Good afternoon, We are sunny & 50*
I've been out to fill bird baths. Never did get the heated one back up this year as I still have logs in my yard. I am going to send Steve's daughter a text soon asking how her Dad is & if he's doing OK? (hint-hint) It's a fine line I'm trying not to cross because he is not charging me anything for this. But I would like the darned logs out of my yard so I can start re-building the beds.
I did go hang the backyard feeder up on a new branch that should be out of the way whenever he gets back to clearing out the yard. No birds on my PB Feeder or the Suet cakes out front yet. They usually draw a lot of birds. But I did see a few on the back feeder after I put it up. I don't know where all the birds have gone.
I pulled a huge branch out of the tree that broke off & got hung up in the remaining branches when the other tree fell on it. I think they are all down now. All that I can reach for sure.
Took care of things in the greenhouse while I was out there.
I have a Senior moment story for you & you can laugh if you want. I went looking for my Salvia seeds this morning & couldn't find them anywhere. Dumped out the whole seed box & nope, not there. Then I realized I also didn't see any of the other seeds I had ordered from Swallowtail. Hmm, did I not get them & then forgot about them? Went looking for a receipt for the shipment, couldn't find that either. Went online to check previous orders & I never ordered them. Apparently I made out the order list & that was it. But I had them all written down on my seed starting schedule as to when & how to start. Just no seeds. I have now ordered them for sure & have an e-mail acknowledgement to prove it. They will be shipping them Tues & fortunately still early enough to start them. SMH at myself.
I did find some more Texas Star Hibiscus when I dumped the box so I'm going to re-sow those. And I have some YS I can sow.
Yep, Tasty MB is or at least was the golf capital of the South. LOL When I lived in Tn. everybody went to MB for a vacation & play golf. People would say "I'm going to the beach next week". I was always like "What beach? There's no beach in Tn." Then I found out what beach & we started going there every yr. But not for the golf.
Mary, I buy certain things like pet food at WM because it is cheaper there. But here actual groceries are cheaper at Food Lion. I also get a lot from Dollar Tree.
Had a nice time last night. My neighbor stayed to play in the next band up so his wife & I stayed a while longer. Still home before midnight though. Now I need to rest a couple of days before going to work one day (probably Wed.)
Doing a load of laundry so need to go take care of that. BBL
