Something Different

Taken of a corn field in a moving car about sundown. I guess the sun was reflecting from the mirror on the door?

Cheerios And Cholesterol

Do you remember when there was no such word as cholesterol? Well, I had never heard of it until my Dad had his first heart by-pass surgery. I think they once called it "hardening of the arteries". I remember at the time they were saying there were some drugs that were coming on the market to help fight cholesterol. But there were none available for my Dad. So in about six years after his first heart surgery, he was scheduled to do it again. My doctor now has me on the pill "Lipitor" which keeps my bad cholesterol under control. But I also eat Cheerios just about every morning. Most of the time, I eat it plain with 2 per cent milk. This summer I have been making it better. Today I had it with white peaches and seedless green grapes. At times I have just fresh blue berries on it. Some mornings just fresh strawberries sliced on it. Other times, just sliced bananas. But the prettiest bowlful had blueberries, bananas, and strawberries! My friend does not know how I can continue to eat Cheerios every morning. I told her I have acquired a taste for them and they are good to me. About the only morning I cheat is on Sunday morning. I allow myself two pieces of bacon, two pieces of toast with grape jelly, and a cup of coffee. What do you eat for breakfast?

Moth in the Vine

Yesterday, Molly, told us about Joyce's butterflies on her blog http://jdebreuilsartandquilts.blogspot.com/. They were wonderful! Never saw so many buttlerflys on one flower. Today I found a moth on my Hyacinth Bean Vine. I almost didn't see him/her, except for the lighter colors. I lifted it off with a stick and it flew off into the sun.

Then I thought why not take a full length of the vine so you can see how well it's doing in this heat. Of course, I'm watering it every day since we have had no rain for a spell.

Too Hot

It is so hot here today. One Hundred Degrees plus all that humidity. I must go to the store and get some Pet Chocolate Ice Cream and some cones. It is too hot for anything else.

So many things need repairing around here. Wouldn't you think I could paint this little spot on this birdhouse? Maybe tomorrow.
