Many thanks. I've seen suggestions to "sulfur" them that sounds scary.

Again, THANK YOU!

Good luck! I wanted to order the dried strawberries at the King Arthur catalog, but they are sulfured and I'm not sure what that means in terms of additives. I did my own strawberries in season with no additives.

Good moornning all. Time to wake up, join the world for another day. Have some coffee, cinnamon toast and orange juice. Read the paper, laugh at the funnies. Then jump in the car. Oh wait, the clothes. Don't they like footie pajamas at the office?

Hi Lyndy! It been in the 40's for the last few mornings. This weekend it's supposed to be in the upper 50's in the mountains for highs. It's really looking like fall now especially with the leaves coming down up there. We might get some good rain too Fri., I hope. I'd like to get in some fishing before the season ends.

I've been up!
Gotta let the dog out at 3:30 am for his morning ritual, ya know. grrrr!!

The kids are wound for sound today!! The puppy is getting into everything. I think he and the cat are in "cahoots" because the cat is knocking things off the table towards the dog.... or is he trying to nail the dog with the items on the table. hmmmmm...

Have a nice day!

Watching all the rain in the south from Isadore...yuck. I feel bad for all those people who are being flooded right out of their homes.

Rain from Isadore will be welcome in the Northeast after the summer drought we had. I can't imagine what 20 inches of rain would be like in the south.

Good morning everyone! We have rain again!

Yes, Sunny, get a parrot, the more noise, the better! Me, I got those ear protectors from Home Depot, really protects me from the luny bin.

My cat woke me up today by putting his paws up between the headboard and mattress and grabbing my hair! Stephen King never wrote about cats, did he?
LyndyS

Cats must make good alarm clocks.
richb

Yes, especially hungry cats.

I asked my husband if we could go backpacking this weekend, the whole family and he looked at me like I was insane. Are we supposed to get the hurricane rain this weekend?
LyndyS

One of my cats typically wakes me about 3:30 or 4Am. Lately he's been waiting until 5:30. The other one never makes a sound.

I'm here, but only physically. Mentally, I'm still alseep in bed.

It's raining here now and is supposed to continue until late Fri. night with afternoon sun on Sat. That's the latest report I heard unless the track of the hurricane changes I suppose.
richb

Well, I know that a Ferret chewing on your toes at 5 AM makes a damn good alarm clock.

I think Stephen King DID write about cats. More than once, too:
Cats Eye, Pet Sematary...


Is anyone planning to be in the Smokies this weekend? I think it's going to be a little DAMP.
Tilt

Hmmmm...maybe Sunday-Monday would be a good time for a hike.

Tilt, if I see Stephen King while I am in Maine, I will be sure to tell him to write about a ferret next.

OK, thank you treebait. I knew I had read that this morning, but I couldn't find the article, so I thought I was imagining more things that usual this morning...

I dunno... you know how those writers are: they HAVE to write. I think he's probably just taking an extended break.
Tilt
5:38:54 PM

Yeah, Stephen King will probably start writing under another pseudonym. Probably stories about Tilt and ferrets wearing tinfoil hats.

You can tell fall is here since it's so dark in the morning. I hate when we turn the clocks back though and that's not that far away.

That would be great, I often thought of hiking in winter after dark to around a few hours after sundown especially if the moon is full and then setting up camp. Maybe this year I'll do it.

Well especially if there is a lot of snow on the ground. The snow can make it look almost like daylight.
