on Saturday. I voted (early).

That clock is fantastic. I've been off work sick for a couple of weeks (nothing major), and I started losing track after a couple of days!

I'm sure you voted correctly.
I like the clock. I do at times forget which day it is.
I think the plants will thrive.
The hydrangea must be shaded. If exposed to our summer sun, the petals would be brown and crispy.

Advance voting started yesterday in KS. Not sure my vote will do any good because all six of our state votes will go to Trump. This is a blood red state. That's one reason why I am in favor of getting rid of the electoral college so my vote can truly count.

A little water and a bit of misting would have gone a long way in saving this plants.

Hi Sandra - well done on voting early ... I'm so glad our lines are practically negligible - in fact I don't think I've ever had to queue. The Autumn flowerings are lovely ... the miks are beautiful ... to water or not to water - that is the question! Cheers and happy week - Hilary
