Sunday, April 26, 2009

I retreated to the computer room. It’s the only room in the house that’s air-conditioned. I removed the other air-conditioners in the fall. It was 93 degrees today and will be about 87 tomorrow.

I had lunch with my friends from church today. I got Salmon Florentine. They served 4 pieces and I brought two home. I also had a salad, sweet potatoes and lima beans. The ladies kept asking me what I was going to do for my birthday. I live here by myself. I thought it an odd question. I may go to the custard stand around 7pm and get a strawberry Artic Swirl. (For those familiar with the Dairy Queen, it is a Blizzard – vanilla custard with strawberry topping swirled through it).

The sun porch has heated up and I am waiting for the sun to go down to return to that room. When the sun goes down, I’ll open up the windows to let the air in. I hope it cools down by then. Don will be down next weekend to help me put the air-conditioners in the windows. He had problems with his mower and worked on it all day yesterday. He found it needed a part and will take two weeks to receive it. He decided to get a new one and then cut the grass today. He thought he’d be done in time to come down this evening but the grass was long and thick and the ground was soft from all the rain last week. It took him longer than he thought and he still wasn’t finished.

The heat has pushed open the dogwoods and azaleas as well as the leaves on the trees. My new little tree is getting its leaves now. I will take a photo as soon as my new camera arrives.

I took Danny on his long walk early this morning while the temp was in the 70’s. In the afternoon, we took short little walks and I’ll just take him out back before he goes to bed.

Hi Karol. Here in my "camping grove" I am happy to see a Dogwood right behind us out our back window.

Thank you so much for the bird book. Last week I kept a list one morning. I male and female white breasted nuthatchs, marsh wrens, female red-bellied woodpecker, LOTS of Blue Jays, tufted titmouse, both male and female Cardinals and male downy woodpeckers. Not a bad morning count!
