Good 35ยบ frost on the roof morning! This is exactly why we don't plant
tender plants (tomatoes) before the 1st of June!
Today is a special birthday... my Granddog Atlas. Happy Birthday 11 year
old!
Last night at dusk a whole herd of elk, 24, showed up in the recent mowed
pasture. There were a couple spikes (young bucks) laying in the grass at the
top of the hill and three calves, and the rest appeared to be cows. It is really
hard to get pictures in this light....
I was also watching the tree swallow in her nest box...
On the porch in the birdhouses we have sparrows, blue birds, and the
swallows. All fun to watch.
I tried out my new coffee maker and it works spectacularly! I brewed 6 cups
of tea in the carafe and later, 1 cup of coffee in the 1 cup brew side. Perfect!
The coffee filter for the 1 cup side is also a scoop for the coffee. Also, it
has a raised cup stand if you use your own coffee cup instead of the insulated
'go away' (travel!) cup.
Nothing to report going on around here. Back acting up so didn't get any
mowing done. Today!
This cat video is hilarious! The Tormented French Cat...

May 18th
Several special days rolled into one....
National Bike To Work Day - Always the third Friday in May
This is a great opportunity to get some exercise, and to save gas.
National No Dirty Dishes Day - Always on May 18th
This day is a reprieve from the daily pile of dishes to wash and dry. Day
after day, we do the daily chore of washing and drying dishes, then put them
away in various cabinets and drawers. We perform this task after each and every
meal, and often after snacks. Even putting them in and out of the dishwasher and
running it, can be a chore.
You deserve a break from this routine. And, today is that day. The objective of this day is to have no dirty dishes. It is not intended to pile them up until tomorrow.
We can think of two ways to avoid dirty dishes today:
1. Use disposable plates, cups and silverware for all meals and snacks.
2. Take the family out to eat all three meals. Then for snack, go out for
ice cream!
We strongly recommend that you do not pile up the dishes to do tomorrow. This defeats the purpose of this very special day.
Visit Your Relatives Day - Always on May 18th
This day encourages us to visit our relatives and loved ones. This day is
intended to give us the opportunity to get closer to our relatives, and to build
(or re-build) family ties and relationships.
It's easy to get out of touch with loved ones. We lead busy lives. A visit with the relative, is sometimes relegated to Christmas and a few other choice major holidays.
If you can not visit your relatives today, we suggest you call them and/or send them a card. Both snail mail and online cards will do.
