~Monocular & Binocular~

Dutch has to be in Mom's Photos :-) I told him to smile :-) he didnt
listen as usual :-)
I am having the best time with these 2 doorways, watching

all the great stuff outside, this having the glass on the bottom,

we're missing the nice breeze right on us, but I can still feel

it and I can get some great photos now. I was sitting in the

front this morning and noticed something in the field across

the street. So, I got out my monocular, which is like a spy

glass like the old ship captains had centuries ago.. mine is

just a newer version that a very special dear friend sent to

me when I mentioned that I had my dads binoculars, which

are very good, but NOW I have a pair at each doorway, so

I don't have to risk dropping them. If I damaged my dads

I sure would be upset. I think I have a photo somewhere

of my dad holding them even, and I'm about 11 I think.. They

are Bell & Howell, and still great.
I saw Jesse black dog being let out by himself, where the

other dog was I have no idea.. Well, as I'm sitting there

watching Jesse, I see this spot moving really FAST headed

this way! I realized was a squirrel after a second or two of

squinting and finally getting out my spyglass to make sure.

It was a squirrel, I quick looked to see where the dog was,

cuz he will chase a squirrel I saw him do that. Jesse did

not see this one, he was too busy chewing on a zuchinni :-)

I sure didn't want to see that squirrel getting caught

by that dog and not be able to do anything. THAT

would be awful... I saw the 2 neighbors dogs escape

yesterday and I worried about them all night ! :-)

I STILL don't know if they got them back.
The squirrel made across the street, luckily no cars.

That one I watched try to get across the street that

time in 3 Rivers almost drove me nuts, he would start

across then stop, run back, till I just couldn't watch

him, there was a lot of traffic, but I never saw a little

body out there in the road so he either gave up or

made it across ! :-) Which this one did too. This one

is quite big.
We, I always say WE, like I do it.. PENNY changed

the water in the Hummer feeder. It says DO NOT

put food coloring in the water. I noticed the past

few days that I had not seen Hummy, that's what

I call the male and HumHer is the female :-) You

can tell the difference because of the red around

the males neck. Well Id mentioned to Penny that

maybe we need to make some juice for them, which

is just boiling water with sugar, 4 parts water to 1

part sugar. This morning they have steady been

out there, they are so fast I have a hard time getting

a picture ! By the time I get my camera on and shut

off the flash theyre gone ! I sit and call them tho :-)
I do.. I call them.. I call the cardinal when I hear his

"purtypurtypurty" he sometimes will come too ! :-)
Ive not seen him in a while tho.. But I sure am glad

not having the RED water the Hummingbirds will

still come by.. :-)
Rained all night with thunder and the whole 9 yards.

Today is gloomy and dark and threatening to rain.

Which I hope it does. I like seeing the grass green

and not all dry. I'm going to call Joe and see if he

may have an extra sprinkler and hose I can use. We

got a new hose last year but I guess was too cheap

and Penny says its not worth a crap.. it leaks.. so I

bet Joe would have a few, hes got lots of propertys.

I hope he does.. I really cant afford to get one. Well

I could if I save, but this being a 5 week month it

sure puts the screechers on doing anything extra. I
HAD to get the birdbath I had money put aside for

that anyway :-)
See Hummy on the left? I should name him Speedy! :-)

Ive been taking an aspirin a day lately and I sure can

feel a difference. The chest pains have ALMOST

stopped. If I get excited or wound up I can feel my

pressure going up and then the chest starts.. So I

am glad my 'plan of attack' on handling this rent

issue is working. It was getting the best of me, I'm

still not back back but I'm lots better, I am at least

REALLY enjoying my blessings of having this place.

I guess it doesn't matter how long I have it as long

as I ENJOY it while I do, and I am trying VERY hard

to do that. :-)


RINGY DINGY!!! The lunch bell is ringing! :-) and I

am kinda hungry, I have NO idea what for though, so,

I'll have to do a search and seizure out in my kitchen.

:-) SatDay today I may wait and make my favorite

things.. :-) I'm sure you know what that is too :-)
This GORGEOUS WEEBLE needs to get busy.. BUT!
"I SHALL RETURN!" I know your glad :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks!
ALways, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,
