Better than television !!

I had a cotton tail rabbit at the same time (on the patio) but couldn't get an unobstructed picture. This is a clip art photo.

Record breaking heat !!

Will we ever experience relief from the heat? Will I eventually find the energy to complete the innumerable projects that surround me (in the apartment)?? ~~ I did two loads of laundry (at the RV Park) early this morning--and did necessary tasks around the T@B. ~~~ According to the weather forecasters, a high of 100 degrees (in the Charlotte area) will break the record (for this day) set in 1888. My thermometer--in the shade, on the patio--tells an even hotter story!!

Laughter is the best medicine !!

Here are a few of the many pictures I received from a friend. I believe she found them while surfing the 'net. She knew laughter would be **my** best medicine!! Thanks, Debbie!!

Peanuts, please !!

Why are there no Cardinals at my bird feeders ??

I see numerous Cardinals on the branches of the nearby trees but they haven't approached my bird feeders yet. (But a Hummingbird on the feeder as I type this!!) I will do some research (at Google & Ask.com) to find an answer. Meanwhile, here is a cute story about a Cardinal.

Soliciting your prayers !!

Watching the squirrels--and the birds--did not cure my malaise (spelled d-e-p-r-e-s-s-i-o-n). I went shopping today--to Earth Fare--for a non-prescription remedy for depression. ~~ Spending so much time cooped-up in air-conditioned buildings has taken a toll on me (I hate A/C). ~~ FYI: I bolted the squirrel feeder to the little wrought-iron chair and created the little white "ladder" to encourage climbing to the feeder. At night, I move the little squirrel feeder chair indoors because I now want to discourage the raccoons that arrived in the middle of the night to feed on the "critter food." ~~ I request your prayers because I despise being a lazy old lady languishing in the easy chair!! (Perhaps "malaise" is the wrong description?! Let's just say depression.)
