I finally got both hummingbird feeders up today. I had one up but hadn't filled the second one yet. I also went around and checked the tomato plants and got two ripe tomatoes (one decent, one on the small side). I picked two nice size green tomatoes for our neighbor, Chrissie, who had asked for a couple. Then I picked about a dozen or so cherry tomatoes that were ripe for our salads, which I made today to go with our soup (chicken noodle).
I made a trip to Dollar General and bought us some B12 tablets since our diets have been so crappy and, after reading about it's importance, decided we could do with some. I only bought the 1000 mg. ones since I don't want to overdose us by accident. I really have no idea how much of that is needed. I found some soft pink slippers and bought those while I was there and it was a good investment. They are warm and comfortable on my feet which usually feel cold to me. Then I broke down and bought a small candle (layered fragrances) since I was already spending more money than we really could afford. It was just $3.50 but seemed like a lot to spend on such a small candle. I just hope it lasts for a while. Especially since we don't get our SS checks until the 8th of July. *Sigh*
I got a big surprise today. My bff, Carol, sent me another 5# bag of Kauai coffee beans. I was shocked because I really didn't expect it. She's been so generous in the past but I sure didn't expect it to continue. She is such a sweetheart. Of course, she is the one that got us hooked on it in the first place...LOL. She just laughed and said she was our *dealer*.
The Beast's knee is really giving him a LOT of trouble. It's painful and was swollen today. I'm wondering if he's developed arthritis in it. I'm making him an appointment to see our doctor on Monday so he can find out what's up with it. I just know something needs to be done about it.
When I was picking the cherry tomatoes, I made notice of ones that will be ready for picking in about two days. The regular tomatoes will be a bit longer than that but there are some nice size green ones that I can hardly wait for. The Beast watered them well tonight because they needed it. The leaves were beginning to wilt a bit. Not badly but enough that it was noticeable. He waited until the sun was almost ready to set before watering so the plants should look a lot perkier tomorrow. If not, I will give them more water while the Beast is at church. I need to check my strawberries again, too. There should be a few more of those babies ready to pick.
It looks like we may get a summer squash or two, also. The Beast never cleared out that section very well and guess what is growing? You got it! A nice vine. AND it has a couple flowers on it and one that is already forming into a squash. Looks strange since it's so small...LOL.
That's about it for today. Love you all and I hope you are enjoying your weekend. ***Hugs***
HINT: Give dying indoor plants a second chance with this odd little treatment. Let three empty eggshells sit overnight in a couple of cups of water. Multiply the amounts as needed. Then use the eggshell water the next day when it's time to water the plants.
