STILL THE BIRDS

This morning I watched a pair of Finch inspect the Humming bird sweet juice.  

first they tried to drink, but their peaks are too large  for the holes.   Up and down they searched the sides. Could see it but could not reach it. On top the danced and tried. Swinging it a little and then they gave up. Mr. Dove got a little mad and left.  But still no Hummers have come yet.  Must wait and hope they will make it soon.  

I slept from 10 pm till 7 am this morning. With short wakes to the bathroom but right back to dreamland. What is happening?  Jan just laughs at my worry and says "good for you".  So I will sleep half my life I guess.  Maybe I need it.  Who knows.  I guess I should stop trying to be "DR. DOTTIE"  try to enjoy it.

I AM BACK

 Our computer Tec/ was just here.  Just a few minutes before he came. my computer came back.  He said ignore it and don't ever call a number that they give you.  Of course I new enough to not do that. I thanked him and was glad it is working again.  I guess I depend a lot on the connection of the computer. Like another person to talk to.  Any way. I am happy it is working now

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE

 I have confused the birds.  With several days of off and off rain. and the food getting low. I withdrew the feeder for a few days. I had a plan to stop them from feeding at the feeder and  them find food themselves.  You know, bugs and insects and such.  I got out the sugar and water. Washed the feeder, and the new quart jar Jan brought.  Later about that. When it stopped raining and it got dark, I put out the sweet juice for the Humming Birds.  Mr. Dove flew in and looked it over this morning, walked the rail and decided to take a closer look.  What was that thing in place of my usual fare?  He backed off and took a running flight and landed on the edge of the sugar feeder, it took a whirl and amazingly did not fall off the hook. He fluttered in the air and seemed totally surprised.  Flew off to tell his tale.  So far no bird has come near it yet.  Hope the hummers are not afraid to come soon.  About the container Jan brought.  I thought that the one she brought was a little heavy,  When did they switch from glass to plastic  What a difference.  I am using a relic from the past.  An antique.  Glass container.

GLOOMY WEATHER

 

That is the weather. Stick around, and it could change fast.  People say that is Mississippi. I like it.

Like breakfast. it changes.  A favorite, when little cooking is required.  Instant grits (country bacon flavor) an egg poached to perfection right on top of grits. a slice of wholewheat bread (good brand) O. J. and a small bowl of strawberries and of course coffee. Now that sounds good, but a lot  of trouble>  No.  Try it.  I bet you will be surprised how easy it is.

SATURDAY ALREADY?

 My, my, how time does fly.  Saturday already.  So much has happened this month.  Moving right along.  

My, my, how time does fly.  I keep pulling out old summer type clothes and realizing how old some of them are.  What I need is a few new ones to perk me up.  But even the fun of something new makes me tired.  One of my favorite thing to do is getting hard to do.  But some of the items are as old as the time I have spent here at SCV---13  years.  Some came here with me when I came.  Now that is is a shame.  However, look at it this way, some of the oldies are the best.  I must work on this a while.

p.s. I have too much time to think.

SUN AGAIN

 Interesting each day.  That is Mississippi, so they say.  Something to complain about. I found some packets 0t Zinnia seeds in the trash room.  

don't know how old they are.  Will be interesting to plant and see.  One pack is of the small and tiny ones and would look good in a pot, lets try. Bet they are too old, but I found them anyway.  

Well, what to do today.?  I am sure something will come up.  Hope it is not trouble.  I am good at finding it.

CLOUDY

 I just discovered the grey color.  Today it fits the day.  Just the grey color.  Sat out but not so much joy in the air.  Maybe the sun will come out later.  Eat up little birds, tomorrow is the last day of food.  It will be up to you to find your breakfast.  The food will all be gone and I will switch to the Hummers.  Hope they are not mad at me for being late.  I decided I could not take care of two kinds of feeders, and I do love the Humming Birds too.  I see a pair of Mallards snooping around the Pine thicket.  Hope build a nest.  They did have one there several years ago.   Not them bur some just like them.  Would be fun to see babies come out of the old pine thicket.

Got the carpet cleaned. Smells good and looks o. k. for a 13 year carpet.  It has served me well and hope it goes on 'till I need it no more.  Got my hearing aids adjusted.  Hope that helps.  Stayed with J, till carpet got dry and had a wonderful lunch provided by her and even lay in Bryan's former room to take a nap.  I guess I was too "keyed up" to sleep for it escaped me completely. Oh well, I slept good last night.
