Dab of This and That

I know - I have not been visiting around  the land of blog as much recently. However, as we all know - life gets busy.  Nothing in the category of blog material.   Had to play catch-up on several issues, and make plans for an upcoming event and issues involved.
Then the errand list yelled "tend to me", so off to get the car oil chg./tires rotated and car washed (finally).  Pollen was so thick on it, had to turn on windshield washer to clean it so could see where I was going. Major stock up type shopping trips, which included one  to DT, and as usual came out with a lot more than I went after, but did stock up on baggies of all sizes/types, and other assorted supplies,  post office, etc., etc....
Since my "decluttering" project has gone by the wayside for the time being, I went ahead and took what I had boxed/sacked up to GW. Glad to finally get that out of the car as have been carting it around for a while now.
Then there is the "unplanned" trip to the dentist!  $$$   %#!@# !!!   And the list goes on..........

No decorating going on around here these days:   Have not really added any decor to this spot on the counter since Christmas, and did not want to "tax" my brain (already taxed to the hilt with more important things these days) to come up with something new and different, so just moved the faux (I tend to kill the real ones) succulents from the window sill,  and called it good.
Well - Yes!  That is some Christmas wrapped chocolate candy in the upper left corner!  I am trying to be good ya know....

Until I picked up these little gems at DT a couple of days ago - Yummy!  Says 3 servings to a box - Not sure about that as it seems to be more like 1, possibly 2 if a person has a bit of willpower.

Update on courtyard flowers  Some of the pots of begonias I recently repaired as squirrels dug in them, had to be repaired AGAIN!   Don't know what their problem is, but really wish they would go dig else where.  As stated before, already lost a pot of oriental lilies, and now  the calla lily does not look very "spiffy", the pink seed geranium, and gerber daisy have not put out new buds, and a  pot of petunias that the heavy rain beat down has not produced any new buds.   Has really been a rough year on annuals this year - gave them all a bit of plant food and hope they will recover.
I have only a few iris left, and not one bloomed this year.  I noticed a neighbor's did not bloom either. Whats up with that?

Yep! Just another Dab of This and That ramble.  Off to heat up some leftover BBQ,baked beans, add a little slaw and a glass of vino and call it dinner.
Hope everyone is enjoying their week.
