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.
