So far, I have finished the corn salad and I am now cutting the watermelon. The table is set - I am using the decrepit looking lanterns that I got for Halloween and mason jars of daisy's as the centerpieces.
The menu is fried chicken, biscuits, corn salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, macaroni and cheese (made by Jim) - sort of a summer picnic for the last weekend in August. Oh, and I made brownies and Jim has made home-made chocolate ice cream. The sweet tea for us purists and the unsweet tea is already made. It will be delicious!!!!!!!
It has been Hummingbird heaven here - there looks like 2 pairs that have nested close by because I see 4 or 5 floating around and guarding the hummingbird feeder.
I have hung out a sock of thistle seed, hoping for gold finches, but I haven't seen any yet.
It has been so dry here! Tomorrow we are supposed to get some rain which will be great for the grass and the flowers.
I went out to put mail in the mailbox and it fell off on my foot. That was a surprise!
The mailbox was held onto the post with a miserable rotted piece of wood. You know, I don't have a saw. I may have to ask Santa for one. Anyway, Lori's father-in-law came through and cut a piece of wood and primed it and cut the holes in it. Jim is going to put it all back together. Which will make me and our mail lady, very happy. And, tada!!!!!!! Jim fixed it!
There is one corner in my room where I had some boxes and unhung pictures and I decided I needed some type of industrial shelving:
You may not believe it, but it looks so much better!!!!!
I just took the dogs out, and guess what......another baby bunny nest! This time, on the other side of the yard. So I took the fence down that was around the butterfly bush (again) and put it up around the bunnies - just so the dogs don't bother them. I guess I have a little wild kingdom out there.
Enjoy the last weekend in August!
Love, Leslie
