How My Day Evolved!

My day started with taking my computer to be fixed.
When I got home I decided to look for an item in the cedar chest. I have knick-knack items all over the top. There was a dresser doily, dresser runner, the chest top was covered with a towel (long story) and there was another small doily. After removing all the stuff, dug around inside, found the item, I decided I would wash the doilies, runner and towel.
First phase is finished. Second phase is beginning.
I decided to us Spray and Wash for a couple of spots on my shirt. I keep forgetting to put on my apron when I cook. The other shirt used my old stand by Fels Naptha Soap! Phase two complete.
Started phase 3. Decided to pick up all the birdseed all over the floor. Because the seed got ruined previously in the galvanized can, somehow water came in from the bottom, I decided to store the expensive seed in the garage.  The mice came in and thought they were in heaven. So much food. Not only did they have seed, they had green leaves from my plants I had. I brought them in to keep through the winter. The mice loved the variety of food. Got out the shop vac and after a sweep up by hand of a large amount, started in vacuuming.
Oops, phase 3 on hold. Had to go pick up my fixed computer.
Phase two- before I left to get computer, put clothes in the dryer.
Home and ate some lunch.
Back to Phase two- folded or hung up clothes except the two shirts I used Spray & Wash on. Didn't touch the grease. Will have to rewash. Ironed the doilies and dresser runner.
Then back to phase 3. Started in vacuuming up again to get all the rest of the seed. More then I thought!  It was everywhere. Was also on the bottoms of my shoes so vacuumed the floor of my car.  Started to put the shop vac away. Saw some shredded paper. I found where the critters have been nesting.  Vacuumed all that up and called hubby and asked him what was in the black plastic sack. He checked. Said it was paper, so off to the trash it went. Finished vacuuming all that area. Put my gardening stuff back in my vehicle and put it back in the garage area. Phase 3 now complete, almost. Got the broom and swept up a few stray birdseed areas. Now Phase 3 complete.
Phase 4 Fed the dogs early as I was not going to go upstairs and have to come back down in just a short time to feed them.
I am now sneezing from breathing in all of that dust! UGH!
It's all Claire's son-in-law's fault.

On Losing A Family Member By Mary J Williams © She may have 4 paws And a tail that wiggles My friendly dog That made me giggle She loved to chase squirrels Until they were out of sight Just showing them Catching them she might I lost this dear friend On February 18, 2024 My little Rosebud Knocked at Heavens door I am going to miss her She was with us for twelve years Every time I think of her My eyes fill up with tears Her other companion Of the four-legged kind Lacy, her buddy Still has her in her mind She won’t come in the room She spent most of her days Her buddy isn’t with her So, she just stays away It’s not been very long About three days is all I’m sure it will be better The good times we will recall So, Rosebud, we loved you With all of our hearts Just remember Rosebud We actually will never part Will think of you often And when it’s my time to go I will meet up with you again  The Good Lord will make it so                              We used my dad's birthday as a

I'm Worn Out!

It’s Nice Outside By Mary J Williams © I thought about the birds Stepped outside the door The sun was shining brightly Which I just adore! I knew I had washing So went down the stairs Transferred wash to the dryer I know you don’t care! I looked at the floor I need to sweep just a bit Went to get the broom My brain did a flip Feed the birds first Seeing as they have none They need some food Get that chore done The can that holds All the sunflower seed The bungee cord is broken A squirrel probably did the deed The cord held the lid down This has happened before Racoons and squirrels chew it Not going to get the lid off no more I finally found one in the basement That would fit like the old one Now that the birds are fed I found another thing to get done Blew the leaves out of the garage Out from the corner of the door Blew them across the driveway Where I will let them store Pick them up in spring After the birds dig through them Finding all the bugs, worms, and insects Among the rottin

Winter-Yard Gardens Birds Critters and ME

Winter-the Yard, Birds and Critters and Me by Mary J Williams It's sort of winter but the weather is mild You can be outside Which makes me smile Weeds were pulled and I planted a seed one was a tree If it grows, it will surprise me I have had fun watching the birds an argument between bluebirds and the Robins I've heard Chickadees flying in and the Titmouse too I grab the camera Then off they flew I have a flowerbox sits on the rail It's on the two by six so falling will fail It also can sit on a two by four but mine just has the space The birds walk through the tunnel and disappear without a trace One time, while filling the feeders One of the tunnels had a bird A sparrow was in there  He ran so fast, he was blurred I love watching them  they think the tunnels fun Maybe they get cool If there's a lot of sun. I have to wash the deck  to try and keep it clean with bird seed and poop Dog pee I mean When it's cold outside Or very early morn The dogs do their business
