Hi Friends!
The smoke is worse today. My asthma is liking it big time 🫤 I was so hoping that it was gonna be better today. Another weekends not able to work on the yards 😵💫 Always either rain and/or smoke 😬 Just last week when I checked wildfires app, it was just around 150ish, however last night, already at 322 recorded ones, and close to 60% of them are out of control. Crazy.
So my husband and I got 4 birdhouse and we nailed them to the 4 trees we chopped off a month ago. Now I feel like it was a bad decision. My fur babies go nuts chasing birds 😬 They caught 2 small house Sparrows so far. Imma have to put up barriers of some sorts among those trees 😬 Not just for the birds sake but also for my flowering clematis that I planted under one of the trees 😬 As of this morning, 3 flowers fell off of the plants. Most likely since when birds around, the chasing game would end up with my fur babies bumping the flimsy trellis 😅😬😅😬
Moving on….Let’s see. Weeather update is done, garden update is done, now let’s get recipe sharing going, shall we 😁
I cut off my rhubarb stalk yesterday and made muffins. Yep! I could use the oven yesterday 😁
