We had a mostly quiet week (me being under house arrest
& all), so these are perhaps not the most exciting pictures. Um, but they’re
the same kind of pictures I post every week. Hmmm – maybe after my hip surgery
we need to start doing more interesting things!
Sunday,
July 9th
This is perhaps the most pathetic picture of all – my dinner
Sunday night: a boiled egg, broiled green beans, & cucumber tomato salad.
But ya’ll, it was QUITE tasty.
Monday,
July 10th
I was walking through the living
room & saw my current crochet project. I noticed now well it matches our
curtains and the table that my cousin the potter made. Maybe I’m supposed to
keep this & give the bride something different?
Tuesday,
July 11th
My view while I was working.
Wednesday,
July 12th
A turkey & mayo & peanut
butter & jelly sandwich. My version of a Monte Cristo? This concoction got
a number of negative reviews on Facebook, but it was so good that I had it for
three days in a row!
Thursday,
July 13th
Daylily.
Friday,
July 14th
I went from the soft squishy acrylic
yarn project to the much smaller wool yarn project. A bit of textural culture
shock for my fingers!
Saturday,
July 15th
Today three
very exciting things happened. First, my cousin loaned us a teenager to cut our
grass! This enabled Dr. M to spend his energy on weedeating. The yard looks
great!
Next, my ramp
came & I was set free! We went to Bojangles – ha! It’s what Free Range Bugs
do. (Note: I can't even with the bang situation. I look like a teenage boy in this picture.)
Finally, we
knew that a wren had built a nest in one of our petunia baskets, but we weren’t
sure if anything was happening in there. You can barely tell in the bottom left
picture, but that’s a large baby bird maw waiting on dinner! Dr. M saw several
in the nest. Very exciting!
36 days until surgery – we’re getting there people! Did
anything exciting happen in your life last week?
You're doing well, Bug, and only 36 days to go. The time will fly by.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bruce! Love you and yours!
DeleteI love your baby birds! My "baby" bluejays still are coming for their peanuts. Of course, their parents are, too. For all I know, the grandparents may be showing up. It's ok with me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that faux Monte Cristo, but whatever you've got your mitts around at Bojangles looks super-duper to me. Excitement? How about a four foot long alligator crossing the road in front of me? That was pretty cool -- especially since I was in the car. Otherwise? Just crossing my fingers that the rain stops, so I can finish a job this week. It's been what we call varnishers' rain: 20 minutes here and there, with sunshine in between, but everything too wet to work. Ah, well.
Love the ramp, and love the thought of a free range Bug. Think how free you'll be in 36..35..34...
Thank you! Love you!
DeleteA turkey & mayo & peanut butter & jelly sandwich.
ReplyDeleteI can't judge. My uncles woofed down numerous banana and mayo sandwiches when they were in their twenties.
Banana and mayo is BOMB! Evn better with peanut butter. But her combo? Eat at your own risk, lol!
DeleteNot commenting on your Weird Food combinations. You do you, as they say.
ReplyDeleteI will, however, commiserate anytime on Hair Angst. Humidity producing flat lankness? Same here. Bang cowlick? Holy crap, and out of nowhere! Looks great and then you step outside for ten seconds? Yep! Ready to give up and grow it out and then it drives you crazy and you cut it again? Sigh Sigh SIGH!
So glad your ramp came to help you get out and about again! It will be a Difference Maker for sure.
Big sister to one of my history majors once told her kid sister "you be you, boo!" Best advice ever...so long as I don't have to eat it, lol! Love you!
DeleteI love wrens and baby wrens! I was just out there trimming back some of the major growth over at the shop. ran out of trimmer cord. just as well, I had worked for my allotted hour. can only get out there early in the morning because...summer.
ReplyDeleteYes...summer. Love you, Ellen! Our baby wren is gone...we know not where. I can't even right now...
DeleteIt is such a funny feeling when you switch such drastic yarns & the texture in your hands.
ReplyDeleteYAHOOOO for the ramp! I needed that when our dog has such bad hip problems!!!
Might be the wrong ramp for a dog, but yes, they are out there and Prairie View Industries is the (made in USA) bomb for human ramps!
DeleteTurkey, mayo, peanut butter and jelly all in one sandwich? It doesn't sound appealing, but perhaps I should give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYou are on your own, Stephen, lol! My wife is...different.
DeleteNothing nearly as exciting as your baby wrens has happened to us this week.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll take a pass on the turkey & mayo & peanut butter & jelly sandwich. You certainly eat some exotic things.
So glad you got your ramp. Bugs must be free!
lol, and free range Bugs for the win!
DeleteI love your supervisors in Tuesday's photo!
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying anything any more about your horrid sandwich combo, but I do have to say that your Sunday dinner looks a bit...well...puny. I'm on a diet and I eat way more than that!!!
We made up for it later...love you!
DeleteCute wrens! I'm so glad you got your ramp and you're able to go out to dinner now because CLEARLY YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND when it comes to making your own food.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL! I love you, Steve...
DeleteI enjoy seeing glimpses of your life, photos that reflect how see your world.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I discovered a nest in our wreath and two small eggs. Today mama bird is sitting on the eggs.
Only a month to go. Hang in there!
Thank you, Sweet Pea! Love you and yours!
