So the wind was howling around the outside of the house early this morning as if it were searching for something to blow away. Am pretty sure the trash bins have sprouted wings. But they just sat there on the side of the road with their lids blonking up against their backsides and making noises. Oh well.
The dogs are nibble hungry, so they have had three "bones" and some crusty little nibbles. They really go for this new kibble purchased from Amazon. Fifty pounds of goodies as far as they are concerned. The other kibble just sits there and looks sad until one or the other finally eats a bit of it. Then they look at me as if they are being mistreated. Silly dogs.
Brought in the pots with the tomatoes and itty bitty squash in them. Here in the living room are begonias and lobelia on the stool used for climbing. Hope tomorrow actually gets warm like it is supposed to. Sixty-one is not really "warm" but better than fifty-one. And later this week the forecast is for a possibility of more rain. That will be ok as long as it is decent this Saturday. Lance is supposed to be coming up with his family.
Talked to Jennifer earlier and she said that Grayson got his second Covid shot and is as sick as a poisoned pup. So wish this mess were over or that folks did not get sick while trying to protect themselves. And now that they have decided that the possibility of blood clots are much less than the possibility of getting Covid and dying, well, now the one shot situation has improved enough that the Jansen vaccine will go to all the spots that are hard to cover with the other vaccines. Having to have the right kind of refrigeration and having to have folks come back for the second shot makes the other two vaccines pretty unlikely to be popular in the far reaches of this state. Of course, that does not mean that Covid can't reach those places. Such is life.
Still have to go out and cover up the dwarf cherry trees, but think that will about take care of most of the situation. Can't really cover the seedlings coming up in the sunflower circle. Caught ISA in there this morning and had to remove her. She had managed to get between the two layers of wire and had scratched up an entire section of the circle. So the circle may be more like an orange with sections empty and others full. Leave it to the critters to decorate the place.
The FedUp truck has not shown up today, so who knows when the bed frame will get here. Not sure how long they run those trucks since all this covid mess has been around. But the UPS man came earlier and brought my new rice and veggie steamer. It is compact, but it looks as if it will be great for rice. The fresh veggies don't usually make it to my house much. They are frozen in bags--sometimes just the right amount and sometimes in huge quantities. Like the little steamer bags, but they are expensive.
Some guys just flew by and came to a screeching halt before deciding he had come down the wrong road. WISH folks would pay attention to those little signs that say "no outlet." Well, maybe they were NOT on the wrong road. They are over at Jerry's place with a truck and trailer. We shall see--or not. They just took out a couple of sections of his fence, so a call to JoAnn was in order. But they have left now. Should have got the license number. Oh well.
Thompson wanted outside at 6 a.m. Let him out and got up and got dressed. Had been awake since the paper boy came whizzing by at 3, so it was not like my sleep was interrupted by the dog. Next time checking on the dog was still dark, but it was apparent he had something out there he did not want to leave. Turned out to be another danged rabbit. Bleah, guts and all. But he let me take it to the gate and trash it. At least he did not fuss with me about it. Life is so much fun around this crazy bunch of critters.
Finally got the mouse to a reasonable size on my computer. Now the pointer does not cover the freaking page! But it is still easier to see than before. Not likely to ever learn all that needs to be learned just to use a computer. The kids have despaired that my phone never rings or something. It does once in a while. All it is needed for is to make a call or two or maybe to get a call. They seem to think that an i-phone will make things better, so when Rachel gets a new phone, Ma will be the recipient of the old one. Oh joy! Something else to learn.
Have been somewhat concerned about the BML or BM or BLM or whatever it is that has folks terrified of their violence. The outcome of that trial does not really guarantee that things will stay calm. And, of course, Maxine Waters got on her high horse about what she wants in the streets. Someone needs to slap that battleaxe! Just think about how many police officers, firemen, and EMTs have to deal with the crud in the streets that she wants flowing with violence! Our prayers will be with those who serve.
Honestly not in a good mood tonight. Think this wind is just about enough to make anyone cross. Did get a nice call from Bill Brown from Bill Brown Beef. He tried to explain the difference in how they sell things from the web site. We both agreed that there needs to be more clarity since they could either sell by the pound or by the package. So from now on, my text or whatever will be to Shelby so what is wanted is what is delivered. SUCH good beef. Had a ribeye and scrambled eggs this morning. Can't beat that with a stick. The only thing that would have made it better was a thick sliced tomato with cream gravy over it. Yum!
Going to tell you all that sleep is something sweet and special right now. Rest well, my friends, and get up to a better day tomorrow. You are loved.
