Monday morning. The sun is shining again after a couple of days of rain. The lawns are becoming green instead of that awlful brown and I know they are saying a big thank you for the long drink of water. The flowers are a bit ragged making it hard to find enough for our dining room table. Oh well, we can always put a bowl of vegetables or fruit on the table.
Our wild ducks are starting to come back to the pond. Last year, you may remember we had over 60. It’s such a warm fuzzy feeling each year when the first two ducks appear on the pond. They return in small groups and this morning we counted 8. We have started to feed them but their a bit skiddish and they fly off. They”ll get the hang of it eventually though and like last year and the years before, waddle up to the house for their fool. The residents love to sit in the blue room and try to count them. They move so fast it’s almost impossible but they sure try.
Our cookie lady Pat, brought over some homemade pickles this last week. Actually it was a jar of pickled vegetables she pickedfrom our garden. What a treat, cauliflower, peppers, cucumbers, onions and zucchini. They won’t last long and she has already started another batch. We had some for lunch last week and I can actually say, everyone cleaned their plate. That doesn’t happen too often so a big thanks to Pat.
Speaking of good food, Kaydene one of our nightshift people, decided to bake one night – two coconut cream pies, a chocolate and a yellow cake, and two banana breads. That ought to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth for a while. Even mine!
Have a good week folks!
