    From the looks of the forecast we'll be starting the cookrange Friday or Saturday.  I started the pellet stove about two this morning.  Yesterday there were woodpeckers here looking for suet. They haven't been here all summer. I'll put some suet out today. It is plenty cool enough. it won't spoil.

    Maegin cut all my hibiscus blossoms for tea.  It is covered with blossoms again.  Beautiful pink ones.  Not only is the tea pleasant tasting and pretty, it is very good for the heart and helps cure inflammation.  We'll enjoy this round of blossoms for a while, then she'll harvest them.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
