Vaccinated supper tonite… Live from NYC…
Today was a hot one… 91°F… thankfully low humidity and a stiff breeze… making the temp tolerable. New addition to our bird population arriving today… pair of gray catbirds nesting in the area… spent much of the day hopping about on the garage roof and in the bushes nibbling insects and enjoying the breeze. Slightly larger than a sparrow… grey body with a cute black cap and upright black tail… related to mockingbirds and thrashers… pleased to meet a new resident 🪶
Breakfast today… light… no real appetite in the heat… coffee ☕️🧋for two… kibble for one 😽 hubs having his scrambled eggs and cheese in a wrap… just a banana for yours truly… Mr Sam snoozing under the couch in the air conditioning 😻 💤
Hubs spending the day sorting wood… his recent acquisitions giving him a good load of pallets to disassemble… plus some donated boards by a local group… he is happy to be stocked up and ready to create 🪵
Spending the day working in the greenhouse… glass of cool water on hand keeping the heat at bay… repotting a few seedlings 🌱 needing larger quarters… several pots of new flowers needing larger pots… vinca… geranium… giving hubs new planters a flash of color and cheer 🪷
A few meals made recently… baked turkey meatballs with penne and fresh roasted tomatoes and Parmesan… ground turkey sauté with caramelized onions, cannellini beans and roasted tomatoes… sliced mango with fresh greenhouse mint… cucumber red onion and tomato salad… and finally… a favorite from cooking shop in middle school… tuna noodle casserole 🥘
Been absorbed baby sitting for Princess Veronica 👸🏻 and watching the January 6th hearings… leaving little time for Facebook… feeling overwhelmed with sadness at the divisions in our nation… respect decidedly missing in conversations on both sides… folks forgetting the rules of disagreeing without being disagreeable…
1. Stick to the topic… don’t bring up the past…
2. No name calling… insults or threats…
3. No yelling… raising voices or violence…
4. If tempers flare... take a break to cool down…
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
