This and That
Sunday, May 25, 2008 at 06:50AM Random musings on a sunny, Sunday morning:
I haven't seen my trifocals for over a week now. I wasn't too worried when they were first missing because I misplace them all the time. I was pretty sure they were in the house somewhere and figured they'd turn up in the linen closet or under a chair or some other strange place but I'm beginning to think I've lost them. I'm good at losing things. If I lose my bifocals, I am sunk.
Mama Bird is busily feeding her babes. Papa Bird is an ever present presence in the yard now. One of them swooped me when I was weeding under the nesting tree yesterday. I'm thinking it must have been Papa because Mama isn't particularly bothered by me. Here she is this morning, sitting on her fuzzy gray chicks. (I peeked in the nest while she was out pulling worms but by the time I came back with my camera, she was back on the nest) As you can tell by the movement of the camera, Papa wasn't nearly as tolerant of my intrusion into the privacy of his family.
I (well, Tom) made a new bed for my shasta daisies yesterday. They weren't thriving beside the sidewalk where they've been for the past two summers. I think they don't like all the snow piled atop them during the winter. Hopefully, they'll like the new digs better.
See these? They're not weeds! They are tiny lavendar plants. I'm going to leave them alone for a while and then transplant them when they get a little bigger.
The spiderwort is just starting to bloom this morning.
The girls like to sleep on the porch in the mornings. It's like a green house with the sun streaming in the windows.
I forgot about this picture I took of the cloud formations on Friday evening. Don't they look like cotton candy?
We got a new super duper printer for my business yesterday so this afternoon we'll be re-arranging the whole office to accomodate this new piece of equipment. It always makes me nervous to mess around with the computer cables and cords. If you don't hear from me, you'll know why. . .
I need to go get ready for church now! Have a wonderful Lord's Day!

Yippee! I found my trifocals yesterday! They had fallen behind a stack of books on the shelf beside the bed.
We won't discuss how often I dust those shelves. . .

Have a wonderful day! Hopefully you can also have a great rest like those puppies of yours :0)
The dogs look so peaceful.
Hi Kim. What a fun post. I feel like I was chatting with you after reading that.
Glad you found your trifocals.
Best wishes with your lavender. XO
Glad you found your trifocals and that you liked the cake. I love that it is a one-pot deal.
