whoa

I had a busy day, again

    We had help this morning, so I was t taking a nap when I was awakened because of the bird in our back yard.

    It was a magnificent creature and I am glad they got me.

    The pictures don't do it justice.

    But pictures are what I am falling back on to tonight.

    I mowed the yar, in about an hour.  Then I changed the battery in the back door lock so now it works when you punch in the code.  I also ran cleaners in the washer and in the dishwasher, which actually did not require any work at all.

    The back door has an electronic lock.  It came with a key.  I can't find the key.

    I thought it might be in the ever present junk drawer, but it was not.

    I did find 4 three cent stamps, a 47 cent stamp, and several 2 cent stamps.  I think if I put all of them together it would still not be enough to mail a letter.

    A reasonable person would toss them.  

    Unfortunately, I am not a reasonable person.

Peace and Love

The focus is not too great, but you get the idea. Wonderful plumage.

I think it was looking for ground squirrels.

Royal catchfly

The bur oak has acorns!  And galls!!!  Lots of galls.

This is stuff from our drawer.  The circles seem to be parchment paper, but I don't know where they came from.  There are 2 plug in thermometers, but I don't know what they  plug into.  The thingy in the upper right looks like an outdoor thermometer.....but we don't remember seeing any of these things!

It's a handy tool......never knew I had it!
