Our last frost date used to be April 14th but it moved up a week. For the next 10 days the forcast low temp is between 47⁰ and 63⁰. The new walkway the kids put in the garden makes it nice.

Is this normal for B&H? I agree they are a great store. The line is crazy long!

I think it's the portal that is contributing to problems. Arkansas had a great recruiting class this year. We beat Purdue in an exhibition and Duke. The team just didn't jell. Also effecting football. I think it's part of the reason Nick Saban retired.

Simular experience. When the total eclipse happened it was like someone turned on the air conditioner. Now it's hot again!

Photos don't do it justice. Here was the effect of the partial sun shining through the chair. Started getting dark, cooler and quieter. A shot with the 10x camera. Not as nice as actually seeing it.

About 45% coverage now and it is getting cooler 😎

There is about 20% coverage here now. My chair tilts back perfect for this.

It surprised me. He has done well so far. If I was burnt out, I wouldn't take another job. I was happy to see Musselman leave. He was too much of a whiner for me.

A while back we started hardening off our garden plants. Sharon's older DB came to visit this week and helped plant the garden Saturday. We planted tomatoes 🍅 A couple of buds have already popped out. And the traditional bed of peppers with cherry tomatoes on each corner. Here is the garlic we started last fall. It's doing good. Should be ready to harvest the first of June.

Speaking of eclipse, a week ago we celebrated a few family birthdays. My oldest DD made some eclipse birthday cupcakes!

That stinks. Right now we have thin scattered clouds. It should not effect things. I am thankful how warm it will be and that the path of it goes over our town.

I woke up at 5am and it looked like the eclipse had already started. 😆 The hourly forecast shows it to be 80⁰ an hour before the eclipse gets here and then dropping to 75⁰ then back up to 80⁰.

The cookies look great. It's been a long time since I’ve seen buckeyes made!

All of your Japan photos would make a great photo book. Maybe think about it. Great memories!

That's probably what the ref thought in that split second. The ref ..... I better call a foul so we get the highest rating possible! 😆 OH, and Clark will make the finals! Good thing a foul happened so the ref could call it and get their way!

Not only 21 points, she had 9 rebounds. That's pretty good for a 6 footer. I agree that it was definitely a foul. If the foul was called half way through the game noone would be complaining or even remembering the foul. If the foul wasn't called and UConn scored Iowa State fans would have had a legitimate complaint. Why should a foul be ignored with 4 seconds left?

Two weeks ago I was home alone and about 1pm I heard a load bang and the house shook. It sounded like lightning hit the house but it was sunny out. Later we read many other people heard it. Noone knew for sure what it was. Some guessed a military training plane breaking the sound barrier. The plane they described sound like a refuel plane that would not break the sound barrier. I remember in the 1960's we would hear the booms from planes in Columbus Ohio. They later stopped the planes from flying low over resident areas.

When we lived in NE Arkansas we felt a couple earthquakes in 4 years from the New Madrid Fault. Since we moved to NC Arkansas maybe 2 or 3 in the last 38 years. I don't remember one in the last 25 years.

Maybe I should of said tearable. Some don't catch ..... I forgot the punchline of a boxing joke.

I didn't tell my pizza joke because I thought it was too cheesy! And my paper jokes are terrible. I do have a great boxing joke.........but I can't remember the punchline!

Getting close to done. Here is what its looking like right now.

Thanks 😊 for the Happy Birthday wishes! Although many of the family was here yesterday, they all plan to be here next weekend to celebrate my birthday! Sharon's DB and wife came to spend a few days with us. Friday Sharon spent hours leveling dirt between the garden beds. Yesterday many spent time finishing the leveling and then laying down pea gravel. Today they are spreading sand over the gravel, leveling the sand and then adding stepping stones/pavers. It's all in an effort to make it easy for me to ride my electric chair into the garden! What a loving family. Lots of work!

If you do get out when it's raining cats and dogs make sure to take pics, people here love pics of cats and dogs!

These were taken October 2021 from the tall slide. Good memory!

Thankful it went well for you! I hope you have a quick recovery! The hydrocodone works great for my kidney stones pain.
