A beautiful spring day. We have had a few light showers and the temperature has been cool but not bad. The birds and the squirrels have enjoyed the day, mostly getting along but having an occasional misunderstanding over who the bird feeder belongs to. The squirrels have tried to get in the tiny holes but haven’t been able to even get their paws in to rake out seeds. The birds chase them away as they don’t believe in sharing with the squirrels. The squirrels went so far as to try and get the set but, there again, they couldn’t get more then a claw in there and the woodpeckers don’t share well either. Birds 2, squirrels 0.

I went to the butcher shop with Julie today and I bought some Angus All Beef Hot Dogs! When we got home I tried one. It was delicious. I usually don’t care for hot dogs as they leave a greasy after taste in my mouth. Tina kept saying she wanted to get some of these because they were all beef. WE have bought all beef hot dogs in the store and I still didn’t like them. Well, the one I had for lunch, that I bought from the butcher shop was fantastic. No greasy taste, good flavor, just like they use to be when I was a kid. That means no preservatives, no filler. Just good beef. So far, everything we have bought at that butcher shop has been excellent. I also bought bacon, 2 onions, farm fresh eggs (dozen) and a loaf of cranberry walnut bread that is so yummy. I think I am addicted to it. I like it toasted with butter.

Jerry and Tammy’s new puppy, a girl, Dallas (named after the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders) is quite photogenic. She plays well and looks to be so cuddly. I can’t wait to meet her. I understand that Finley, Lacy and Murphy aren’t very happy with the new member of the household. Tammy said they growl every time she gets near one of them. She is a baby and just wants to play. It will take time but they will get use to her and eventually welcome her into their fold. She is much bigger they they are so she can handle them.

Quote of the day: Whether you are reminded to pray by the beeping of a digital watch or by the sound of the phone ringing in the wee hours of the morning….prayer helps.” My calendar.

Have a grand rest of your Wednesday. Make it a healthy, safe, practical, prosperous and fun day.
