Good morning, I lost my post so I'll summarize. It's hot, going to again be in the mid to late eighties, people are already busy setting everything up for all the solstice activities and its going to be a late night considering my building is only a block away from activity center. Numerous activities will begin or reach a high point after midnight. A golf game, baseball game, river regatta, peak store sales and an antique car show...all within a two block radius from my building.

I've been busy deep cleaning and re-arranging my apartment for the every three year structural inspection where the bigwigs come up from Juneau and stress everyone out. I do this every time only to have them breeze through, say very nice and then on to their next one. My floor is scheduled at two thirty on the 27th. This year, I decided to re arrange everything just to make it more interesting.

Amy, this portion of the primordial forest and major rivers covering the state, used to be prime hunting grounds for the Athabaskans before the Russians and Americans took over and then the Alaskan gold rush marginalized them in 1902. In 1903, the gold camp became an incorporated city and major supply center so we're late to the civilization game and many animals have more forest to hide out in. The rest of the US and Canada has had more time to build up.

Denver - Sent you a PM

Amy · June 21, 2024, 04:03:57 PM

Light rain still continuing, nice were are not frying today.
Callie, has been fed and had her tummy rub.

Strawberry rhubarb pie in the hidey hole...........think it could have used a tad more sugar but ice cream or whipping cream will take care of that.

RAMMEL · June 21, 2024, 04:16:05 PM

Is S&F slow for anyone, or everyone?

Thermometer hit the 100 mark. Again, TG for A/C.

Denver · June 21, 2024, 04:22:36 PM

I can not get to the hide hole quick enough......my very favorite pie...strawberry rhubarb‼️ I bet your pie would be the best EVER, AMY❣️

RICK.....it is very slow today. I am going to look for your PM

patricia19 · June 21, 2024, 09:16:44 PM

I need to pay better attention, the festival is tomorrow, Saturday!

JaneS · June 21, 2024, 09:37:13 PM

I'm heading for the haystack! The girls are getting ready to do that too but not as early as I go. Cindy is still on Okla. time and that's an hour earlier than here.

I hope you all had a good day today. I did! I wish you all another good one tomorrow! I'll "see" you then! Rest well!

Amy · June 22, 2024, 06:18:21 AM

Good morning...

A damp one here this morning with a starting temp of 60° but feels hotter due to humidity.

Working around the house today after I go feed Callie and pick up meds.

Crows are hollering for their breakfast! Have yet to hear the rooster at the back crow.........maybe he slept in??

Jane, have fun with your girls and da Cooper!

Patricia, glad to see that I am not the only one to get my days mixed up.

Jenny, raspberry pie or rasin pie is my favourite pie.

Rick, it seems S&F is better this morning..

Better start the day before it becomes too hot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

RAMMEL · June 22, 2024, 09:23:04 AM

We're starting off at about 80° after hitting 100° yesterday. The air out there isn't very nice. The rain we were to get went North of us.

Good to see our speed here has picked up.

JaneS · June 22, 2024, 09:53:56 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I've been up and attem for a while. Frankie is off today so we don't have Cooper....yet! Maybe later! Christy and I took her Lennie for a walk earlier. She's just a little bitty thing, I forget what kind she is but she sure is a cutie and still a bit of a puppy! She's into everything and then all of a sudden she takes a nap!

Christy went to meet a friend that she's known since 6th grade. They get together whenever they can! Cindy is on her job! She's playing catch-up for taking some time off yesterday! So here I am. I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. It's going to be another one in the mid to high 90s. I'm ready for a normal summer around here....80 to 88 is ok! See ya'll later!

JaneS · June 22, 2024, 09:05:26 PM

I stopped by on my way to bed to see who had been by and I was the last to post so I'll just say ....

Good Night Everyfriend! See you tomorrow! Have a good night wherever you are!

RAMMEL · June 22, 2024, 09:42:33 PM

I've been by --- a couple of times, but had nothing to say.

RAMMEL · June 22, 2024, 09:44:44 PM

I see we're running slow again.

JaneS · June 23, 2024, 06:37:57 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! And a special "Good Morning, RICK! Looks like everyone is out and about!

I have a picture to post just as soon as I figure out how to separate it from what my DIL sent me yesterday! I guess I'll be back later. I hope all's well with Everyfriend!

Have you tried dragging it to your desktop and post from there?

Amy · June 23, 2024, 08:14:36 AM

Good morning

Starting out at 69° with more rain in the forecast. A day of rest here ,a welcomed one.

I do believe the probotics helps with some of Babes problems,finding something she likes to eat is still on going.

Jane, not me..I think the past few days caught up with me and I slept in!!!

Best get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morrning Bubble ..

RAMMEL · June 23, 2024, 09:18:24 AM

Good morning anyone. Starting off hot again - 82° and humid. We did get some nice rain yesterday but it only cooled us for an hour or so.
All's quiet around here/ Every one must be sleeping late or on vacation. ----- But quiet is just fine.

Amy · June 23, 2024, 12:17:09 PM

Just came back from checking on Callie cat. Owner said she has been hiding a lot lately so don't expect to see her but every time I have go in she meets me at the door! I have no idea on how she hears me as I walk on the grass then unlock the door.

Noticed the swallows have vacated thier nest and are flying about. While I was gassing up the lawnmower they told me to hurry and get out of their nesting area!

patricia19 · June 23, 2024, 01:02:39 PM

Good morning, another hot one for us, with smoky haze from the McDonald's fire.

Amy, Farrah is sick again, same symptoms and the third time for this particular one. She doesn't eat, stays hidden and usually seems better after three days. I can only keep an eye on her.

Amy · June 23, 2024, 01:06:31 PM

Patricia, email sent..

Denver · June 23, 2024, 04:48:29 PM

It is a very HOT Sunday.....and there is a week more of this same temperatures to come. Bad news is once it leaves us here in Colorado it heads East to make you all miserable too. Of course we do not have the high humidity to go along with it and I am very thankful for that.

We are getting ready to go to our son's home for dinner. We get together almost every Sunday and it is wonderful.

AMY, good to read that you feel the probiotics are helping Babe.

JANE, looking forward to seeing your pictures when you can find them and get them posted.

Our Boston Family got out of Dodge just in time to miss the awful heat wave. They are in Iceland with winter gear on exploring cave. We sure enjoy the pictures they are sharing.

PATRICIA, I am sorry Farrah is not feeling well again🙏

My brother just called....his wife fell and broke her hip and is in surgery. They are in the process of preparing for a move😢😩

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday EVERYFRIEND🦋

Good Morning Everyfriend!

Thanks m million, BUBBLE for posting my kids for me!

I'll be back later. Keep on keeping on!

Amy · June 24, 2024, 07:26:05 AM

Good morning..

Interesting day yesterday. Neighbour called to say a rather mangy fox had come into our yard. When I went out it had moved on to the next door neighbours. Not sure where it will be this morning but every time the dogs needed out I went with them.

Our power bliped in the night and now we have blinkin clocks.
Washing floors is one of many jobs to do today..

Jane, loved the photo!! You my dear lady are surrounded in love.

Jenny, our heat wave broke and we have had a lot of welcomed rain. High winds also the past two days.

Rick ,we are starting off at 58° and we just may see sun so that will end up a humid day here.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

RAMMEL · June 24, 2024, 09:15:23 AM

We're getting a break today - not to go above the 80's. But tomorrow looks like we're back to the 90's. Looks like we'll be supporting the Power Company for a couple of more days.

patricia19 · June 24, 2024, 01:38:03 PM

Good morning everyone, I hope everyone has a good day, we're going into the mid to late eighties, perhaps nineties today. The skies are filled with smoke as we're surrounded by different fires, so a typical Alaskan Interior summer.

Farrah is back over her upset, and I'm relieved to see it, as it was my fault. I spoke to the vet yesterday and learned the minimal, bits of cheddar I gave her were at fault.

From the info the vet sent me," However, many—perhaps most —cats either have lactose intolerance or an allergy to dairy products. This means that quite a few adult cats will experience gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or gas after eating only a small amount of milk or cheese. Unfortunately, this means that these cats shouldn't be fed any dairy products at all."

Amy, you are smart to watch out for them. We don't have your typical red fox, ours are either black, or gray and black. However, it's extremely rare to see one inside the city limits. In the suburbs or across one of the rivers, it's a different story.

I'd love to see more rain here, it's so smoky that you can't even open a window or door without your eyes burning.

Jane, thanks for the lovely photo, and Bubble, thanks for posting for Jane, You're an unsung hero with all you do for us.

Jenny, so nice to hear from you and sorry to hear about your sister-in-law.

Rick, try to stay cool.

Amy · June 24, 2024, 02:03:52 PM

Patricia, good to hear Farrah is back to her ol self.. We sure worry about our furkids when thaey are under the weather.

Grass is cut ,just need to do the trimming and that may happen tomorrow..maybe

JaneS · June 24, 2024, 09:57:16 PM

Good Night Everyfriend! I'm off to the haystack!

I'm glad Farah is feeling better, too. It's a worry when our "friends" are ailing!

RAMMEL · June 24, 2024, 10:09:27 PM

Goodnight, and goodnight Mrs Calabash, wherever you are.

Amy · June 25, 2024, 06:04:51 AM

Good morning..

Starting off at 50°, sure hope it has a slow crawl up the thermometer. Taking van in for final work on a/c this morning. Neighbour is bringing me home then taking back to pick it up. Then home to wrangle dust kangaroos and wash floors.

Babe is back to being picky eating so it is back to the drawing board to see just what might tickle her fancy.

ENjoy your day and stay safe
