I love these I had a pretty purple one until the dogs killed it.
We have 3 of the furry terrorists. But they are small. Our outer yard is fenced separately. They have access to it only with us. Sorry you lost the purple clematis.
Good morning everyone! Woke up to thunder and unfortunately lightning this morning. Hope we get some decent rain but also hope the lightning didn't cause wild fires because everything is so dry. I hope you all have an amazing day!
Fires are at higher risk this year. Hope they ban all fireworks. Don't want the mountain to burn. Fires are the worse

Picked up a walker and a cane this afternoon. The walker is pretty helpful but once I'm up and moving and get the back loosened up a bit I can walk with minimal assistance so the cane is going to the confusion with me.
Better to have it and not need it.... You know the rest!

Sorry @kevgib67 I'm not much help with tech stuff. I just know anytime we have an update at work IT says we have to clear our cache...
I always wonder why we need IT if we always need to fix it ourselves! They knew better than to pull that crap with me. They would come and show us. On my computer. 🤣

Don't apologize. They want to see them again secretly. I grew up an army brat. Lived in some beautiful places. Never tire of seeing these places. Plan on doing some traveling soon.

We like to go play in tide pools. That sunset is something. I bet you can just sit and watch it every night.
Love the sunsets! Each one is different and awesome in its own way. We also love checking the tide pools for flounder and soft shell crabs!

Morning Kevin , is your day a little easier on you . I know you had a rough day . Sorry for teasing on you but you did start it when you called me “KAREN “ lol !! 😝
Yes Better, we only see patients until noon and then I usually spend the day evaluating and doing x-rays reports and getting caught up. Easier day, thanks.
