My sister has ducks visit her pool every summer, often to nest in the nearby bushes. They are a problem, hard to get rid of them in a good way. Recently she noticed a nest of eggs and was worried about them hatching. But shortly after that she suspects a raccoon may have destroyed the eggs. Nature has its way.
I recently learned from Sandra's blog that reading to shelter dogs is a good thing. Have you heard about this? It can lower their stress and improve their adoption chances.
Son K and I didn't get covid, I had mentioned last week about it running through our family. We have tested negative a couple of times since husband M tested negative himself.
We saw the new Elvis movie. It is more of a biography. We enjoyed it very much. I felt like clapping at the end. It is not an entertaining movie, quite serious but gripping. It moved along at a good pace. We never realized the important black influence on Elvis' music at a time when there was so much racism in the US (as there still is today).
I remember when we entered the movie theatre we went to a kiosk to scan and print our tickets. There often are no people at a counter to do this for you anymore. Husband M helped an older couple (like us, maybe even a bit older) find where to point their phones on the machines to scan and print their tickets. They thanked him and he told them he just found out how to do it the last time he was there. Times are changing so quickly.
I recently made my own teriyaki sauce. It is simple, only 4 ingredients in this recipe. This link explains the golden ratio 2:2:2:1. Mix the ingredients together and reduce the sauce to 70%.
Do you think you might try it too? I also always have a store bought bottle.

I am not one for poetry, but happy to come up with something for the theme today! I do enjoy quotes though.
I decided to bake some shrimp the other day. 400F for 6-8 mins depending on the size of the shrimp. It is so much easier than sauteing them in a pan. Just add your favourite seasonings and some olive oil.
