Plants! JK! Camera! Bike! 7.21.18

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:53 pm  

I thought this Logical Fallacies chart was interesting!

Dropped off the Financial Report that Ashley does at our treasurer’s house. Got to talk to Jon Paul this morning. His wife isn’t doing very well, and his daughter Melissa was in a near-fatal car wreck! Glad she’s ok although she’s pretty banged up.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Scars and Stars.” Good one!

Met up with Kathy and Jesse for lunch. Always fun!

Got more musical instruments: clapping hands! Everyone is in the band at The Show!

I thought this car was cool!



Got the groceries at Walmart. Interesting sign.

I like using my grocery bags. I feel green.

Rained a little over 1″ early this morning. Powerful thunderstorms. Had another big storm this afternoon. Barely made it back from my bike ride before it poured down. Even had some pea sized hail.

Cleaned and refilled my hummingbird feeders. I’ve just been putting out two. Went back to putting out all four, although just three are shown in this picture.

I love the little birds!

Also put out more suet. I had flying squirrels last night. I just saw them a moment ago this evening, too. I think relocating 40 squirrels has opened up the area to them.

I scrape suet on the bottom of the trees for birds and animals that don’t like to climb.

Birdseed for the finches. Most animals also like the sunflower seeds.

A species of tiny white mushrooms likes these pinecones.


Cleaned off my carpet outside.

The fascia continues to bloom. What a blessing my plants are to me!


Cleaned out my St. Francis garden. I like him.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this afternoon.

Transferred my new podcast from my recorder to my computer. I’m still two weeks ahead. I like that.

My twitter feed is nearly two months ahead! I have a program that releases five tweets a day from 7-11pm.
Wrote my final emails to our three teams. Has the four photo galleries and link to the video I shoot of them plus a variet of promotional links.

I have hundreds of these team videos on my YouTube channel.

To say I am prolific is an understatement.
Since I had flying squirrels at my feeder, I hooked up my trail camera. It will shoot video of anything that trips the motion sensor.


I used to have it up all the time, but once I saw the animals that came around regularly, I didn’t need it any more and brought it back inside.

Watered my plants. My orchids give me such joy.


It’s been fun to see Jesse take an interest in plants. He has quite a garden as well. Most all of his have been grown from seeds or bulbs!
I love my plants.

It’s been fun to have the plants along with my rock and porcelain collection.

I keep almost all my succulents inside now. They really take a beating from the animals, especially the squirrels. And the heavy weather is also hard on them.

I’m fascinated by the carniverous plants. The pitcher plants are exquisite.


The fertilizer has really helped the African Violets to bloom. I’ve been to forests in Kenya where these grew naturally.

Infinite variety of cacti.

I also collect fossils and antique globes.

Went for a 4.81 mile bike ride. I would have loved to gone further, but barely beat the rain home.

Powerful clouds!



Broke 1,000 people on my email list from the teams. This represents only a couple of years worth. I also add the adults to the newsletter list for about four months. If they don’t give, they drop from that list. They can always read the newsletter on line!

Admin duties now.
