The Beast has a tomato plant that has six tomatoes on it already....they will be ready for picking in about a week. I swear, that man is developing some serious skills with his plants. I just hope the raccoons don't get at them before WE do...lol.
I feel soooooo much better now but...the bad thing is that I slept so much that I am not the least bit tired yet. This is going to screw up my hope to keep more normal hours. I hate being up most of the night and then ending up sleeping the day away.
Lady has decided that she really likes to be out in the yard even more than in the house. I think whoever had her kept her in their yard and she's not really relaxed in the house. She acts like it's a bad thing at times. Very weird. But the Beast took our igloo dog house and put a few rugs in it and it's on the porch of the *cottage*. The entry is facing the deck so we can see her if she starts using it. He also cleared out the plants and weeds that were under the deck. It's all dirt down there and I told him that's where she will probably go if it rains. We found a hole in the yard that looks like it might be a rabbit hole. Lady discovered it and she watches the hole a lot. I think she is waiting for the rabbit to come out. What she wants to do when it does, I have no idea. Guess we will have to wait and see. The Beast said he would fill the hole but....there's no dirt around it for him to use so he's going to have to find some good dirt to fill it.
I hate the idea that it might suffocate the animal...whatever it is since we don't really know yet. But the Beast thinks it will more likely drive it out. How he plans on keeping it out of our yard, I have no idea. A trap? But how do you attract a rabbit so that it will be trapped? Lettuce? Carrots? And he would have to release it somewhere far away. He was thinking of using some gopher poison but I think that's cruel. Any suggestions?
I was playing my Jewel game for a couple hours so I missed seeing my sister online. She left me a message on Yahoo Instant Messenger, however. We usually talk there...much easier and you can see the chat much better, too.
Well, I am still waiting for warmer weather here. I think the tomatoes need it....LOL. I know that *I* do. I am definitely a warm weather person. I want to hibernate in cold weather. I can understand why bears do it. They don't like the cold either. I am waiting for the hummingbirds to make it back here. It will have to be warmer for them to make the trip from where they winter. I think they go to Mexico or maybe it's just Florida. I'm ready for them and so are my feeders. I finally put them out. I had one show up today but he seems to be alone. An early arrival, I guess. Poor thing. Must be lonely. But now he will defend the feeder he was using. They are not really nice to each other when they are hungry. We also have enough flowers that attract them all over the place, including hanging baskets that are in good places. The Beast looked up what kind of flowers they like and got several different ones so there's a colorful variety.
Love you all. Hope you missed me...LOL. Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend. We should....they say it will be in the upper 70's on Saturday and warm weather for us for at least a week. It's about time! ***Hugs***
Fuchsias. Hummingbirds love them!
