Take a deep breath now because summer is on its way! HOWEVER! The rest of this week may actually be decently comfortable. It is supposed to get up to 91 tomorrow, but for the rest of the week we won't see 80 until next Thursday. Works for me! And yes, it is supposed to rain, rain, and rain. But we have lived this long without floating totally away, so maybe a bit more rain won't make us all turn to rust.
Today my yard is being hit with a weed eater. SO very happy to have Landon Malay out there whacking away at the weeds and overgrowth. He knows a flower when he sees it, so maybe we will still have a few flowers in the front bed by the time he finishes. Not going to worry about it either way. As it is, Shelby just came by to get some Bluebonnet and poppy seeds. It is so neat to know that she is the granddaughter of Gilda (Bird). Still remember seeing Gilda's little daughter in her crib shortly after the babe's birth. TINY little thing! But maybe all little ones are that size at birth. Perspective!
Have the AC on in here in the living room. And still have sweat running down my back! Oh well. Have a feeling that Landon is going to regret not using sunscreen! That sunshine is intense!
So the broody hen is just out there sitting on the nest. Not going to make her change her mind. It is too hot to make her live in that little coop right now. Did some research about broody hens and Marans and found out that the checkered looking Marans are called Cuckoo Marans and the ones with some copper color on their necks are Copper Marans. Mine don't have a lot of copper, but the black ones are definitely not Cuckoos.
Dr. Blackwell's nurse is supposed to be by to pick up some eggs. So glad she is coming by rather than my having to drop them off today. [She texted to say she would not be here--ill.] Spent the morning being pretty busy by going to Wally World to get the strange oil for the weed eater, water by the case, and a few other things. Danged expensive to go to that place! Then went to get gasoline for the weed eater and then to the feed store to pick up dog food and scratch. The boys were sweet enough to bring in the dog food and empty the scratch up into the bin. Also went down and got the mail early this morning and picked up two packages. Now have one of those UV lamps to kill viruses and stuff. And put a new air thing in the living room to kill stuff and make the air feel better after it is filtered. Not sure if this will work or not, but trying like everything to stay healthy. Jennifer said that Lance would not let me come to his house to see them because THEY had been exposed to Covid--not that they were worried about getting it from me. Even so, hate to not see my kids. But will not go around anyone if the sneezes are coming from me, either!
So the weed eater had to have a new little rubber bulb thing--just happened to know where one was as two were in a package the last time we had to buy one. How's that for some green apples! Then it got flooded and had to sit a bit. And then some. Oh well. The rest gave us time to visit. It's always good to be able to see life from a different perspective.
Still reading on Nineteen Eighty-four. May or may not finish it tonight. It takes some doing right now to stay interested in some things. And then there is the size of the print. The one super duper great thing about my Kindle is being able to adjust the size of the print and the light behind the screen. It works, dear hearts! The eyes may be old, but the Kindle makes it MUCH easier to read.
The dogs have had a really good day--three boys and one guy to pet and mess with them and give them scratches! Can't beat that if one is a dog, huh. Now if the hens were just that happy, the world would all be set in the right orbit.
Really don't know much of anything tonight. The AC feels good after the heat. Know morning will feel good even if it rains during the night. Home always feels good, especially when the birds are singing and the dogs are making that woo woo sound of contentment. Yep, life is good. As long as a person is not in pain, it is much easier to be happy with life. Feeling half way decent definitely makes a difference.
Here is praying that all of you are feeling good and finding happiness in your lives. Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
