Good morning fellow followers!

It seems like my Sunday is going 

to be a beautiful day here in TN.

High of 73, but a nice cool 73.

No rain. And I have a yard that is 

calling to be cut. Hope to get done

with my coffee, get dressed and 

head out to do that. 

But first I have to have my blog

time and FB surfing, I just gotta

keep an eye on the clock and 

not waste hours.

I thought today I would comment

to comments on my other 

post. 

Ann commented to 

my cat door post with this.

That is an impressive job on the 

cat door. Hope they decide they want

to use it. Your brother is too funny. Pink eye...lol

HAHA Ann, you are right, Mark is 

a mess. Isn't it funny how sibling's

can be so different even when raised

with the same parent.

Ray (oldest), no sense of humor at all.

Serious, hard to get close to.

Closed off. Needs to be in control.

Me (middle), aw hell, I think y'all know

me a lot. I think I have a sense of humor

and I love to make others laugh.

Mark (the baby) sense of humor, 

but most times it is sarcastic and dry.

I am closer to him then Ray, 

always have been.

 

Sheri over at 

Red Rose Alley

said~

 Isn't that a strange place to build a nest? 

She is referring about the part in 

a post about the bird nest about 

the part of my carport.

Sheri ~ not really, these are

"come" back visitors from last

yr. The thing about it though is 

if I don't pull the car in far enough,

they crap all down the back of

my car. I had planned on 

cutting some pool noodles

and slicing down one side to 

place over those bars to prevent

this from happening but I have

not picked up my ladder, at 

Mark's house and brought it up 

here yet. And I do need that.

Darla stated that she was

impressed with my skills with

setting up the cat door in the 

window. Thanks Darla. 

I decided that my electric bill

would do better with me 

keeping the door shut

and not allowing heat in 

and air out. With the cost of 

crap these days, I can use the help.

Oh yes and to reply to your question,

WHELP is my southern way for

saying welt. 

About a month ago I posted

issues with changing my stay 

awake meds and the issues I

was having. On the newer med I

think we finally got a new dose

that helps me stay awake but now

I am dealing with issues of 

not being able to go to sleep

at night. With that, here were

my bed buddies last night while

I kept thinking about 

SLEEP.

And yes, they were both in 

the bed together. Such a treat,

that does not happy often.

I went out touring the yard

on Saturday, something I actually

do daily. I check out my 

plants, and I love to see if any

of my seeds are coming up.

Just a 

WALK ABOUT!

Look what I spotted  

I am keeping an eye out for

fire ant hills. CRAP, I know

more than treat one then there

is another one. 

This one went up overnight, 

I figure around 10 inches round. 

I just keep my bag of Terro

granules on the front porch for

easy access. You can see this one,

I have already treated, before I

remembered to snap a pic.

Hoping to check it this morn,

and they are dead. 

Little devils.

When I moved into my new home,

the door was painted black which

matched the shutters. I used to think

that the shutters had to 

match the door, but I don't 

think so, so much now. 

When I moved in the first thing

I did was put my favorite saying

on the front door.

Anyway, I wanted to paint

my door which lead to more

decisions~ Paint over my

saying? Try to paint around the

letters, closely.

I decided to make a box

around the saying which 

would leave the background

black. But I think it works.

What do you think?

Oh yes, I went with purple on 

the door!! lol

I went with a deep dark color,

making it a subtle change but

giving me the color I wanted.

We have gotten away from a lot

of the ole wives tales that maybe

our grandparents or great grands

believed in. I have not heard

of this before but it is worth trying.

Guess I need to locate a pinecone 

or two.

1. A Natural Weather Predictor

Pine cones have an incredible ability to respond

 to changes in humidity. They open up when

 the air is dry and close tightly when moisture levels are high.

 This reaction makes them an excellent natural weather indicator.

How It Works:

• When the pine cone opens, it indicates dry weather with low humidity.
• When the pine cone closes, it signals rain or high humidity is on the way.

            There are six more reasons, you can 

                             look that up here. Why You Should Hang A Pine Cone Near Your Garden

Speaking of 

gardening,

On Monday I 

ventured to Lebanon,

way on the other side

of my old stomping grounds.

I have a friend that that

has a garden of all

types of things.

She had a load of 

plants for me.

YAY....will share later.
