Feeling Chatty

[Carrie Farmer]

Our dogs love going outside too and they much prefer when we go out with them.

What a huge difference! The snow and ice in our yard to the green grass in yours. Wow!

Was overcast and a drizzle of rain today. Tomorrow the forecast is 76 and cloudy. I am so glad the weather has started to warm up. Next ten days highs are in mid 50's to upper 60's. My arthritis will hopefully be better.

Yesterday we gave away hundreds of pounds of food at our church. Bacon, hamburger, steak, eggs, cheese. It was a great success, only had very little left. One of our guys took the rest to two different food pantries in town. It was my day off from the store but I wanted to help distribute the food. Had a great time with my church family.

I would have enjoyed that, too, Nan.

I posted this in the co-op chat, but wanted to post here too in order to explain better.

My crafting has been very glitchy lately. Some days it will work like it should for an hour or so, then I start having problems. Some days, I can craft items for co-op goals, one of the quests, but not other quests. Or I can craft things for the helping hands but not co-op goals. It's been very frustrating. When this happens, my power and ingredients are used up, but no completed items.

Today, I wasn't able to craft anything until just now. I was able to craft that mini bbq that you have to post for skewers in the quest where we have to raise and train the animals (forgot the name, sorry). So, today I was able to craft one thing.

I've cleared my cache I don't know how many times now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FV2 and it's still happening.

Support is no help, as I don't seem to exist to them. I think they might have blacklisted me for asking to remove too many neighbors in the past. But that's probably just my conspiracy theories acting up.

Thankfully, I did have a co-op order that popped up already fulfilled, so I was able to get one order done.

At least with the inconsistency of this glitch, I might be able to craft stuff tomorrow.

Well, I have been busy today. I worked at the store for a little while. My main goal was to box up a few leftover Easter items. Then my sister in law texted that she was dropping her Shih Tzu off at the groomers (across the street from my house). She wanted to take me out to lunch, so I cut my work short. We tried the new Mexican rest. in town. It was terrific.
I came home and changed the sand in my pool filter, hooked everything up. I didn't get it started cause one of the fittings had cracked so I just stopped.
Mowed most of the backyard, came in house and did a load of laundry. Then I decided I was done for the day. Been watching TV ever since.
Now it's past 10:30 so I guess I will call it a night.
I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter (for those that celebrate)!

Sounds like a very productive day, Nan. Happy Easter to you, too.

Gayle, here's the screenshot. In the pic, the Plant Nursery that's on my farm is just right of the watering can.

88 degrees today! We set a new record.

We had a snow storm 12 days ago that dumped 10 inches of snow on top of all the old snow. We had a mini mountain of snow from shoveling our back patio that used to be taller than me. Now it's less than knee high.

This pic is from February and actually smaller than what the snow pile was after the recent storm.

Kind of dark, but here is the snow pile this evening.

Our average high for this time of year is 55. Our low last night was 60-something, it will be the same for tonight and tomorrow night too. Tomorrow we are supposed to break another high temp record. Then, we swing to below average for a high of 42 on Sunday with a low of 32 and some snow thrown into the mix overnight. After that, back up to above average highs for several days with highs in the 60's.

I love watching the weather forecast. I used to watch The Weather Channel all the time before they added all the reality shows. Now, it just doesn't do it for me.

Poor pups are not happy with this weather. It's warmer than what I prefer too.

Okay, I'm done being odd --- um, actually no, I'm really not.

Well, my little furbaby Bear looks even smaller than his whopping 10 lbs. He went to the groomer yesterday. I had her cut him really close this time (his ears were a little matted). The weather has turned very hot and humid quick (today was 81, tomorrow is suppose to be 83). I feel better with the warmer weather. The damp, cooler days were murder on my arthritis.

What a handsome boy. I love the expression on his face! It's like he's saying "Yes? Can I help you with something?"
