    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    don't feel so bad, today i was trying to get the washing machine to take some quarters but it wouldn't. the door wasn't shut all the way... to be fair Mom closed it and not me and i assumed she closed it all the way.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    a place i used to live a lot of the people took out their trash by throwing it in the back of their truck and then driving around and having it fly out wherever. yes, seriously... one of the annoying things i was glad to leave behind when i left that area.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    it may be their way of making a few extra $ each sale, plus it gets people back or talking about them or ? i dunno. i'm in the camp that the first time it's a mistake and i'll be ok paying for it, but if it happens more often i'm just going to tell them that if they keep doing it it's on...

    the little wild kingdom

    at last the beekeeping people removed their carpeting and metal barrel from our property so i can get that area taken care of and i won't have to worry about disturbing the hives. they did put about a dozen hives in another area that doesn't block access to the back part of our lot.

    What's for dinner?

    yesterday we took some servings of mashed potatoes and meat loaf out of the freezer to have for dinner. all good later even if there was a bit of the potatoes that were still frozen after i warmed them up. crunchy potatoes of not the kind you'd expect... :)

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    very nice looking open field. :) sunny here too, a lot of dew still on the grass so i'm not mowing yet even if i'd like to be (not really, but it would be nice to have it done before it gets really hot outside). i'll just have to take breaks to cool off. have to rustle up some breakfast.

    How do you turn food scraps or garden waste into something useful?

    since i've retired the worm buckets recently i've just been drying some things out and then burying them in the gardens, or if i'm not worried about them sprouting i don't bother drying them at all.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    not much yesterday other than sweeping most of the driveway (delivery guy tracked gravel and dirt from the road in when bringing in some mulch). [the rest is in theory until i actually do it :) ] today will be weeding some gravel areas/pathways. gardens too muddy from rains. tomorrow mowing.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    i've not been attacked by any hummingbirds but they do at times come flying by when i'm in the gardens as they can be curious and looking for you to feed them. yes, they know humans will feed them and i do think they are not too shy about asking... :) it's like being buzzed by a huge dragon...
