Having coffee now. Not a good morning. We had to put our cat Mister to sleep yesterday. he was 16 and my last outside garden helper. I am pretty good, but worried a bit about our other cat Blinky. He is 13 and has known Mister his whole life and they were great buddies. Our whole routine is...

I had my coffee. DS is going to the store to buy a new burner for the stove and he said he is picking up a new coffee pot. Ours is about ready to go out. Not much going on. The Roma tomatoes are just now starting to get color. Trying to decide what to put on the garden for fall. I have...

Me too and I never feel that way.

The bird left and I got a good night's sleep and up and out in the garden. I picked beans and brought in some squash and cucumbers. I pulled a couple of plants that were not that healthy looking and I put them in the compost bin. I blanched beans and I made 2 loaves of chocolate zucchini bread...

When we were kids in Oklahoma there was a ditch that was dry unless it rained and when it rained we would put bacon on a string down the holes and catch crawdads, which is what we called them. I guess the same as crayfish? I have no idea where they went after the water dried up. We would catch...

I woke up this morning and the bird is gone. It was here last night until about 5 and then when I went out later it was not in the garden and did not hear it the rest of the night. It did that the other day, but was back at daybreak. This morning, though it is not here, so now I am taking it...

I know what you mean about the whole day messed up and feeling like some sleep hangover. I shut my window last night and decided hot was better than the noise and slept all night and feel good today. I hope you get some sleep tonight. I get really behind on the weekends when DS is home and he...

I can one cup of coffee and decided I needed water. I had a good day yesterday. DS put the other AC in the kitchen and helped cool the house off. We did our shopping at several stores. I went to bed last night and at about 1:30 the rabbit started thumping. I have my window open because it is...

I am drinking my coffee and talking to people on Facebook messenger. DD telling me about what is going on at her house and another friend telling me her plans. It is going to be hot. I am so glad this rabbit likes the frozen water bottle. She lays so comfortable compared to the other rabbits...

I have a bird feeder and I look out now and then and see it under the feeder with about 3 squirrels and a bunch of birds. a total zoo in my yard. lol It could be my excuse to get chickens and have a pen with a top and it could live with the chickens lol.

I had 1 cup of coffee this morning and kind of taking it easy. I picked beans and blanched beans I snapped last night. I will pick some tonight too. I brought in a lemon cucumber and ate that and I think I will bring one in for supper. I fried crooked neck squash for lunch. I sold a trash...

When DD gets up at night to feed the baby, she texts me. If she is sick or one of the kids are sick and I know she is going to be up in the middle of the night, I leave my computer on and if the cat gets me up or I wake up, I check to see how things are and send her texts.

I had my coffee. Getting ready to blanch and freeze beans. I have been busy with my Etsy and eBay stores listing things. I need to get out and pick more beans and see what else there is. Cherry tomatoes are starting to turn red. I went to a thrift store with DD and the kids the other day and...

I probably had a slight fear of water as a kid, but when we moved to Colorado I look back and realize I took way too many chances. We swam in the river and I remember diving in and we also floated in tubes down the river. My brother recently told me that he and his friend would swim across the...

They are lucky to have you! I just wish this bird would find some other quail and go live its life normally. I wish I knew where the quail went after their babies hatched. You will see little quail running around for about a week or so and then everybody is gone. Do they leave the adult...

And now another bird story. LOL I was picking beans tonight and I heard a noise and right behind be was a half grown sparrow hanging upside down with its food caught in the fence. I am not sure if it just happened or had been there awhile. I was afraid I was going to break its leg, but I got...

It was out in the beans again tonight and about 2 feet away. I was talking to it and going chick chick chick and it does not run away, but my cat came to see, so I put him in the house for awhile.

This one to me seems about the size of an adult California quail. I see them all the time and their tiny babies, but then I do not see them that often after they are a little bigger. I do not know where they go. Somebody showed me a link to a brown quail and it really looks like one and the...

My mother never learned to swim and DH's mother and dad did not know how to swim. When DD was about 7, we were traveling and stopped at a motel with a pool and DH and the kids went in. DH was carrying DS and DD was following, but the water got over her head and she started the struggling and...

I am not sure I would call it tiny. Looks close to it other than the black beak and no white on the head, but maybe they all do not have that.
