And we will eat in about an hour and a half. More or less, we're also having garlic toast with it. Texas Toast Garlic Toast made by New York company. Anybody else having a TEXAN moment? (New York City!?)
It's rainy. It's cold. It could well freeze tonight in areas to the north of us. I have 3 baby blues coming up in the whiskey barrel, so it's about time for a freeze. :( Although they might be able to handle it, they have come up in December before and then hung on until April or May and then still managed to bloom. The cold weather means that the tulips will be planted soon. We're going to get out and work on the bed again Sunday, turn the dirt and treat it again. Then about a week later, more or less, the bulbs will be planted. Then, it will be ignored again and left on it's own. Until Spring!
Froggy, I don't usually feed the birds in the spring and summer and not always early Fall. If I can see bugs, the birds can too. Except for hummers, they get fed early spring until their migration in the Fall. Which I think has already happened, I'll probably take my feeders down next week. Then they'll get washed and put away for the winter.
Found out a new way to freak out the Otter today! I ran several errands at lunch and I had to drive by her store. I left her a package of peanut butter cookies in the car she drove, on the cup holder between the front seats. With a note from me. I get this slightly panicked phone call from her because she has gotten to the car (but not in it yet, smart girl) and she sees that there is something in the car that wasn't there when she got out of it when she got to work! Geesh. I had to explain to her that I knew about it already, eventually she figured it out but it took her a couple of minutes to re-adjust her thinking. :) She was not amused that I thought her unexpected reaction was funny, but she was thankful for the cookies. Guess it's my fault that she's a tad bit on the paranoid side, but I have valid reasons for being that way myself and by association, so does she. (My reasons are by necessity kept private but just accept that I have reasons and they are very good ones). I guess she forgave me, because she called me from Wally to see if I needed her to pick anything up for me so I wouldn't have to stop on the way home myself. But it was funny! However, I'm also glad that she was aware of her surroundings and that she realized something was different - even though that was not my intention.
Tomorrow won't really be "cold" but it will be cool. The morning might be cold. I've got blankets ready to grab, I love to camp out on the couch on cold mornings with a blanket (and coffee!), and it's pretty much 100% guaranteed that I'll also have a foot warmer in the shape of a beagle. And maybe even a chupacabra for company! Dogs got their priorities straight, that's for sure.
