Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? Watcha been doing?

Our project last week: putting together a cat feeder.  OMG. The HH has a bad back and my fingers are stiff and shaky:) AND there were lots of screws and poor directions.

 

 

Got it almost put together and realized we'd put one of the interior sides on backwards and had to take it off and put it back on. Grrrr.

Finally. Frank got the window and Callie, one floor down,bars to keep the dog out.  Frank took to the change in routine immediately.  Callie, not so much. I think she's afraid of permanent incarceration. But we're getting there.

Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? How's your weather? And speaking of:

On the phone weather app, why does the day's forecast never equal the hourly breakdown?

i.e. Yesterday's daily forecast showed 65% chance of rain.  The hourly showed: 40% at 8PM, 30% at 10PM and 15 % at midnight.

Does anyone else ever wonder about that?

Here's AI's response:

“The daily forecast is basically a ‘chance of any rain happening at all,’ while the hourly forecast is the ‘chance of rain right now.’ They’re calculated differently, which is why the numbers never quite line up — and why midnight sneaks in under today even though it’s technically tomorrow.” 

AND

Some odds and ends

 

We're getting growth in the indoor garden.  It's fun to watch the seeds sprout. 

 

Dangles in the garden:)

 

 

The crepe myrtle;)
 

 

 For some reason, the HH found this flag appropriate for our household. Heh.

That's it from here, Blogger Buds.  Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what's going on in your neck of the woods. 

 

Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? Keeping cool? It's averaging over a hundred degrees daily here. The poor plants and outdoor critters are panting. I keep a a bowl of water on the steps for any critter meandering by. 

Are you getting rain? Even when it's forecast here, it usually goes east or west of us. I guess I'm going to have to step up my rain dance;)

 AND

Since my interests are rather limited (heh), here's some more Eternal Garden pics:

I wanted a shot that included the crepe myrtle behind us. It's gorgeous.

 

 

Hark! What's that I hear? The pitter patter of rain drops and thunder boomers. Others must have been doing the rain dance too. 

Have a grand one, Blogger Buds. 

 

  

 

 

Ketch-up Day

 

It's

 

So kick back and relax.

Meanwhile in the garden 

This is the first grapes, and pretty much the only grapes, from the vine the HH got me last year and I let them sit too long before harvesting. Maybe both the grapevine and I will do better next year:)

 Crepe myrtles are blooming all over town.

 

The birds do like to nest in our rose bushes.

I saw this little guy sitting on the birds' water bath the other night.  You can't tell from the picture but he's teensy, tiny. About an inch long.

Have a great week and stay cool.  And if your weather is already cool, woot woot. We're under the heat dome here. 

 

 

 

 

Ketch-Up Day

 

What's going on? I've been working on projects and trying to finish my first draft of Reuben Hays. My projects include the eternal staining of the back fence. I've been working on it four years now. I figure next year or the following I'll have it finished. Of course, by then it'll be time to start staining it again. 😆 My little carousel horse was my other project. He lost his ceramic tail years ago. I finally made him a new one.  Let me just say that the super glue on my fingers after I finished really confused my computer when I tried to sign in. 😁 

AND

The trees got a hair cut.

After

And while I hated having all those glorious blooms cut, it sure makes mowing easier.
