Grandgirls! Yard Work! Azalea! 4.21.22

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:53 pm  

We had major internet problems last night. I had finished writing my blog, and suddenly it just went off.


Español!

Beautiful day.

OYB!

Beautiful morning.

My girls!

Full Sun Moon.

Palabras.

Adelante!

Big project today as I moved all my plants back outside.

Once I got them outside, I trimmed all the dead leaves away.

Swept all the debris out of the door.

Washed all the pollen off of the deck.

Beautiful.

Vacuumed the house.

Moved the outside plants from my room outside too.

Swept my outside carpet.

I brought out my door/ramp to get things outside. Man, am I glad I figured that out.

Watered the newly transplanted Liriope.

Filled up my tap water jugs.

Cleaned out my vacuum cleaner parts.

Cleaned and refilled the hummingbird feeders.

For the second time recently, I’ve seen a murder of three or more crows find an owl and just continue to dive bomb it to drive it from their territory. It occurs to me that me having the crows all the time is an either-or proposition. I have owls or crows but not both. I prefer the crows. They’re like flying monkeys.

Sprayed fungicide on some of my plants.

Helped the kids at the mission. Most of my kids are taking the Milestone test right now. I’ve been helping them review fractions or rounding or whatever. Some just come to hang out and play.

Cleaned off the door at the mission.

Mas y mas.

I just fed my Mama raccoon this evening. So cool to have her that close. It’s a real trust thing on both of our parts. I sat on my steps and fed her for about ten minutes. I was literally inches from her. Just kept dropping her pieces of dried dog food. So cool

Later, I spread the food out in it’s normal spot for the other visitors. I’ve seen four raccoons at a time recently.

I hope to start getting pictures of her soon. It’s hard to hit it at just the right time.

Grandgirls! Azalea! Lost! 4.20.22

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:54 pm  

I hope this helps a lot of people.

OYB!

Beautiful day. Cold in the morning. My weather station said it was 41 degrees when I woke up.

Español!

Love my girl!

Deposited checks. What a blessing.

Palabras.

I sewed one of Everly’s plushies up this morning. She was holding her paw to comfort her.

Adelante!

Watered my transplants.

We took Jessi to get her blood work done. Everly and I went to the pet store and to Krogers to look around.

I’m not even sure what this is.

We met Penelope at the bus and went to QT for a slurpy and doughnut picnic out in the yard. It was fun.

Helped the kids with their homework. We practiced some math principals in prep for their Milestone test.


Suddenly, one of the Bengali Moms came over to our table where we do homework weeping and just absolutely distraught. I immediately went into Emergency Mode. She said she had lost her daughter. I started ordering the kids around half of them searching one direction and the other the other half. I went down the road towards QT and saw two high school girls and asked them if they had seen her. They said that she had gone to Walgreens and was being held there. I shot off that direction and when I was nearly to the door a Bengali man walked out holding the youngster. It was obviously the lost kid. Amen for finding her. I went back and told the kids to hurry over to the Mom to let her know that her child had been found. Quite the drama.

Went by my office to check the mail.

Traffic was bad. Mr. Google sent me the long way around, but still faster.

When I was nearly home, I got a call from Kathy that 911 had been called to take Ann back to the hospital. More drama.

I was nearly hit by crazy drivers TWICE today. I saw their super bad driving, gave them extra room and they still nearly hit me. Crazy. Then on the way home this guy pulls out in front of me making me really slow down. I kind of looked at him like “What the hell, man?” He stuck his tongue out at me. Crazy talk.
