Monday, Monday ~ Pond Woes

 

Move it or lose it, geese!

We have a problem.  Don't know what it is yet, but definitely not good.

Google Lens thinks it may be some kind of algae, or industrial waste.  Good heavens, there is no industry within twenty miles of here, so probably algae.  Now, how to get rid of it? 

These vultures showed  up a couple of weeks ago. (no algae then)  I see them daily now, and I don't understand the attraction.  There isn't anything dead out there that I have seen, but who knows what lurks out there in the tall grass. 

Can I blame them for this red stuff?  (HA HA) 

Have a great week, y'all! 

Sunday Vibes

 

Me at Three 

Recently I have discovered that if I had only listened to my mother's advice 

on how to stand like a lady, shoulders back and stomach

 in; I might not be in such pitiful agony today, 60 years later. 

This is my third back brace, and it seems to be a little more sturdy than the Wally World brands, but not by much.  The top is supposed to make your posture better...(excuse me while I guffaw).  My posture is beyond hope.  I sit with my shoulders hunched over, and the only difference between pre-purchase and post-purchase is now I know I am sitting with my shoulders hunched and standing with my belly out. 

Enough whining!

Have a great week, y'all! 

Back Porch Views

 

I am so thankful that we live in the country. This morning, I saw 3 young bucks playing in the tall grass just on the other side of my fence.  Very unusual to see them this close, but it was early.  Every few seconds they all would stop, alerting  to every little noise and seemed ready to bolt.  Little Man didn't seem to be worried about how close they were to him, but I imagine he sees them a lot more than we do.

Thankful Thursday

 

If I had to choose a favorite color, I probably couldn't do it.  

I do love purple though, don't you?

Now, throw in some white dots...

almost looks like someone splattered paint on the blooms. 

Today I am thankful for a trip around the moon, better news about baby Tyler, lower A1C score, a new series to watch (The Pitt, but not sure about it yet), that the awful green pine pollen is out of here, my martins have arrived, and last but not least, one tiny hummer showed up last week, at last, at last.  

Easter was full of blessings and lots of family. 

I've been gone a spell, but I am so glad to be back. 

Have a great week!
