Come Sit and Chat

 Hello all.  Here we are in the last week of the month again!  Time flies when you're having fun!  I hope this finds you all well, and I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

I stayed home all weekend and just enjoyed quiet time.

It is a 60's morning here.  The sunrise was so beautiful this morning - the pinks and oranges were something.  I was standing at the kitchen window looking at it and up flies a hummingbird for a drink!  What a great way to start the day.

I often wonder about folks who don't get up early and never see the glory of God in the skies, and I think about what they are missing.  It sure is something.

Last evening at sunset (about 9PM) the horizon was just gorgeous and bright pink in EVERY direction!  WOW.

Come sit with me and chat for a while.  I just love my walkway up to the porch.  Lots of red, white and blue flowers - I have my little yard flags out (you can't see the 2nd one).  Lots of sunflowers coming up and will soon bloom thanks to the birds!

Sunday the race got completed 100%, with no rain.  That was a good thing.  I hear that it poured just after the race ended in Speedway. My neighborhood did not get a drop - it was just cloudy.

I am not a huge race fan, but did see bits of it on TV, and the ending was sure something!  It set records and made history for the closest finish ever.  It was pretty darn amazing; I even caught myself yelling at the TV.

I watched the opening ceremonies and listened to Taps (and cried), then I went out to the porch, and I got to see the flyover of the fighter jets at my house.  I could hear them all the way out to the track - it was a muffled rumbling sound, then all of a sudden there they were and that noise is something.  They went directly over the house and were still in the missing man formation.

I know many may think I am nuts, but I find it so moving.

Thought I would show you my little kitchen lettuce and green onion 'garden' outside the kitchen door.

It is just me, so I don't need a lot - and this works perfectly.  I can continue to plant onions.  I had some fresh lettuce yesterday on a sandwich - YUM.

I dropped my glasses last week on the driveway (cement).  Now I have a couple scratches right in the middle of one of the lenses!  Anyone have an easy 'hack' to help cover the scratches until I can get my eyes checked and get new glasses?  I can still wear them for now, but it is noticeable and a little annoying.  I don't have to wear them all the time and can just wear readers for close up, but I do wear them some.

Any help?

Boy oh boy the tulip tree is messy right now.  Flowers are dropping all over.  Especially after a wind or rain.  This is looking out the bedroom window.

This was how it looked before I could get out to mow and trim and those darned petals were all over.  By the way, I did get to mow and trim yesterday - so happy.  The petals are cleaned up for the moment - until it rains later today!

Well, there are new members on the little homestead!  Pip, who I thought was a boy cat, had babies!  Yep - I try to get the females fixed first - but I made a mistake with Pippy.  She is so small herself and has the littlest head and neck - just so darn cute (about 9 months old).  I believe there are 3!!!!  A black one, a black & white one, and an all-white one!!!!  Now her momma and daddy were both solid black, and so is Pip and her sibling - and here is an all-white one, I figure old Tom must be the daddy! (he is b & w).  She has them in a secluded area in the greenhouse and lets me take a look from a distance. They aren't even a week old and so tiny.  Hopefully I get to see them close up soon!

So, I will have other choices coming up in about 7-8 weeks or so.  Sigh!

I am so upset; I hate having to give animals away and separate them.  You know me, the old softy.

Well, I guess I better get busy and do some outdoor work before rain comes in.  

Thanks for sitting and 'listening' to me talk.  Join in the converstion.

I hope you all have a lovely day.

Thank you for being here!!!!
