I wanted to post a bird photo

.... for the group I used to visit and hang out with .. at Paying Ready Attention.... remember Wild Bird Wednesday? ..

The sun was so pretty this morning very early...and, I tried for a chickadee against that backdrop.  They were so busy flitting in and out of the lilac branches ... I couldn't catch up at all...

This is my reward for trying.....nothing at all really.... little buggers....

I must be totally out of practice.










Aha!!!   finally, something that worked out!  Lemon squares!  hahhahahha........ I'm already practising for the festive season.  MMM.....  these are yummy......

AWOL

Why I can't just add something small here and there escapes me.  Some days it just won't happen...
The ribs are getting better...but still not as good as I'd like them to be.

I've been having some laser treatments on my elbow...and hoping it responds as well as the other elbow did back in 2013 ... what a walking disaster eh?  My neck is killing me...hahahhahahha oh, brother ... I don't dare ask what next?

Been working in the yard trying to get things ready for winter..and, baby sitting cement finishers in the garage.. had the floor repaired and epoxied... is that a word? Epoxy put on the top of the repaired cement.  Hopefully now there won't be any more chunks of cement pulled up by the overhead doors when they get frozen to the floor on cold days.  They are a'comin'.... although, right now the weather is better than a lot of days in the summer... and just slightly cooler ..which would be great for golfing....but, the courses are readying for winter too and leaves are all over the place now... can't find the balls when they go off the fairway. They are aerating, spreading sand on greens, etc... kind of not worth the effort now.

I don't even want to pull out the potted flowers and plants...they still look great... but, it is a matter of  maybe a couple weeks now till it gets cold....I'm leaving the good ones til the last minute..but, cutting back the daisies, the lilies etc.... we had to cut the Hawthorn down too... Fire blight for the third time.  I give up.  Maybe a crabapple there instead.  And after the high winds of the last few days picking up a million (I kid you not!!) little teeny cones from the neighbours two big, old, dirty spruce trees.  If they'd water them a bit they'd be a lot healthier and not produce so many of the silly things....but, they won't water and they won't take them down.  Go figure.

Look at the late blooming Bacopa ...and, the beautiful Lobelia...it lasted all season.  First year for that.  Lovely.....
