I swear my sister, Bratfink, is the Queen of Google searches. She found the name of the bird that really had me puzzled as I had never seen or even heard of one like it before it showed up at our feeder. It is the blue-black one with the brown head and neck area. It turns out it is a brown-headed cowbird. The Beast, when I told him, said *Oh, well, if they hang around the cows then it makes sense why they are around here. We have almost nothing BUT cows around here.* LOL! But thanks, Sis. *I* appreciate knowing what it is.
I had another good day today and we got through it with no rain until late this evening. It was 84 degrees at our warmest this afternoon and I turned my fan up a notch to cool down my computer room. We ate a very late lunch (but I had slept late so had eaten a late breakfast) and the Beast decided he had a taste for a steak and cheese sandwich made by a local restaurant. He just forgot to order extra pepperoncini but but I forgave him. I was hungry so I ate darn near the whole thing along with the fries that come with it. That's saying a lot since I usually can only manage half of it at any one time. But it tasted good to me, too.
I went with the Beast to his church's special celebration of the Last Supper just because he really, really wanted me to go with him. I can stand once a year so I went. At least the people who go there are nice and friendly. It only took an hour and we were home. My tummy had started making noises on me so I made myself some soup after I took off my *go to meeting* clothes....LOL. It had started to rain, lightly, when we were on our way home but rumor is that it will storm here later. I don't care. I'm nice and comfy in my jammies now.
The Princess and Johnnycakes bought a camper/trailer this past weekend and are taking the kids camping THIS weekend. She came over and borrowed our old grille that we use to burn cartons and stuff in now because the place they are going to be camping in doesn't allow fires unless they are *in* a container. They like to make S'mores or at least roast marshmallows so they came over and got it. The camper is a 30-footer which is a nice size. They will get a lot of use and enjoyment out of it, I'm sure. I wish we had had one when our kids were young. We did tent camping but we had fun even so.
Sister Cee now has an apartment but can't move in until the 11th of the month. It's a 2 bdrm. 1 bath, fully-equipped kitchen and even has a washer and dryer. The rent is cheap! I'm not going to put it in here since that's kind of nervy but Sheepie has a one bedroom without a washer and dryer and I'm pretty sure she pays more than what Cee does. Cee is going to go down on Monday to do the utility stuff she needs to get done and then it's just waiting to get moved in. It's not all that far away from what she said (although not as close as the house would have been). At least she will be settled in within the next week.
Well, I want to get this posted before the storm the weather channel was just showing on Doppler hits our area (I'll lose my internet for sure!). Love you all. Be careful driving and doing that last minute shopping for Easter. ***Hugs***
