End of the Road Farm
Hopalong:
Is it possible his kidneys were damaged by very bad music?
I know.
I'm evil.
Want you to be somebody's Viking PRINCESS, and minimal communication from your basic ungrownup...doesn't sound like what you deserve....(first takes, not fair I know, mind open....)
Big hugs
Hops

Oh, I know Hops. I'm not terribly emotionally invested in our "pen pal" situation either. No idea if there would be a spark, meeting face to face. And perhaps that doesn't matter either. I think we're both looking for an easy companionship, he & I. Not a lot of expectations, or hoops to jump through, just talking... like two grown-ups. Even if he does have different taste in music. Mike was a big Hendrix and Zappa fan... neither of which, I can endure for a whole album. But there was plenty of music in common we liked too.
Hey, I've sent him theme music from Outlander - in Gaelic! LOL. And some Steeleye Span. And Nick Cave. So the music compatibility isn't a make/break issue, as it shouldn't be. I don't like a lot of Holly's music either. And it's not like musical taste defines a lot of pieces of important character.
At least the viking isn't "emotionally needy" - LOL. I can respect that. Within reason of course.
sKePTiKal:
It seems like I haven't updated the goings-on for awhile. But it was y'all's turn to be busy I guess, while I cowered in misery & lethargy from the pollen and basically didn't do a thing during the days & days of rain. The pond is so full, the dock is almost underwater.
I've cleaned the worst of the pollen off the porch that is my second living room. I've started cleaning the pollen off the windows - it was in the 90s here and I finally broke down and turned the a/c on, but it's since cooled off to barely 70 now - so I can leave them open at night.
Real early this morning, the power company showed up to install the meter and turn the rest of the barn wiring over to the electrician. Of course, it's been raining the last 1/2 hr - it's breezy and chilly too - and the guys are in their trucks. This is the hurdle I needed to get past to keep that project moving along. Plumbers rescheduled moving the water hydrant back closer to the barn, too; till Monday.... because of the rain.
So I've been stuck inside and not doing much. Removing pollen from the INSIDE of the house - LOL. Washing. Re-watched all 7 seasons of Game of Thrones again. LOL. I can't find anything at all I want to watch on Netflix or my live wifi channels. My roses are still in 1/2 a 5-gal bucket of potting soil and most of the herbs in their 4 in pots. It's just TOO wet right now. The roses are really starting to leaf out, so I've got to get a plan together for where I'm planting them. That dump truck load of dirt doesn't look like enough for what I want to do! But I will use it all before I make that call. The nursery still owes me a truckload of compost - but since it's mushroom compost I guess they have to wait for the mushrooms to get harvested before they have that much again. Then, he said he'd bill me. I just realized I haven't paid him and when we talked - he said he knew where I lived. LOL.
So, I guess I'm still just puttering around inside at organizing the downstairs, clearing it out for flooring (in July), and cleaning. Till it dries up enough around here to mow & move dirt.
Hopalong:
You awe, awe, awe me.
I'm going to offer to share this morning's poem by PM if you like, let me know...
Believe it or not, it could be called, Why Don't I Work Like Amber? just as easily! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Hugs
Hops
lighter:
Oh, clearing those hurdles, Amber! It's marvelous to read as I sip coffee on the old time seawall this morning, facing the Atlantic. YES, and yes to finding places for your roses soon. I find I do best after researching for days, then sitting things out in patterns, thinking on it again, then re checking morning v afternoon shade patterns, winter leaf patterns and so on. I'm still trying to find the right place for neighbor's glorious green Hydrangea bush gifted from her huge healthy specimen. She has the perfect shade and sunny spot I don't share in my yard.
Anyway....so excited for you. Moving ahead again...
Amber leading End Of The Road Farm expedition. Yes😀
