The Beast is really disappointed that the cardinals are not finding the new feeders very appealing. They roost close to them but haven't been seen eating from them yet. We're not sure why. The big one (the barn and silo one) has the pumpkin seeds in it that they love and they can surely see them but it's the sparrows and other small birds plus the doves that are feeding. The Beast just loved the cardinals. I told him I am sure they will get used to the differences and start feeding again. They DO keep returning and staring at them while the other birds are feeding. I know they aren't afraid of the other ones. They always acted like THEY owned the feeders...LOL.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I don't know why I should care since it just means I am another year older.... But sister Cee is taking me to lunch to celebrate. It's so sweet of her since I haven't gone out to eat at a REAL restaurant since my 50th Anniversary last year. We probably wouldn't have gone then except we got a gift card from my bff, Carol. It pretty much paid for all that we ordered. We DID kind of pig out since we were at Red Lobster. I won't tell you just HOW MUCH we pigged out but, Wow! Did I enjoy that!
I've been really keeping an eye out on the tomatoes since I promised Cee some as soon as they ripened. I know why she wants some. It's because fresh tomatoes, ripened on the plant, taste so damn GOOD! I knew they needed to get a bit bigger before they would ripen so I watch that, too. I AM going to have a shitload of tomatoes so I will be able to make salsa and perhaps even have enough to can some diced tomatoes to use in my spaghetti sauce. Yum!
They ARE a bit of a pain to can because of having to remove the skins first. I just keep the sauce pan with boiling temperature water hot and ready. The Princess once helped me to do that. She loved how easily the skins slipped off after just a minute or so of being placed in the water. That was fun to do it with her. Cee says when I am ready to can, she will come over to help this year. I'm looking forward to that.
Time to get this posted and head for bed. Love you all. Stay safe and be careful in this heat. Stay hydrated. ***Hugs***
HINT: Instead of leaving your valuables where burglars can find them, hide them out in the open. For instance, wash out an old mayonnaise jar and paint the inside of it white. Let the paint dry and then place your money, jewelry, and other items inside. Store it at the back of your fridge and it'll still be there even if you're burglarized.
If you have any requests for particular kind of hints you may find useful (if there are any, it will more than likely be covered in this book), let me know in the comments. I'll look and find them and post them on here for you.
