FOR TODAY, July 15th, 2025
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ...
This little woodpecker visited yesterday. He stayed for a bit. Couldn't figure out how to avail himself of the liquid inside the hummingbird feeder. He just kept pecking at the bottom. I am sure they must miss Bob's peanut feeder next door. Maybe in the autumn I will get a peanut feeder.
I AM THINKING ...
Doug's camp finishes today. So they will be packing up and coming here after. I think Kayla and the boys are going to be spending the night at my ex's. Doug said he was going to spend the night with me. I am not sure. I may or may not do a post tomorrow morning. It all depends on their plans.
I AM ALSO THINKING ...
What a good son to take the time out of his camp activities to spend time with me, and then yesterday to bring the boys down to spend some time with my father and sister. That meant a lot to my father. To see three of his Great-Grandchildren. He doesn't get to see them very often. Dad was just beaming. I know he couldn't hear a lot of what was being said, but he was beaming. It was a very good thing. It meant a lot to me also.
IN THE KITCHEN ...
A delicious Denver Omelet. With peppers, onions, bacon (or ham), a good cheddar. This makes a lovely breakfast, brunch or supper. Quick and easy to make and oh-so-tasty!
ON MY "TO COOK" LIST ...
Food N Foodie. Authentic Greek Lemon Rice. This looks fabulous! I love rice.
THIS I KNOW TO BE TRUE ...
I have had to hand over many things to God, especially over these past five years. It is the only way I have been able to bring peace into my heart about everything. I was finally able to erase every photograph I had of that man yesterday. I had been erasing them one here, one there. Yesterday I sat down and erased every single one of them. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but it's done now and they will no longer pop up in my memories to plague me. The Peace of God helped me to do it.
SOMETHING THAT IS NICE ...
Golden sunrises. I haven't seen one like this before, but it is magnificent. A gift from God.
Cosy Cat Coasters. So cute!
Penguin Rice Bags. Also cute!
Quilted Bookmarks. Another cute project.
SOMETHING THAT I ENJOY ...
Lemon anything. I love the flavor and smell of lemons.
SOMETHING ELSE THAT I ENJOY ...
Cosy chairs and fresh croissants. Especially the croissants.
OH MY GOODNESS ...
So cute. Peek-a-boo!
SOMETHING TO READ ...
NOW THEN LAD, Tales of a Country Bobby, by Mike Pannett
A true-life Heartbeat for the twenty-first century. Yorkshireman Mike Pannett has just taken up a new posting as a local bobby in rural North Yorkshire. It's quite a change from the Met, where he dealt with riots on the capital's streets and drug gangs in Battersea, and found out what it was like to stare down the wrong end of a sawn-off shotgun.
Now, instead of hunting down knife-wielding muggers, he's chasing runaway bullocks, holding up the Last Night of the Proms traffic to escort a lost mole across the road and combing the countryside for the villains who stole the Colonel's balls.
Mike's first year on his new patch is told in seventeen chapters which interweave his escapades on the beat month by month together with his growing knowledge of a landscape that changes with the seasons and some snapshots from his off-duty life. Here is a wonderfully entertaining celebration of North Yorkshire, its breathtaking scenery and wide variety of characters and communities.
A wonderfully entertaining and light read.
THINGS THAT CATCH MY FANCY ...
Pretty door knobs . . .
Pretty Stationary . . .
Pretty blooms . . .
Shooting stars . . .
A pretty coastline . . .
I AM GRATEFUL FOR ...
The presence of the Lord in my life.
SOMETHING TO WATCH ...
The One That Got Away . . . A Welsh Crime Drama on Acorn. I love Crime Dramas. The British do these so well.
A THOUGHT TO CARRY WITH YOU ...

Im so glad your son and family are such good people:)And yay on delete..like yay on block:)
ReplyDeleteOur downies have a sweet tooth too and enjoy the hummingbird feeder. Lovely to have more time with family, hope it works out for you today with a visit, and nice they visit all of their family here at the same time. That book sounds good, will check to see if I can get it to read. You come across the nicest books. Hot and humid again today, still smokey from the fires too. My heart goes out to those people affected by these terrible fires, and certainly no sympathy for the people in the USA that are complaining the smoke is affecting their summer. They obviously have no thoughts for those affected. Have a lovely day.
