We had salami and melon again.
We had tomato and salami sandwiches for supper tonight.
There was a similar video a while back, I think this may be it:
This link might work better:
We had melon and salami tonight, along with potato salad.
Steak and potatoes for supper tonight.
Tomorrow I'm going to make potato salad for Memorial Day. It's best if it ages for a day to let the oil and vinegar soak in to the potatoes.
I need to make another batch of peanut butter cookies, either tonight or tomorrow.
We had burgers on the grill tonight.
We're going to be doing some renovation work on our lawn, which has gotten pretty sad over the last few years, as the tall fescue we put in 25 years ago has not held up well in the hot/dry summers. There are a lot of bare spots and too many weeds.
We're going to start by dethatching the entire yard, then scarifying the spots that are thin or bare to prepare it for seeding.
We're going to put microclover in the back yard over the bare spots, but probably overseed clover in other places.
In the front we're going to put buffalo grass and microclover in the bare spots and probably overseed the other parts with both as well. The buffalo grass is a native plant that goes dormant when it gets too hot and dry. Clover is also very drought tolerant.
That pizza looks nice, Len. I haven't made a pizza in a while, but now that grilling season is upon us I might start doing some pizzas on the grill, those were really good last summer.
We went with tacos for supper tonight, because there was rain coming so I didn't want to do burgers on the grill.
And we did get a little squall right around the time we ate, and it may rain on-and-off for another hour. We could certainly use the moisture.
The squirrels will stare in the door to my wife's sitting room if she hasn't put the food out yet in the morning or if they run out of food or water. I've had one climb up on the window sill in the informal dining area and stare in at us, too.
When she does put it out, there's a wild scramble by the birds for the food, with the squirrels not far behind.
Grackels and other birds have taken to grabbing a peanut and dipping it in the water. Helps it go down better, maybe?
If nothing else, the Amazon item might give your husband ideas about things like size. It appears they're open at the top, I was wondering if critters would just climb over them. I don't think it would slow down squirrels for more than a minute.
If you've never seen the squirrel maze videos on Youtube (there are now 3 of them, I think #2 is the best), they're rather funny.
At $7.50 each these might be a bit pricey, though once you figure material cost and your time (and skills) it might be a reasonable tradeoff.
I can't get the link or image to post, but I searched on Amazon and found:
