LOL, too funny!

I have to admit, I’m the type that misplaces things a lot, too. Except for in my kitchen. I tend to have a very good grasp of where everything in there is located.

However, the sunglasses that were just in my head but aren’t there anymore? Why didn’t I stick them on the desk in the cubby where I keep them? Garden gloves? Oh, I took them off to answer a phone call, walked around, and I can only find one of them.

Like yesterday, today I am doing a good deep scrub cleaning on our deck. I hope I finish it all today. It’s too hot to work for more than about an hour at a time. Need water and AC breaks every so often.

Are your orioles still visiting? The ones around here don’t seem to come to the feeders very often. I’m keeping the oranges with grape jelly fresh, just in case.

My Orioles are mad at me. After EIGHT jars of jelly, I said, ‘Enough!’ It took them about a day to stop coming to where the feeder had been. I also took in the suet and have cut WAY back on feeding them more than a scoop a day of mixed seeds and peanuts. I will feed the Hummers all summer and have planted Scarlet Runner Beans for them, too.

The two Oriole nests are still being used in the big Maple tree, so they haven’t picked up and moved, though I have not seen any young Orioles, yet. ;)

Yesterday I saw Papa Grossbeak bring, ‘Sonny’ to the feeder for the first time, so the next generation has begun and Life Rolls On. :)
