WEE BIT OF A BUSY DAY BUT WE SENIORS CAN HANDLE IT

A PATCH OF INDIGO BLUE IN OUR GREEN CEDARS THIS AFTERNOON

Dealing with a growing forgetful mind is an ongoing and growing daily problem for many of us and I am in that bunch.  Forgetting to reply to emails and reader's questions is bad enough but not remembering those emails and questions coming in is even worse so tonight (before I forget) I'll answer a few remembered questions from the past few days...............…

NO SQUIRRELS ON OUR FEEDER STATION TODAY BUT LITTLE RED IS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT

INDIGO BUNTING ON LEFT, MALE ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK, AND FEMALE CARDINAL ON RIGHT

- Dizzy over at Dizzy's Wanderings and Wonderings wondered what the plant was in the third photo from the bottom on my Tuesday post.  Good question and one I do not have an answer for despite trying to find it on the Internet.  Horn Pipe and Pipe Stem sticks in my mind but I was unable to find anything under those two names.  I'm wondering if the Furry Gnome up there in Meaford Ontario might know.
- The reason for Kelly's long wait to have an MRI done is we think due to the shortage of hospital MRI machines here in our area or Canada.  The hospital MRI machines we do have run 24 hours a day and Kelly's appointment is scheduled for 7 o'clock at night.
- The Cedar colored paint I am using for outside decks is made by the Rez company and is called Revitalize.

- There was some concern expressed about Little Red being a Mother and needing a reliable food source.  Each time I dump birdseed on the feeder station I sprinkle seed around on the tops of a few flat stump post I have placed in the garden near the feeder.
- Are or will we be missing the Motorhome.  At the moment we are not missing it but come November I may have an entirely different answers for those two questions.  I generally always have a place in my heart for each and every vehicle I've (we've) owned and the Big was no different.  Kelly and I bought our first RV together in September of 1996.  It was a 17' 1979 Class C Dodge Centurion and it was the first of 7 RV's to follow over the years.  We were RV-less from 2004 to 2006 but have never been without an RV in the driveway from September 06/06 until now.  We may very well have one more RV left in us.  By the way I have a list of all our RV's and a whole bunch of other vehicles I've had over the years.  You can find them here at Clunkers.
- Seems like there is still another question from the last few days stumbling around in the cobwebs of my cranium but just can't think what it is.

BUSY FARMERS IN THE FIELDS TODAY

PHEEBS CHECKS OUT A DITCH FULL OF MARSH MARIGOLDS

A busy Thursday with Pheebs and I first stopping to make myself an eye appointment at Clinton's Huron Optometric.  Next was Sun Country for birdseed then a stop up the road at Clinton Tirecraft to get a quote on 4 Jeep Liberty winter wheel rims and 4 new summer tires.  Yikes!!  Following that it was a morning walk near Kerr's Campground and home after that.

BACK AT OUR PARK  IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Our newly planted White Clover is doing gang busters with tiny shoots coming up everywhere.  I've been socking the water to it too.  A lot of outdoor multi-task puttering going on too under warm sunny skies.  Damn bugs are out though!!!!

ALL THOSE TINY GREEN OUT OF FOCUS LEAVES ARE CLOVER

I ALWAYS PUT BIRDSEED ON TOP OF A FEW STUMPS FOR THE SQUIRRELS

I was at Goderich's Napa Auto Pro by two and back out of there ten minutes later after they determined the Jeep needed a muffler and tailpipe.  Have to go back again next Tuesday.  While in Goderich figured I'd slip out to the east end of town and pick up another 10 bags of topsoil for my next clover planting project which is mainly the back yard this time.  Grabbed another gallon of Cedar deck paint at the Canadian Tire Store and that was about it for the day...……………..

WILD TRILLIUM FLOWER

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A taxpayer received a strongly worded "second notice" that his taxes were overdue. Hastening to the collector's office, he paid his bill, saying apologetically that he had overlooked the first notice.  "Oh," confided the collector with a smile, "we don't send out first notices. We have found that the second notices are more effective."
