Just Another Monday?

 Just Another Monday?

 

The postal service calls this Presidents’ Day. Hmm. My dogs think every day is dogs’ day. The hens have their own opinion about each day, but they hardly ever discuss it with me. They just squawk about needing more handouts whenever they see the old woman outside. Every day is a special day at my age. So many do not get to enjoy life beyond retirement age.

 

Vacuumed and mopped the living room and kitchen this morning. Even dusted the furniture! Amazing! The kitchen table has not been given a good coat of furniture polish in a few years! And guess what: it still did not get the polish, just cleaned a bit from the dust that accumulates. Oh well. Moved the bench along the kitchen wall to the living room, so now Thompson can stand on it to bark at the strangers who are running around over on North Church Street—a lady with some kids. Hmm. Cleaned a bit out from under the washing machine without pulling it out entirely. That sucker is heavy! Scrubbed the piece of carpet that the dogs got dirty in the kitchen, and then fed the dogs OUTSIDE for a change. Of course, Thompson had to bark at the closest hens.

 

Still do not have sunshine. It is nearly 70 degrees outside, but the sun is hiding behind the clouds. Maybe we will get some rain eventually, but for the time being, at least it is not freezing. Feel sorry for the folks up north. They are in for it again. The map showed some cold stuff from Washington state to Maine!

 

The chicks are a month old today. They are so funny looking with their poofy feathers along their necks and those long, long legs. They remind me just a bit of baby killdeers. Of course, those little birds can run from the time they are hatched. These can fly already! They will just have to stay in the coop area until they are much older. Poor old Jolene really would like to go have some grass. Maybe some can be picked and dropped inside the coop.

 

Well, the young man from Hamilton Repair came and told me that he adjusted all of the things he could, but the beeper in the back of the control panel is about $300, so each time the machine is used, it will just be unplugged when the load is finished. As long as it is not throwing water all over heck and half of Georgia, this machine is just going to have to get things clean and hang the sound effects. To cap things off, young Kevin called back and asked if he left his billfold on the floor around my machine. Hope he finds it.

 

Cooked up some hamburger meat this afternoon and had cheese, tomato, and hamburger in a spinach tortilla wrap. Pretty good stuff. Especially the tomato!

 

Washed the cover on one of the dogs’ beds from in the living room. Now the floors in the two rooms are clean, the dog bed is clean, and maybe it will stay that way until it rains again in a couple of days. Just hope it is enough rain to do us some good. Still need to fill up those lakes and stock ponds.

 

The wobbly hen has been joined by another hen who seems to have been hit by the same dogsleds! They have found a nice straw covered bed out by the coop where Jolene and chicks are. The rest of the hens are not bothering them, so there’s that. Threw some green grass over the fence to them and the silly dogs wanted to eat it. Guess they need a salad, too.

 

Guess just about everyone has heard about the revival happening on the East Coast at a university church. Hope these details are correct. Anyway, it has not stopped since it began. That makes me smile and want to see and hear more about it. God is simply wonderful in what He can do with and for His people. We can ask for His mercy and protection on all those who reach out to Him.

 

Let us appreciate each day, dear friends. Rest well, for you know you are loved.
