Tuesday's Things......

 The  young male cardinal returned today for some sunflower seeds. I had not seen him for a couple of days.  The female was at the feeder yesterday.

It was sprinkling while I was taking shots. If you look closely at the photo you can see the circles or rings made by the raindrops.  It never did rain but I guess something scant is better than nothing. 

It made me happy to see these sprouts from the base of the phlox.  I had just moved it there and it died down right away but the roots are aparently alive and well. 

Whatever this corn leafed plant makes the birds will love it.  I will feed it to my cocatiels if it matures and survives the outside birds. 

I had a volunteer cone flower growing up among my front rock garden.  They were  big enough with lots of roots that I could move it back here.  I was too lazy to move the plastic goose and just planted it right under his nose. They should do well.  I have filled up my cottage garden and couldn't find a good place ofr it.  I thought this would be a good place to start it. 

I had a leak under the sink in the kitchen.  I hate plumbing.  It was the connection between the garbage disposer and to the drain.  I took everything out and put the parts into clear plastic bags. I took it all to Ace and bought everything brand new.  I have installed it all now with a lot of difficulty. Plastic drain pipes are good but the require a lot of trial and error to get it all to fit into the space.  I have not drips now.  I think the drain was getting plugged up at the far end and the house was built in 2003.  I will quit watching it daily for a week or so before I declare it fixed.  

We have a sunny day today and the grass is greening up a bit.  I won't mow until more of the brown turns to green.  Resting up from being a plumber and standing on my head.  I thank you for stopping by today.
