Feeders! Fertilizer! Blow! 9.7.26

Tim A. Cummins @ 3:03 pm  

Ordered new hangers.

Screenshot

OYB!

Every month or so, I bring my gallon jugs upstairs to fill them in the sink. I have nine gallons. I water my plants with those jugs.

Español!

Screenshot

Much cooler today.

Screenshot

Made bird feeder nectar. I have four 2 cup feeders and two 1 cup feeders. Plus two mini feeders.

I don’t bring all the feeders in at one time. Too disruptive for the birds.

I clean and fill them.

Then hang them back up.

Fall is here. Blow, blow, blow we go.

Dealing with the cords and putting them up properly is a tedious, yet necessary job.

Worth it.

My banana plants were looking a bit yellow. I decided fertilizer was in order. This is my second feeding in a few weeks. That stuff really stinks. I also fertilized the deck plants.

K and I went to the Hibachi Grill.

K and I went to Lake Toccoa. We were going to eat at Ping’s Grill, but I wanted to sit outside and see the lake. But it was too hot outside.

K and I went on a weekend together to Toccoa, GA. We stayed at Toccoa Motel. If you’re from Africa you’d think it was nice. Otherwise not so much.

I’m always glad to be on Safari. These shots are from Cornerstone Antiques. I have a picture of one of the things I bought. Can you guess which one?

Team for next March.

K and I went to Los Amigos for dinner. I thought their salsa verde was too sour.

I left a brown paper towel in the back pocket of my shorts. What a mess in the washing machine. I had to shake out every single thing.

Cleaned and refilled the birdbaths and feeders.

Took care of my Mom’s business stuff. Mainly checked on accounts and cut checks.

Went to the UPS store to send back the plant hangars to Amazon.

Stopped by my office at FBCD to pick up checks. None.

Called my health insurance agent to check on whether we could upgrade J’s coverage. No changes until November.

Screenshot

Helped the kids at the Mission. Lots of homework.

One of the girls was memorizing a song in Spanish for her church. Made me so happy.

Feeding neurons is a long-term project.

Warm.

My little peppermint roses are blooming.

I brought a little plate of droseras from J’s room. It had gotten dried out. Sad. Plants are tough. Hopefully, they’ll come back.

I had the carnivorous plants separated. I decided to mix them together like they would be in nature.

Beauty.

K lost her sunglasses. She thought she left them at the Doggie Park. I didn’t see them at the table

There are supposed to be two helicopters in this picture but I don’t see them here.

Research on how to use the Mandelbrot Metal app.

Screenshot

I’ve never seen this before. Cool. Pileated Woodpecker with a hanging suet cage.

I installed two feeder/plant hangars today. One is by my window where I just installed screen mesh. The other is on the deck by J’s chair. The usual process of getting all the equipment I’ll need together first.

Hooking up power for the drill. Getting the drill bit in. Pre drilling holes is really the way to go.

Then I screwed the Phillips head into the frame of the window. One screw is sufficient. That hummingbird feeder isn’t heavy. I may put hanging plants there during the winter.

Put stuff away.

I cleaned the glass door on the deck and put a suet feeder there.

The feeder by my window is back in business.

I use wire to hang them. Works great.

I got the two new feeders by Amazon today. Cleaned, filled, and hung them out.

Drilled a hole and put screw in the hangar on the deck.

Deck feeder.

Recorded and released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Look See”

Duolingo has us competing against friends. We are usually at the top.

Watered my upstairs plants.

Most of my day was spent on the phone with Mint Mobile. I waited for a call back for over four hours. Finally got it all figured out. K has a usable phone again. Amen. Thank you, Father!

Screenshot

Her old iPhone 11 Pro Max used lightning cables. I had to change her cables out to USB-C for the iPhone 15+.

I put the screen protector on for K’s new phone and ordered a protective cover for the back cameras.

Screenshot

I wrote Thank You notes while I was waiting for Mint Mobile to call me back.

The new AC window unit has saved us money.

Second place this week. Just keep doing the work.
