I'm hoping today is easier and less stressful than yesterday, though I'm sure my mom will have to ask me several times this week about the money that got transferred from her retirement savings to her checking. I think I've learned my lesson after last time, though. Do not transfer any of that money now in her BofA checking to her BofA savings. That really threw her for a loop last time. I didn't want to leave $15k in her checking so transferred $10k to savings. I don't know how many times I had to explain that. If she brings up wanting to move some to hold in savings, then I'll do it. Otherwise just going to leave in checking.
I have this cute bird bath dd gave me a few years ago. I think I figured out the secret to getting birds to use it. At our old house I had a bird bath (left it there for some reason) and the birds never seemed to use it either. The birdbath is on our back patio next to the stone pier. A couple of weeks ago dh moved it to the other side and the gutter spout up above pours right into it and it filled it completely up to the edge when he had a big rain one day. I had just been putting about 2/3 full with water. Birds came. So now I keep it filled to the edge and they use it all the time. It was enjoyable to watch them for a few minutes this morning, while drinking my coffee.
I managed to get enough green beans picked to have with one meal. Mind you, I have always hated green beans. I made these with bacon and onion and they were delicious. Not such a strong green bean flavor like the canned ones have. DH still seems to prefer canned. Though I can see several of the plants would be needed to have enough to pick to serve with some meals.
I think I'm going to take a quick little work break and water my flowers this morning. I did it last evening, but with this heat I'm sure an extra dose will be needed.
My uncle just texted that his skin cancer biopsy came back and they got it all and he was also Covid tested and negative for that, so all is good with him.
Well, that's about all I know for today.
It ix always fun to watch birds taking a bath wherever they find water. They also don't like a bath where cats can get them, just where i put a birdbath once.
ReplyDeletewell, that very well could be why at our old house. We had a cat for years and he was a hunter, when he wanted to be.
Deletewow, these scammers really do focus on the elderly it seems like. So frustrating. I am glad you caught that one and had a better day.
ReplyDeletethey sure do. I think they also mail a lot of stuff to her address, because they know it's a senior living apartment.
DeleteIt's incredibly hot here as well. My vegetable garden is suffering an my flowers, well, they gave up the ghost weeks ago.. I had to laugh when you were talking about hubby complaining. I think that's something that all wives say and all husbands do. It seems to be universal! LOL
ReplyDeleteWell, good to know I'm not alone, I guess, LOL. My flowers look great right now, but the heat this next week or so is probably going to start showing.
