Been hearing a lot of bad things about Blogger lately hope it doesn't begin to give us issues we have enough going on in the world right now to keep us irritated without adding Blog Anxiety to the mix. I can't barely go near Facebook right now...It's so toxic Id have to unfriend all 29 on my list to not see a political meme, including ME! It's so hard when you want peace and balance to see our system being abused and misused in the way it currently is, it makes me crazy. I have a feeling this year is going to get much worse before it's all said and done.
Notice second set of numbers.. 75F with humidity @ 95% and it was not raining when I snapped this shot...with all the tropical unrest going on, the unbearable gulf of Mexico air is being pumped up here by the truckloads as these fronts all 3 of them come in at once..ugh..you literally sweat just standing in one spot.My left foot still has a redness and some bruising this happened when I was sick with the virus...and it has not completely gone away...it hurts at night more so than when I'm up walking on it..it's not in the joint of the toe its on the side of and the tip of the toe, and the bruise that keeps recurring is on the top of my instep it's so strange...it makes me think the 'Return of the Jedi'? No please...

This tomato is one of the heirlooms I grew OMG it tastes like Sunlight so delicious I made myself a tomato sandwich for lunch...And have enough for another one for tomorrow's lunch! Simple things to look forward to..

...one House Finch in my yard flock has the conjunctivitis...I won't say whether I caught her or not I will leave that for you figure out for yourself, because I saw some people go bat shitz crazy when a lady helped a robin survive...and posted on a Facebook Bird Group page.
But in the meanwhile I cleaned all my feeders and watering areas with a bleach solution...
In other News Jimmy was taken to Denver on Wednesday, his Surgery was Thursday, my last report was he was very out of it due to the anesthesia, but the vet said he did really well during the surgery, and tomorrow he goes back for a check before the 3+ hr drive to home. He has to stay quiet for 5 days and follow up with a local vet...so it's the first big step to a lengthy process to a better life. I will put an update in the comments section on Friday after I get word on what the Surgical Vet had to say. The will measure his ocular pressure etc. They shaved his face! And he has to wear this cone for quite some time so he won't try to scratch his face...Hopefully his next photo he will be his old happy self. đź’“đź’“And:
PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI hope all your fruit trees do well, it will be great to go out and pick your own fresh fruits. I wish I had the Brown-headed Nuthatches here, they are so cute. We may see the Red-breasted Nuthatch every couple of years. I hope your foot feels better. The hot and humid weather makes me want to stay inside. I have to keep clicking on the I am not a robot button again. What is with blogger? Take care! Enjoy your day, have a great weekend!
Hi Eileen...I really don't see any reason's for the new development to Blogger, it's fine the way it is...I think once they get in there and start playing with the HTML of the program it develops bugs! It is very hot and humid and we expect winds in excess of 20 mph tomorrow due to Laura.
DeleteI sure hope the deer leave the trees alone so they can take off and grow some great fruits for you. The little birds trying to break open the sunflower seeds are just to cute. But OH that tomatoes sandwich is making me drool. Poor Jim looks exhausted and I do wish the best results for him. Hope you foot heals up soon. Try and stay cool with the humidity so high.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo the humidity this year has been horrible. Our temperatures never got that high but the humidity is unbearable, it's like standing over a pot of boiling water. If the trees are destroyed this time I give up!! Im gonna do my best to defend them!
DeleteGood luck with the fruit trees, with all those deer maybe you'll have to construct a barrier to protect them.
ReplyDeleteGood news about Jimmy, they get used to those cones and I think i causes the owner more problems than it does the dog.
Your tomatoes do look good and those beef tomatoes when they are ripe are delicious. I would have tomato sandwiches too.
HI Dave, so far Jimmy is doing good the drops on the eyes is a challenge but it's getting done. There has been one thing tho he has to go back to Denver for his check ups..thats 3 hrs one way...so it's going to be a lot of work on the humans. I hope since I planted them in the yard this time I will be able to better defend the trees against critter attacks..
DeleteIm enjoying a second tomato now and it is just as delicious!
Have a great week.
Facebook is a bit of a nightmare at times isn't it! Good luck with the fruit trees, hopefully they'll do better in the yard. I would love to see a Hummingbird, I can't imagine the joy of having them visit your garden!
ReplyDeleteI hope Jimmy is doing well :)
Hi Pam...I check Facebook when Im really bored...and it's entertaining for about 10 mins lol...then it gets ugly. I am pretty good at throwing the first punch myself. I have 4 hummers at my feeder currently so 2 are this years nestlings I presume. It is a real treat to watch them. So far so good Jimmy has a recheck tomorrow.
DeleteOur next door neighbor when we lived on the Lake had a motion detector light and sprinkler system to keep the deer out of his fruit trees.., it seemed to work for him, but I don’t know how much trauma it caused the deer, we had raised flower and herb beds there and the deer would walk on them, every morning their footprints would be in the soil. I only wish I’d had a trail cam. I would rather have seen the deer jumping up into those beds than have fresh rosemary))). I hope Jimmys recovery keeps going well.
ReplyDeleteHI Sallie, thank you! Tomorrow Jimmy goes for his first recheck he is being more tolerant of the eye drops so that helps with his recovery. I think a sprinkler system and movement light is out of budget So Im going with some caution tape as a scare crow they already ate some leaves off the Apples! Deer can jump and climb amazingly...lol those photos would of been good tho..
