Hello Wednesday. I made it through my confusing Tuesday without any mishaps. LOL, Well, except for wondering where my Friday television shows were. I don’t know if I told you that my doctor’s office called me about an hour after I got home and I finally had something to eat and told me they had put in the order for my blood-work. So, I went this morning and got that done. Now I can eat the donut holes I bought yesterday for my breakfast. They are so darn good. They are still fresh this morning. I’m telling you, that Windmill Bakery has it going on!!

Yesterday was a great day in Kate’s kitchen. She made the tuna salad that I have been wanting and she made an apple crumble pie. (Maybe I told you that.) Any way, both were delicious. I had two pieces of pies last evening and I’m trying to mind my manners until at least after lunch time to dive in today. But that pie will not see tomorrow.  Kate is a great cook and through almost 60 years of her cooking I can’t remember more than one or two things she fixed that didn’t turn out right and were not tasty. However, the two very best things she fixes are her pies and her soups. I love her soups, especially her crème soups like mushroom. And of course I love her pies. I think though I like her apple pies the most. At one time my mother used to make a great apple pie but as she got older they changed and she put less and less apples in them We swore sometimes she would only use one apple for the thing. But then, she was 97 when she passed so I reckon that might account for some of it. 

I don’t have a lot on my schedule today. We were supposed to go to the gym but Kate has some kind of infection/bite or something on her foot and can’t wear shoes without irritating it and making it both hurt and itch. I reckon I will get my exercise by doing some more flowerbed work. And, —— I think I will fill my bird feeders today. I have not filled them in maybe six weeks and there is still feed in some of them. They have been feeding on nature’s bounty I reckon. But, I’ll clean out the ones that have food in them and put fresh food all around. It is past time for the hummingbirds and I have three of their feeders to wash up and store until maybe next July. I also need to really look at my feeders because they are all several years old and many are showing the wear and abuse that some of my guests hand out, especially that four-legged bushy-tailed uninvited guests. But the good news is that even the squirrels have been absent. They certainly aren’t gone, they are just over eating someone else’s bird feeders and waiting for the buffet to open. I’ll bet you they will be back on my feeders before the day is over. 

Our neighbor, two houses over had their house burn early this spring and the builders are just now starting on it. The fire only burned the garage and part of the roof but the water from the fire department of course ruined everything else. So, they have gutted the house down to the studs and are building on a new garage and putting on a new roof for the house. It makes for nosy neighbor watching as we all trade opinions about what should be done with something that is none of our business. 

Speaking of neighbors, I met a “neighbor” this week. She and her husband live immediately behind the houses across the road. I met him a long time ago and we exchange pleasantries when we see each other. I have seen her outside hanging three times a week but have never met her or spoken to her. Well, she was over watching the builders last week and I introduced myself to her. Why do I share this??? I have lived here for 25 years and have never spoken to this neighbor who lives in a house 500 yards from me and I can see their house from my kitchen window. I think that maybe I’m not the good neighbor I think I am. I also think that I’m not alone in that fault. I need to do better. 

That’s it for today. Have a blessed day. Peace.
