Happy Monday, the Monday that we remember our service men and women who died while fighting to protect our nation, our freedom, our way of life, and our lives. I know that this day is set aside to honor and respect the men and women who were in our military. I do think that we should remember the first responders that serve us in our towns, cities, and states….the Police, the State Troupers, The ambulance E.M.T.’s, all the people who give of their time and talent to answer our calls for help any time day or night.
Today Tina is a work for a few hours. This afternoon we are going to Jerry’s for a Memorial Day get together. That is always fun. I told him that we were bringing the watermelon, but he would have to go get it and I would pay him for it. Tina and I went grocery shopping on Saturday and looked at watermelons. neither of us could pick one of any size up. Of course the ones that we could reach ere big ones. He laughed and said we should go to the gym. He and Tammy go to the gym often. He and Tammy are a bit younger then us.
Today we have rain, The time is 9:08 a.m. and the temperature is 59 degrees. We are to have showers on and off all day, and most of the week. Everything here is so green and lush and pretty. Those who are in the lawn mowing and landscape business are very busy trying to keep up with the fast growing grass and weeds, and the vine that seems to take over everything it touches. The flowers are so pretty and grow , and last a long time. Umbrellas are a necessity here as are rain boots and raincoats.
The chipmunk just dashed by. He is such a busy little animal, spending his day dashing back and forth, I believe, gathering food. I don’t know if he has a family or if it is a he or a she, as I only see the one. but it is cute. We have two squirrels now. They ignore the chipmunk ad gather the birdseed that is dropped by the birds, from the bird feeders. The squirrels can’t get in the bird feeders but they do try. I enjoy watching them try.
