Hubby and I have been saying that this can happen and now it has!

Oops, I can't help myself, I'm addicted to hotkeys!!!

Why oh why did they take that chance on The View coming in without masks and doing interviews? Same with the Today Show?

Good news!

Proof that masks work!

What's up with this???

https://www.yahoo.com/news/teacher-bonus-checks-bouncing-florida-204800831.html

Unbelievable!

So even reliable sources have to be checked when that breaking news comes in over the Associated Press or other well-known accurate sources, people are just people and might write the initial assessment incorrectly or it could be read wrong!

Just the other day our local news anchor reported in breaking news that 14 were killed in that Kroger shooting in Tennessee! Thankfully, it was only two, but two loved by people's lives, so not "only" really, and twelve others were taken to the hospital! 

So perhaps waiting until judging or reporting to anyone else.

That is hard for professionals though they have to get the news out as it comes in!

So evidently mistakes will be made, but never on purpose.

Check out my first hotkey story that was later refuted due to, well read it, and find out in the story below it.

Jumping to conclusions is not unusual, I'm just saying, even the pros do it! 

Another amazing observation... we are two weeks past Labor Day and the cases and deaths from COVID appear to be coming down, not rising?

At least that is what we are told is happening here in southwest Florida, but how are the rest of our country doing and the world for that matter?

The above hotkey not only confirms what I said but tells how we can continue to help it go down and other important info!

Moving on...

Hubby has been working on the pond garden since after breakfast reinstalling its electric and other major components. Also marking off where everything will be placed once again!

In the first below pic off to the right, those green wires over the rocks are the outdoor ones used for the pond. As now you can see that red rope clearly that is marking off exactly how far in circumference the garden will be.

Each five-gallon bucket marks off the location of where trees will be planted, the one on the right is where the lemon tree will be going, and the one on the left where the Japanese maple will be. I forgot to mention yesterday that the giant Haas avocado tree and the well-situated original gardenia bush have remained and are anchors in that garden!

Behind the yellow wheelbarrow and other blue garbage cans are jasmine and honeysuckles on that fence as well as plumbago and allamanda, not to mention our plantains and palm tree in the back corner. We are very floras-oriented!

Tedium slow procedures can be a part of any construction although very necessary!

Did I mention the cooling station??? Necessary when it's not even ten A.M. and look at that feels like temperature!!!

The BIG DeWalt yellow object is an all-weather radio, compliments of Number One Son!

My attempt at capturing an amazing sunrise once again has failed... this is all I got!

It appears as a mountain range but alas most all of Florida is flatlands! The highest elevation in our home state is 345 feet! More info here:

And so we must go, for now.

Please be smart, as well as safe.

Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!

Next time, please be here or be square; ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made, I will comply anyway for the fun of it, so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me in the crate at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named? And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way, so my Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though, some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. And here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. 
Below is my new PIC, which had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, on his brother's birthday.

3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018.

Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties... We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!
Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

The animal control lady had been called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
