My Guiness Book of Records Mullein plant! Mullein leaves are nature's toilet paper....nice and soft and fuzzy!
Another shot of the Mullein---it's about 6 feet tall right now!

GOOD MORNING TO US ALL!
It's a cool 62 degrees out there, and still very overcast and foggy. We ended up geting another 3 inches of rain yesterday while I was off in the truck shopping in the city. It's supposed to be nice again today, and, if it is, it's leanto day for me. I will need to go back to WalMart to exchange the fold-up chair I bought yesterday for the shorter model of the same. I don't know what I was thinking when I went for the too-tall one! The shorter one is ten dollars cheaper, also.
I've had a fun time this morning watching digital videos my daughter in OR has on her Facebook page of her at Easter when her daughter and two grandkids were visiting her. It's really neat to be able to share things like that on Facebook----the site I swore I would NEVER join again! Never say never.
Lily and Hope are still together as of last night, anyway. It is a real mystery why Lily seems to enjoy losing Hope and has a fit when the cub locates her again, for a short while, anyway. What a learning experience for all. Bears seem to share more human emotions than we ever believed-----"How can I lose this pesky, demanding, time-consuming little whippersnapper?" Of course, most human moms don't actually do it, thank heavens, but I am sure we have all had our moments when we wish we were free and single once again!
When the fog burns off, and the sun comes out, Molly and I will head to the pond to work on the leanto. If it stays a bit rainy, maybe I will return the WalMart chair. Either/or----maybe/maybe not-----yes/no-----now/later-----work/play! New feelings for me as I realize I have some time to pick my activities these days!
I had a long talk with Melissa in FL last night, and those two are so excited about working on their new property! A garden tractor with 57 inch mower is arriving on Thursday, from Lowes, who has the 12 month/no interest deal going. Weldon has already torn out a section of the fence they didn't need, poles and all, with no equipment other than his arms and hands----rolled the fencing up onto the poles, to clear an area to more easily mow and view their pond. He checked out the pump and other well on the other side of the property, (originally was two-house property before last owners tore down old places and built this new house) and found the other septic system which they are saying are mine to use when I come down for the winters! He said everything is a go there---pump works great, and water is great quality! Also a spot to install me a 30 amp plug where I will be located! What an amazing place to spend the winter this year! I am not sure who is more excited---them, or me!
I hope we all have a fun day doing something we like to do. Coffee is hot, so stop by and tell us about where you are.
I'm about ready to throw it in the flood water!!! I had a post all composed and then it decided to shut down to update Windows 7. What??? Anyone else having problems with this version? I hate it so far!!! I think it is the source of my computer problems.
Not used to the constant chatter, but I'm sure I will miss it when she goes home. I'm surprised she doesn't talk in her sleep 
I'm with Paulette...If they open it up for other RVers, and the price is right, I'm in! Hey, we could have a winter long GTG 
. Played golf last night but didn't do very well. It wasn't very hot out but the humidity was high so I was feeling slow and sticky the whole time. But still had fun chatting with the other girls in my foursome.
