The Cardinals And Mourning Doves Are Back.....

I gather the Beast woke up early this morning because, when I got up shortly after 9, his camera and tripod were up and focused on the bird feeders once again.  The Beast happily informed me that the cardinals and mourning doves were back feeding.  However, since he had put up the camera, none of them had returned.  So all he had was the different wren-sized birds showing up.  He finally gave up around 11am and put all his equipment away.  That's when I noticed cardinal female was back feeding and I laughed and told the Beast he had given up too soon.

The Beast didn't go to church again this Tuesday.  This time he says it's because he's feeling too *thick* to drive (he did a couple times during the day, however, when the pain pill was at it's strongest).  When I tried to call him on the excuse he was making, he just snapped and was very nasty.  Why can't he just admit he doesn't feel like going?  That would be too honest, I guess.

This is going to be short because nothing interesting happened the rest of the day.  I napped, off and on, so did the Beast.  My gf, Marilyn, called me to tell me about the get-together this past Saturday and that they were thinking of getting together again in September.  I told her I could probably make that one so she was happy over that.  Cee was at Tara's babysitting for a couple hours while her son, Michael, drove Tara to her doctor's office.  It seems she had a similar problem to the Beast's and she was freaking out over it because she had NOT had the same problem the night before (like the Beast had).  I haven't heard yet what the doctor told her but I am hoping Cee stops by on her way home tomorrow (call me if you read this before you leave Tara's in the morning, Sis) if she DOESN'T read this first.

Anyway, I'm tired and ready for bed now.  Love you all.  Hope your Hump Day is at least a fun one.  ***Hugs***

HINT:  It's a little known fact that mosquitoes hate basil and tansy.  Keep those plants in your yard and around your porch.  If you're not familiar with it, tansy is a pretty yellow perennial, which has been harvested for it's medicinal properties for several thousand years.  In colonial times it was used to preserve meat and keep insects away.  It's a low-maintenance flower, except for the odor, which irritates some people almost as much as the bugs.
