Peppers anyone?

That's not even everything that I've picked. I gave my nephew and two neighbors a bunch. There's still more on the plants.


2 turkeys and 2 babies )

In the bad news department, the pipe under the bathroom sink is broken. *sigh* I'll be calling a plumber on Monday

Five years ago today Representative John Lewis -- an icon of civil rights -- died, but his message lives on and we declare it today all across America with this Good Trouble Lives On National Day of Action. As Representative John Lewis said: "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America".

June postal mail from fen brought me a beautiful card from [personal profile] elayna. It's colored by hand and she indicated that it was done in pencil -- must be some very special kind of pencil -- there's a depth of color and a shine to it that doesn't look like other pencil-work I've seen. And she pointed out that with one of the images being a compass and one of the images being a wolf or wolf-dog it made her think of due South. Also, she put a wolf sticker on it and used a maple-leaf postage stamp. I <3 everything about this card very much!

1) I finally cut the cord and got rid of cable. Kept the internet and the phone. Verizon had some streaming bundles: Netflix/HBO Max and Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ for $10/month. I went with the Netflix bundle. I was also able to add my Trac phone to my account as Verizon bought them for a $15/month discount. My bill's going down about $100. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

2) I've already binged The Pitt. Loved it! I'm working on Sense8 (I know like 10 years late) and enjoying it. I've also watched Murderbot. A bit different from the book but still liking it a lot.

2a) The Old Guard 2 came out last week. spoilers for tog2 )

3) My container garden is growing. I've already harvested 3 little zucchini and a bunch of peppers. There are lots more peppers on the plants. The tomato plants are loaded with tomatoes. I noticed today that a couple are just starting to ripen.πŸ…πŸ…πŸ…

4) My flowers on the other hand are suffering from the curse of bunnies. They have destroyed the pansies by first eating all the flowers and then eating the plants practically to the dirt. They're eating the lilies. Even digging up some of the bulbs. There's lots of clover for them to eat but no, they have to eat my flowers. 🌷🌼🌺

5) I bought two new recliners to replace the ones I have. They'll be delivered Tuesday.

6) I had a carpenter ant scare and had to call an exterminator. Turned out it was carpenter bees and they treated for those and I haven't seen any further evidence of activity. Now I have a service contract with them and they'll come and spray twice a year and I can call any time for any problems that arise.🐜🐝

7) Still going to two exercise classes a week offered by the Senior Center (it's so weird to say that. I became old enough to join last year.πŸ˜•πŸ€”)

8) In the unexpected expenses department, I bought a new refrigerator this morning. The old one had been making concerning noises for a while. But last evening, I opened the freezer to get some ice cream and it was soft. I fiddled around with it a bit and got it going again. I decided it was time to replace it before cheetohlini's tariffs and shortages happen. I ended up buying from a local appliance store rather than a big box store. I need a smaller sized one and I prefer the freezer on the bottom. It was actually a little cheaper and it'll be delivered on Saturday.
