Hi Potties! Time to catch up a bit.
Katie - Good luck with your next booster. I got my 2nd one last week. Ended up with a sore arm the next couple of days but that's happened every time I get one.
Those little cars of yours sure are colorful. Makes it easy to see why kids loved them.Max - I agree, Briscoe was really lucky to walk away from that wreck. Bet he was sore for the next couple of days tho. I was happy to see Chastain dodge all the trouble & get the win. It was a typical Talladega.
The main thing I have trouble finding at Walmart is canned cat food. I'd have better luck if I went to check every day since there's no telling when they'll be getting pet stuff. Usually anything else will show up within a couple of weeks.
Sorry to hear that you're still short on rain. I don't remember long dry spells back in the '50's & '60's - lots of brief showers tho.Shelly - Your boys have been lucky healthwise for the most part. I'll be hoping the "fish man" is one of those lucky folks who responds very well to treatment.
Maybe you'll see the rest of your furniture come through the door any day now. It seems like y'all have been waiting for a long time to get the last of it.
Blooming trees have both nectar & tiny insects for the hummers. The 1st time I ever saw a hummingbird I was maybe 6-7 yrs. old & it was in a blooming apple tree. I just checked my arrival map & found 2 have been spotted in the Erie area. One was seen Apr. 24th & the other was a male seen Apr. 27. If you put out a hummer feeder you might want to do it now. I haven't seen my girl for several days so she may be nesting already.
I remember Car 54, Where Are You? & about the same time was Mr. Ed (the talking horse).I finally made it to Lowe's on Mon. afternoon & they had a small selection of "hurt" plants. I came home with 5 red leafed begonias & about 3 dozen impatiens - all for just under $1 each. I got most of them planted yesterday & the rest this afternoon. I'll go back in the next few days in hopes I can find about the same amount so I can finish both decks & then just sit back & wait for them to grow. I took time to trim off some of the ivy stems that were killed by the bad cold snaps earlier this year. Still have a bit more to trim & l need to take some dead fronds off the ferns - they got nipped a bit in the last cold spell. Next project is to put out some hostas along the banked side of the driveway & I need to go to the old house & see if I can salvage the surviving bleeding hearts. I'd get a lot more done if I didn't lay abed with a book when I first wake up!
Zac came over some time Tues. AM & got Kermit & took him to his mechanic. He brought him back Wed. afternoon with an a/c that works. Seems the rats had gotten into something that made the a/c work & now it's all fixed in time for the 80* days that are coming. I'm hoping Zac's Shadow will help with rodent issue from now on. He's taking Smoke to be fixed next Mon. Yahoo!
Hope all are well & in line for some nice spring weather. Take care. Later.
Susan
