Hi everyone - Sounds like this was a difficult day for a lot of you. Hugs and prayers from me.

This was grocery day for me. It is always a long day. Didn't get to nap until almost 4pm and I no sooner laid down than my DH got up and was ready for evening coffee. Oh well...poor me - lol !

It rained here this morning. I didn't need to water the new transplants. It is clouding up here now, so I think we are in for some more rain.

Juanita - I was a nurse too. I worked a surgical unit in a metro hospital. Where did you work ?

Jaye - You are from Singapore ! How interesting ! Tell me more.

Oh - When I was putting the groceries away, I spotted a red tailed hawk sitting on the fence in the back yard. My neighbor has a birdfeeder there, and I think the hawk was waiting for lunch. I know all creatures have to eat, but I don't want to watch. Anyway, the hawk was beautiful.

Funny - I moved from the country, but since we have been in this duplex in town, I have seen five deer, chipmunks, the hawk, rabbits, and there is a resident groundhog ! I was going to save the strawberry tops for the chippie, but after seeing the hawk I changed my mind.

I can't believe it is 7:15pm already. Time to mindlessly watch tv for awhile. I do hope all of you have better days ahead. As I said, prayers and hugs...

Here is a picture of the hawk waiting for lunch to fly in. This is the back of the yard for the duplex. I didn't plant anything back here. My neighbor put those plants in - I think Barb said they are black eyed susans. My garden is beside the back door. Our duplex location is kinda odd. To the back, there is a store your stuff place. To one side there are more duplexes like this one. On the other side, there is a screen printing shop and a mold and dye shop In front, we are in a regular residential neighborhood !

Quick story about renting here. My DH brought home a phone number that was on the sign in front of this duplex. I looked at it and it seemed so familiar. I called and to my amazement it belongs to the mold and dye plant where my ex-husband used to work when we were married. So, his old boss is now my landlord. Small world. Ya gotta behave - lol !

Hawk -
