It started out a really nice day....bright, sunny and warm. The Beast left to meet up with some of the people from his church. But he returned earlier than expected due to the fact that it got dark out and started pouring down rain. That brought their outdoor activities to an end.
I had said that we would do the weeding the day after we had a good rain so that's what we will be doing tomorrow. It's really needed but the weeds will be much easier to pull after today. The other thing that the Beast did today was head up to Aldi's to buy some bird seed since we were all out of it. The birds were perching and voicing their objections until the Beast finally felt guilty. He also picked up a few other things (he just can't resist...lol), mostly canned goods. He likes to buy his bird seed there since he discovered it was a lot cheaper than at Walmart AND he could get the song bird variety which contains many more of the pumpkin seeds or whatever they are. The birds love them.
I had a hummingbird attack on my feeders for them for some reason. One had been half full and it's empty now..well, almost. The other one has only a quarter left in it and it was also half full. I guess they are firmly nesting now and it's much faster for them to eat and run back to their nests. They don't have to visit a lot of flowers to get the nourishment that the feeders can provide much faster. Since I still had the one with fluid in it, I didn't refill the other one yet. I really didn't want to get wet. The early birds will have to feed off the big feeder.
We tried this garlic chicken with noodles made by a Chinese firm for dinner tonight. It was tasty but.....it actually made my tongue numb for some reason. I don't know if it was the strange spices or the garlic in it. I love garlic but I almost couldn't finish what I had. The Beast and I agreed we would never buy that particular kind again. We've had much better esperiences with other things made by the same company.
The first birthday party for Gunner is going to be held on Saturday afternoon. Sister Cee won't be there but a lot of other people will be. I'm definitely going and I have to remember to call the Princess and ask her if she wants me to bring something. I'm hoping it's a nice day. I am feeling almost normal again and that makes me feel good. I can do more around the house again and even make lunch and dinner again. The Beast and I often compete since he has learned to like cooking. He often gets very creative as you know. I was surprised the first time he made us patty melts. He did a wonderful job with them. It was a surprise that he even tried it. He got the onions just perfect. That's what he says he wants to make us for either lunch or dinner tomorrow.
Well, it's late and I would like to be up early to get the weeding done. It won't be a fun job but it has to happen. They steal a lot of the nutrition the tomato and pepper plants need. I was kind of surprised that there aren't many weeds in the strawberry patch but they've spread so much that I don't think the weeds are getting any sun at all. But I will make a closer inspection tomorrow.
Love you all. I hope you have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend. Be good. Smile a lot. ***Hugs***
