The forest ranger was an 18 yo volunteer :bawling:

hehe-- uh-oh! I am rereading my post that was written Pre-FP and I was hoping for butter and gravy. Again, I am sooooo grateful for what I get at the FP, but by the time my order was filled, they had run out of most of what I needed. I was able to get eggs, dog food, and laundry detergent but...

My next-door neighbor took these photos last night: This is 1/2 mile from my house. 2000 acres. Please let it rain tonight. It won't be much-- only forecasted for 1/4 to 1/2 inch but anything is better than this. :praying2: It was an unsettling day yesterday. All day we heard helicopters and...

I read that too- that some of the "older" fires are resparking. I am not sure how that works but it it so bad. All good thoughts to you that the Livingston one doesn't restart! :hug2:

Thank you! My FB feed is practically nothing but photos of the fire closest to me (~3 miles away). As of the last NJ Wildfire update, it is more than 2000 acres and still 0% contained. It feels literally and mentally very close to home. Several state and county parks are closed, including one...

As well as rain. Honestly, we need rain more than anything. The whole state is erupting with brush fires and wildfires. yesterday there were three, now there is another one, 0% contained, just a few miles from my house. There a a large fire two towns south of me, and one in Mahwah which is the...

@BrightEyes I hope that your temps stay above freezing so the roads and sidewalks can dry off and be clear of any ice. I'm so glad that your electricity is underground as the tree branches were coming down. Sheesh, that was lucky of you to show the electrician the other ceiling fan and I'm glad...

Good morning and happy weekend! I already read yesterday's posts. I usually don't read them first but oh boy, I am glad I did. You ladies made me LMBO! :giggle4: You are all the best-- so funny! I am feeling better today than I was yesterday at this time. I am digging deep to be more...

very moody and so much depth to this page, Nonni, Love the word strips in her hand!

beautiful photo! I love how you clustered the flowers as if they were the next step on the butterfly's journey!

I hope you know I am reaching a hand out to you-- I know that feeling. You expressed yourself incredibly well and in such a fantastic, creative way!

this is stunning! I love the quilted look and the photo is framed perfectly!

@BrightEyes Silver lining for my mood-- I could live in NM and be dealing with all that snow. thank goodness for small favors LOL! How much did you end up getting? I'm glad that you are snug inside your house, be safe if you have to go out for anything! @MariJ I shouldn't laugh but you going on...

Happy Friday, my lOvely oOoos! :heartpumppink: Another day, another moment of panic/exhaustion/panic/resigned exhaustion. Think more coffee might help? :coffeedrinker: It didn't yesterday, but it was another warm and sunny day which was at least a plus. Felt good to go for a walk with my...

Such a pretty photo and page! I love the watercolor paper!

Thank you - it doesn't always come across but I really am an optimist, see the good in everything kind of person. ♥

This truly feels warm and cozy-- it has a friendly Pioneer Woman kind of vibe too!

This practically grabbed me by the throat, such a powerful message and a creative way to share it. Standing O #27 (PS: It was 76*F in New Jersey, close to 80 in New York City, yesterday. That's thirty degrees above normal and it hasn't rained since September. not a hoax... :( )

You cannot look away from this page by @Wimmeke , it is so powerful!

@Su_Sanne Did the nail polish come yesterday? I love the green color so much! I hope that you pop in here as often as you can. Pictures of your dogs are also appreciated :) @BoatLady Your day with the club ladies sounds wonderful! What plants we you gifted and did you decide where to put them...
