Happy Father's Day

We had a mellow day.  There was puttering around the house and the yard getting little things done.  I did a bit of weeding and made some things to make noise in the garden.  I can't call what I made wind chimes.  They didn't chime when there was a light breeze.  They will make noise if something knocks into them or the wind blows hard enough.  I'm skeptical that these makers of noise will be loud enough to keep any animals out of the garden.  I made most of them with wire coat hangers and old silverware or other old metal kitchen items.

When it was too hot to be outside (much of the day/week) I played computer games.  There is an air conditioner that will hopefully make its way into my room this week, but for now I have a fan that I can hardly feel from across the room.  This is turning out to be one heck of a hot season.  

The battery in my Fit Bit died again today.  It only lasted about a week this time.  When my Fit Bit Zip was new the battery lasted three months.  That was five and a half years ago.  I ordered a Fit Bit Inspire HR through a health program from work tonight.  I will have to remember to charge it every five-ish days.  I can do this.

My happy for today is that we finally identified the trees that line the border of the yard by the driveway.  The are a Privet tree? bush? These are large enough to be trees.  It seems that they are normally trimmed two or three times a year but that hasn't happened here in a while.

It is hard to see, but there are forks and spoons hanging here.

Blueberries.

Stay safe.
