Vespertine sounds so pretty, whereas crepuscular sounds like it means covered in boils. I looked up the pronunciation and the pus part is like an oozing sore, not like church pew.
I did all my tasks except I made an equivalent substitution for one. Now I’m having a reaction to my medicine/allergies which made me knock over my drink. It’ll pass. I’m always punished if I try to do morning routine too fast. C
I’m going to do some instrument maintenance

Bree, I got it at Aldi. I am sure they are available on Amazon I can try to post a picture. I would crawl under the water if it wasn't in my front yard

There’s a splash park (like various sculptural shapes with sprinkler type sprays) in the park near where I walk some dogs so yesterday I saw half of it had no kids so I dragged them through it. They didn’t want to go but I only stayed in a misty area not direct water and the lab decided to like it once we were doing it. The labradoodle didn’t love it but she didn’t hate it (I don’t make dogs do things they hate). We will see if the next time she’s more keen. Most of the dogs I know that like sprinklers right off without encouragement or letting them have a lot of time with it like to actually attack the sprinkler. I walked 3 dogs from the same household who all liked to bite the city grass sprinklers and once one chomped it so hard she changed the speed it was set on. ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) . I maintained my instrument and played it. My eyesight sucks. 🛑put away laundry 🛑strip bed 🛑reboot laundry 🛑collect cans 🛑pick up living room

Puppybox, what instrument are you playing?
While on my lunch break I finished my library book, so now I'll have 2 to return tomorrow. And I have 2 to pick up. ![:|](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/euQT8EMqoSShDIckjvzr.png) I can't seem to get ahead.

Okay, here's another weird coincidence, I belong to a ton of Facebook groups just to look at the posts, and every few days they auto-suggest other groups for me. Today, for the first time, there's a suggestion of a group by my state's Horticultural Extension Office, just after ohblondie suggested them for classes. I joined it. ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/FrupXdFWbETUBSGkxzsZ.gif)

Diane Yay! Have fun. (if you don't watch it, you may end up being the Master Gardener/extension agent here! ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) )

hi everypony!
both DVD and his mom are Master Gardeners. I have learned a little from him. I've discovered the people that do this kind of thing tend to be the kind I enjoy hanging out with.
I'm feeling both grateful and distressed that my people need me. I'm definately in hermit mode right now. The weather isn't helping. Its making us crespuscular. The only good thing about that is the cat like this. He keeps escaping as we have the window open, despite the barriers we have put up. Need screens.
DONE: made bed caffeinated made plans with DPs, AT, and LR updated DVD and discussed plantings for the support he is installing (mix of thornless berries and jasmine is the current idea) updated log updated $ checked online balance x2 checked email and calendar selected outfit
NEXT UP: shower, hair, face dress pack for meeting w/ AT pack for overnight pack for organizing pack for dinner dispose of photos put tote outside to wash and dry update re: plans head to AT for meeting
take meds

Hello golden and scholar!
The weather isn't helping. Its making us crespuscular.
I'm hitting my mid-afternoon slump. There was a chance of rain this afternoon and the radar shows it going over pretty far north of us now, so I'm sure we won't get any. I think I'll put some seed on the back porch and then go downstairs and try to do some decluttering in the kitchen. Or maybe I'll go outside and see how hot it feels.

So I went downstairs, gathered my gardening stuff, went out on the porch, and it started raining. I was happy to see rain, went back inside, put my stuff away, the rain stopped.
I'm going to work on removing all the library book icons from my Kindle list instead.

I think I got all of the library books out of my record, but I still need to go through the books that are left. Amazon Prime gives you a free book (from a list of about 8 choices) every month, and I usually find something I like there and get it, and I've only read a few of them. I also bought some really cheap ones with the Amazon credits you get if you don't want immediate delivery. So now I don't remember what any of the books are like or if I've read them. But at least the number of books is way fewer with the library books out of there. I guess people want the library books saved on their records because you can make notes on the books and save them, so if you ever want to take the book out again you have the notes. But I don't take notes, at least, never on the Kindle, so they were just messing up my account. Now I have to remember that when I return a Kindle library book I have to do it from the Amazon website.
We keep getting very short bursts of rain, I can't tell how much it amounted to, so I'm going to go outside later and look in the rain barrels to see if even a few extra inches are in there. And I will remember to look at the Datura flowers--although I don't know what qualifies as "evening" for a "vespertine" flower--does it have to get kind of dark out before the bloom opens?
I'm going to have dinner now.

Heh heh scholar if we all use it in a sentence we’ll actually remember it next week unlike all the other stuff I looked up this week. Thanks for your comment. ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) Diane is one of your gardening tools a rain making stick of some kind? I walked 2 dogs. On Sunday. Blah. Should I buy a ticket to go to Les MIs? I’ve never seen and and I’ve liked the music since we played a medley of it in high school band 30 years ago. It’s not cheap. Why don’t I know anyone who would want to go? Not that I can’t go by myself. This year I’ve started going to slightly fancy shows by myself- you can get better seats later than usual if you only need one. There’s always a good seat left. I won’t be going to see cyndi lauper though because it’s SO expensive. Hundreds of dollars to sit far away in a stadium. Good for her, but no. I haven’t gone to a rock/pop concert in 30 years anyway, this is only the second year I’ve gone to much of anything in a long time. My instrument is a violin. I was going to keep it secret out of some kind of not wanting anyone to recognize me if they happened to come on this site or want to blackmail me or something. But that’s paranoid. I watched too many things about internet scams over the winter. I played as a kid and picked it up again to join a community orchestra in about 2019. I missed my orchestra in the pandemic and when it started again i also found a teacher so I wouldn’t be the worst one anymore at the orchestra. It has been very soothing for my self diagnosed ADHD. Dogsit dog is being dropped off again soonish. I will relax until then. I’ve been told she is tired from playing with kids all weekend so I won’t have to walk her. Oh! I’ll feed the cat. He’s getting fatter, I think I’ve been feeding him too much. Then 🛑 floor clearing. So much stuff needs to get UP. And possibly OUT.

I wish! If only I could make it rain whenever I wanted by just walking out on my back porch!
I was going to keep it secret
I wondered why you didn't say what you were playing--I thought it might be something really unusual. I don't think you have to worry about someone tracking you down--"oh, she's that person--that one that plays the VIOLIN! Now I know who she is!"
I like violin music--a very pure sound.
I used to go to expensive theater productions by myself--when I bought one seat I would always end up in the first few rows. I figured if I was going to pay a lot to see the show I wanted to SEE the show. If you can afford it and badly . want to see it, you should go. If spending the money will stress you out, then you should not go.
I'm ready to go outside and check out the back yard, and then get ready for bed.
Good night, see you all tomorrow in the weekday thread!
Diane

Not much today I had to force myself to NOT go to the farmers market as a I was jonesing for some plants Instead I drove all over looking for garage sales to purchase items for craft sessions at the ALF. Not a single sale. I picked up a few items from Aldi and came home
I had to re-run the dishwasher as stuff didn't come clean. Ugh. I did hand wash coffee mugs after I soaked the lids
Took my mom to visit my dad and I packed up his clothes. I left out two outfits for mon and Tues. I might go tomorrow and pick up the dirty clothes though it might be easier to just grab them Tues AM
DH and I went to visit a friend who is tending bar today. We grabbed a bite to eat. Meh.
At some point during the day I flipped DS's jeans to the dryer. Before I go to bed I will start another load
I was watching House Hunters to kill some time. On the one I watched the boyfriend was such a jerk to his girlfriend. I wanted to slap him through the TV and tell her to run far far away..... I wonder they are still together. Has anyone from these type shows ever ended up on Unsolved Mysteries? Ugh
