I Feel Like Yapping

My Outside Bed! 
I really don't have a lot to say.   I cleaned off the patio today and put away all the summer stuff.  I did not put my outside bed away because I am still sleeping outside even though it was 6 C (43 F) last night.  I feel warm and cozy.  Last night I slept on a sheepskin and that kept me toasty.  It really is comforting out there on my blow-up air bed.  Quiet.  Clean air.  I feel safe even though anyone could walk up my back stairs and find me there.  PS- The duck in the picture fell off the banister rail and smashed into pieces.  Poor duck.  His legs had already been broken in a previous accident.  I feel somewhat sad.  


I am pleased to hear that changes that are happening in the U.S. today.  I wrote on a blog today that even though there are a multitude of problems in Canada that make me hang my head in shame I am proud that lesbians, gays and bisexuals have been able to serve in the military since 1992.  Canada has allowed gay marriage since 2005.  There is a song in honour of today over there >>> Listen if you feel like it. I can't seem to get it to work.  meh.  OK, I can't get it to work.  The song is no longer there. 


My neighbour gave me tomatoes yesterday.  Oh, yes she did.  I love having nice neighbours.  I have never lived in an actual house as an adult so it is a real treat to be given tomatoes and cucumbers.  I let her know that there would be eggs next year to return the favour.


The wasps are very cranky today.  I am glad they are on their last few days. The hummingbirds seem to have gone south. I am watching  chickadees that are flitting around outside.  It seems they like where I hung their new feeder.  I think I may have to get a new one because I can anticipate having to refill it daily in the winter.  


I have managed to get through this day without a nap.  I am off to pick my kids up at school.  I am making my kids read The Help so I am taking them to see it at the theatre after school.  I read the book last year and saw the movie last month. Popcorn for dinner!  Yay!

    I'm glad you are sleeping more comfortably and that you have kind neighbors who are sharing the bounty from their garden with you. Small things can make ones day!!

    Well, a bit better than meh already.
    Go on like that and you'll soon find nothing to be miserable about. Oh dear. Then what will you do :-)

    I expect an outside bed is a great boon too. Don't get your toes frozen off.

    Birdie --I love your idea of sleeping outside at night. I might just try it one of these nights. I have a nice comfortable cot I could use. I must see HELP as everyone is talking about it. Perhaps I should read the book first. Hope you and your lads enjoyed the movie and it is always great to have popcorn for dinner. -- barbara
