Sun Tea recipe

This works great on a sunny day.


And you save energy by letting the sun do the work.

Too bad for me that clouds rolled in soon after I set out my half gallon of water and tea bags. It took all day to change the liquid into tea.

And if clouds roll into your sky, too, you can always bring it inside and heat it up in the microwave. Whatever, the tea won’t go to waste.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Tractor Supply chirps

Walk into the store and you’ll immediately hear them. The chicks and ducklings are for sale.

Just hearing their chirps made my day.

I stopped at Tractor Supply because I needed wild-bird seed and suet blocks. Also, I wanted a 50-pound bag of chicken layer crumbles. Of course, I couldn’t lift the large bag after my operation. That problem was easily solved. All I had to do was ask and the clerk got the bag, checked me out, and delivered everything to my car.

Too bad I couldn’t bring a few chicks home. Just taking care of my 3 hens is enough trouble for me these days.

Cats again

This video drove me crazy in more ways than one.

I’m afraid it wouldn’t link here so you’ll have to click on it to see and hear what happened.

Unbeknownst to me, this was replaying on my computer over and over again.

I was in the kitchen by the window and kept looking out for the bird that had to be chirping on my porch. It sounded very familiar, just like my clock in the living room, but it wasn’t top of the hour, so no clock bird was chirping.

I started searching the house for this bird. Could it have gotten in when I was setting out birdseed on the front porch?

It must have been thirty minutes before I noticed the cat video was replaying with the bird chirping at the end.

I Gasslighted myself.

Barn-E playing

This short video should make you smile.

Barn-E makes me laugh. He’s my daily entertainment.

And he’s pretty good at cuddling, too.

Tweeting today and every day

I was told to expect something in the mail, but not what would be coming.

This is the gift that arrived.

This gift keeps giving every hour on the hour, but not at night. The birds don’t chirp if it is dark.

Thank you to my sister, Karen, Mike, and Joyce. You made my day and many days to come.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
