Robins

Yesterday, I saw several robins in the yard. Now i haven't seen robins since July so wonder if these one are on a "late" migration. Does any birder know?

Driving home today I saw this sign:

Don't sweat the petty stuff

And don't pet the sweaty stuff

Repulsively humorous -

I made scalloped potatoes yesterday - 10 pounds of potatoes and 2 pounds of onions.

Acck! They cooked in 2 hours! Usually my big roaster full takes 4 hours. Timing is everything with a meal and my timing went to pieces:)

Does anyone know if cream would speed up the cooking process due to the fat? I slipped 2 cups of half 'n half cream into my liquid mixture. Yum.

After coming home from holidays, I charged my cell.

A couple days later, time to charge. Tore the house apart and could not find the charger. It was very upsetting as I knew it had been used after returning.

I was just ready to drive 30 minutes to my sister's house to use hers, when the light bulb came on.

To solve my perpetual problem of losing the charger, I had plugged it into the power bar with the laptop! There's no hope for me.

Afternoon rest - - -

This elderly gentleman caught my eye while passing on a bus tour.

He was dressed so nicely, 3 piece suit, white haired, cane and hat resting on his knee.

It touched me that he had nodded off in the sunshine - maybe hoping someone would stop to visit.

I would have but we didn't have that luxury being on a tour.

Visualize his coming to this very bench daily - - -

Friday Fats - - -

I just ate 5 Nanaimo bars - FYI - I'm sick but what a way to go.

At 10pm we settled in to bed, cat at his feet - all was well in our world.

I was just nodding off when Buddy flew to the top of the dresser - no mean feat for a 16 pound porker. He was doing an aerial dance and really meaning business.

Putting the ceiling light on, I saw the reason. A moth! I hate moths, especially at 10 pm in the bedroom. Tried to lure it to the hall bath by turning all the lights off except that one. No way.

Wayne, in typical man style, "it's only a moth", covered his head and went to sleep. Buddy and I were left to do battle. thought it was a good hint when Buddy sat staring into the ensuite. After checking everywhere, couldn't find the moth so I left a hall light on, covered my head and went to bed.

No sign of it this morn. Probably it will come out of hiding tonight again.
