Thursday, April 27, 2023 Cloudy Showers High Pollen No Breeze 57 Degrees 4:43 p.m.

A quiet day. We have had showers on and off, a slight breeze occasionally, no sunshine today. The birds are happy and the squirrels seem to not mind the rain. No many dogs walking their people. All in all a good day.

This morning we had bible study and it was very good. WE watched a message by Louie Gigolo that was so interesting and profound. He is very interested in science and the stars, galaxies, etc. He told us how many light years different stars, planets, and galaxies were away from earth. And how from even our sun our planet earth looks the size of a golf ball. There was a lot of information he shared. I, now, of course, want to go purchase his CD’s . Very interesting.

Am now making dinner. It is a bit of a mix-up so will call it an Italian dinner as we are having spaghetti, rib eye roast, salad, garlic ciabatta rolls and pudding. served with a cookie. The roast I wanted to fix turned out to be rather small so I brought out the spaghetti from the freezer and thought I could use it and have an Italian dinner. I hope that all enjoy it.

Have a beautiful rest of your Thursday. Make it a good weather, sunny, bright, cheerful, healthy, safe, and fun day.

Wednesday, April 25, 2023 Mostly Cloudy Breezy Nice Cool 59 Degrees 4:56 p.m.

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.

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

Tuesday, April 25, 2023 Sunny Few high clouds Cool Breezy 65 Degrees 5:35 p.m.

A cloudy morning and a sunny afternoon. This morning it was cold and we had the heat on. Finally the sun came out and it warmed up a bit. Then the wind came up. Now it is breezy, mostly sunny and cool. Now it is soon dinner time and news time. At least we have no freeze pr frost warning for tonight. Just a chance for rain. That is the prediction for tonight through Friday.

It has been another busy day with company, the phone, house hold chores, the yard and Sierra who has helped me with everything. I do realize I need her help for so man things, like this blog. Tina just came home so Sierra went to help her with whatever she is doing. I am so glad Sierra shares her time and help.The red headed woodpecker has been here feeding on the suet. He has quite a red Mohawk. He is very handsome, interesting and busy. There is another woodpecker that dines here also. It is a Downy Woodpecker. The one with the Mohawk is actually a Pileated Woodpecker. We bought a book at Barns and Nobel because we have so many birds this year.

Quote of the day: “Great news: laughing one hundred times is the physiological equivalent to working out on a rowing machine for ten minutes! The problem is, once I get going, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop, and I’ll laugh myself into Anorexia!” My calendar

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a thankful, exciting, tasteful, and fun day.

Monday, April 24, 2023 Sunny Cool Pretty 62 degrees 4:25 p.m.

A busy Monday after a rainy, cloudy, cold weekend. At least very chilly on Sunday. It was a busy weekend. We went grocery shopping, cleaned out the coat closet, fixed ham and beans, watched TV, and slept. A great weekend. The coat closet, which holds a multitude of items besides coats took the longest to clean. Now we have the trunk full of stuff to go to Karns. We even found things that went in the yard that we had forgotten about.

Today we had the landscapers back to move the bird feeder, fix one of the lights that doesn’t want to stay standing and wash the windows and pt the screens back. All looks so nice and neat and clean.Now to save up for some repairs to the roof. One thing at a time. By 2050 we should have it all done.

WE found out this morning we have wood bees. I had never heard of them but have seen these strange looking bumble bees hanging around here. I thought we had sawdust under the window but then thought that was impossible. So I asked what that yellow stuff was under the window and was told that we have wood bees. Another new thing about Tennessee. I like the birds better. WE will have to get an exterminator to get rid of them. they have built a nest there. We are going to evict them. Reason being damage to property and none payment of rent. Trespassing.

We watched Dr. Charles Stanley’s life story yesterday morning. It was very good, He left a great legacy and will be missed greatly. WE will still watching his Sunday morning program every Sunday even though they are reruns. That is the best start to Sunday mornings and the week.

Quote of the day: “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation….I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13.” My calendar Also my favorite bible verse.

Have a great Monday. Make it a profitable, pleasant, purposeful and fun day.
