Hello,
Our stimulus checks, with direct
deposit, came, just when I was thinking it was not going to happen. Now the
question is how to spend them and what makes the most positive impact for the
most vulnerable economic people in this area.
Leroy, with consultation, ordered a
new teapot. We are certainly looking forward to its arrival. It certainly is
not two day shipping as it has been a week now. The teapot we are using
requires a towel under it to catch drips. It is also imperative not to fill it
beyond a certain place or it is even more likely to spew out copious amounts of
tea in the first cup that is poured. We do not use the cozy on it because it
very quickly became a tea stained, saturated item. That means the tea is cold
much sooner than the time it takes us to finish the tea in the pot. Can you
tell I am not a fan of this pot? I know it is a small thing in the whole of
life, but…
This morning Leroy washed three more
window screens, while I washed three more windows. Making the total finished
six clean and sparkling windows. We do not want to get too carried away and sap
our enthusiasm by doing ten at once.
While we had a window open this
morning a bumble bee flew in and went to the bathroom window, flapping wildly
to get out. Unfortunately that was one of the windows that already had a
screen. Leroy kept an eye on this visitor while I fetched a small jar and a slightly
stiff paper to slip under it. I gingerly advanced on this critter, held the jar
out at arm’s length, captured it on the sill, and slide the paper under while
it frantically tried to escape. Leroy opened doors for me as I held tight to
the jar and paper. I could feel it beating against the sides of the jar or
paper. Outside I held the jar as far away from me as I could, placed it on the
surface, and took the paper away. The poor creature tried to go out the wrong
end for a little bit before it zoomed out the open end and away. So happy! I did
not want that bee to sting me.
