Good Morning, Brothers & Sisters Thread

It’s called Spanish moss. Really a flowering plant. I tried to start it here in Kentucky but it was too cold. Makes for nice scenery hanging in a live oak stands.

 

Good afternoon all. Not much going on. Rain came in about 1;15. This was the warmest morning. We have had in a few weeks. Have been getting up to temps on the 40/50 range. This morning was 67. Right now it is 71 but that is the highest we are suppose to get today. Enjoy the rest of your day all.

 

We went over to St Simons Island today, neighboring island about 1 mile north of Jekyll Island. Toured the lighthouse, walked on the pier, got some pictures of the top of the auto carrier ship. Met a guy today that is working on the salvage crew. There are 4500 cars on that ship. I was way off. view from top of the lighthouse. Jekyll Island 1 mile across the sound.
The St Simons Pier. There has been a big shark or two here before. The lighthouse and wood stove in the keeper's house kitchen
How about this wild live oak with the deck around it? We ate lunch and dessert at 2 little hole-in-the-wall places friend told us about. this one has the oak tree in front and the best toasted peach pound cake with ice cream, caramel and pecans inside
This place is a hot dog/burger place that also makes a super pork chop sammich. After those two stops, who needs dinner...

Good morning brother.....

 

Yep, I need to find a cup or three

 

Y'all reminded me during the summer about vacation, lol...it has been a great trip, we have to check out this morning, take the long way home, going by hospital to see mama on the way. She got transferred to rehab yesterday. Gonna be a long process.

 

Good morning everyone. I waffled on yesterday's goals. It was too hot and sticky to get into painting the pool. I carried oak into the basement until about 9, then gave up on outdoor stuff. I did catch the mouse ( actually a vole) in the pool. He made the mistake of running into the bowl of the deep end, and couldn't get traction to climb back out, so I caught him with a rag.
It'll be in the 70's today, so I think I'll mow the lawn and cut up the last two oak logs.
A fellow at the hardware store told me a story about a "black hickory" that needed to be cut for land clearing, in the town next to us. He said Remington bought it for 40K to use for gunstocks. I looked it up, it's a type of pignut hickory. I know we have pignuts up here in NH, so I suppose it's possible that a black hickory could make it up here. Or, it may be just one of those stories.
Have fun today!

 

I hope your mother does well in rehab. Is the rehab facility close by to you? I hope she has the drive to do the exercises. Physical therapy can be hard for older people to see as a help, and not some sort of torture.

 

It's in Macon GA, same big city were she had surgery, about 50 miles from us, but way better care than our local center.
