Mindless Chatter - Weekend

glenmar

This is becomig a bit of a cycle.  First I feed the birds and the squirrels camp out under the feeder to steal what falls.  So, I get critter food for the squirrels nd the deer come to snag that.  Now I buy 50 lbs of whole corn every week for the deer...erm, the SQUIRRELS, that's it, it's for the squirrels Mr. Game Warden.  I can't help if the deer eat the food I put out all over the yard for the squirrels......

Even prior to putting the corn out though, the deer didn't bother a single thing.  The birds peck holes in my ripe tomatoes, but the deer I guess are thanking me for the "squirrel food" by leaving everything else along.

Oh my, reading that made me laugh out loud. Bless you for caring for all the critters in the world

~sigh~ It's going to be a long football season.

edit uh oh Annie how bad are the Browns?

is anyone else addicted to House Hunters?

Karen, I'll just say that the highlight of the game was Josh My Hero Cribbs' run back for a TD.  I love that man.  He's great on the field & is a solid person off the field as well.

BTW, congrats on your win.

Re the salsa - the recipes I found all said it would keep for up to 3 days. Is that really all the time that you can keep it? I wanted to make a largish size batch but wouldn't be able to use it in 3 days.

I've kept the pico de gallo type  salsa for at least a week if not longer and it's perfectly fine.  The things that go into it (tomatoes, onions, cilantro, chiles etc.) all keep in the fridge for quite awhile so there's no reason why they shouldn't last mixed together.  I just took something out to the trash can on the curb  and I'm starting to actually believe that tomorrow's prediction of a rainstorm might me true.  It's windy and dark and the sky is just full of ominous looking clouds.  Fingers crossed!!

Yes and most every other show on HGTV. Bang for Your Buck is my new favorite.

DH has been in a foul mood all weekend.  Yesterday, I took the "be nice" approach.  Today, I took the "throw a bottle of midol at him & tell him to get over it" approach.  When his mood didn't improve much, I decided to take Bev & go check on the new house.  We got there between thunderstorms, & took out a 4 wheeler to go see how high the creek on the property had gotten.  It was a little harder to drive one handed than I had expected, so I didn't notice that Bev had taken off after something..

When I stopped at the creek, I realized that he wasn't with me.  I killed the 4 wheeler & yelled for him.  I'll just say that I could smell him coming, before I saw him coming.  When he came out of the brush, he was carrying a skunk.   I somewhat bathed him in the barn, & then we drove home with the windows down.  When we got home, I mixed up some peroxide, baking soda, & dawn, then I handed off to DH because I was going to meet the potential foster.  I don't think that having to bathe my skunked dog helped to improve DH's mood, but such is life.

If the lab survives, I am going to foster her.  Right now, she's hooked up to IV fluids because she won't eat.  Hopefully, she'll start eating soon, & I can get her home.  I thought that Brutus was in terrible shape when I picked him up, but after seeing this girl, I realized that Bru was in great shape.  She looks terrible.  As soon as I saw her, I started bawling. 

 HGTV has me spending money I don't even have...but I keep watching anyway!
