Today at Iten's Acres: June 8, 2012

Today at Iten's Acres:
Dave the lawnmower doctor showed up at 8 AM and got the beast going. Who said doctors don't make house call anymore! Fed the swallows breakfast today. They were grateful if number of "customers" is any indication. Dennis must have a barn full of nests! Yes, I'm jealous.
Saw Bonnie. Hadn't seen her for awhile. I like the other two bandits, but Bonnie is the best. Gorgeous, smart, independent yet affectionate.
Need rain!!! Guess I'll have to go back to the rain dance. Can't break the mower again this soon. Had to do a lot of water carrying today. I'm getting too old for manual labor and Arthur doesn't help. Rain please!
Calla lilies, astilbe, and wild roses are the new bloomers. Love them all. Oh, and there are blooms on the elderberry. If only the birds would let me have some of them. They are arguing already on who gets them. I wonder if they drop them in the bird bath--you know a little robin-made elderberry wine. I'll have to see how straight they fly once the berries start disappearing. And I have to fill up the deepest bird bath every day. I guess since it's deeper, they think it actually is a bath and not a place for a drink on a hot day. Like little kids they love to splash!
Wouldn't it be great if lightning bugs were like those bug lamps you can put up--every flash a fried mosquito? Just letting my feeble mind ricochet from inane thought to inane thought. I'm quite good at it.
