Hibiscus, Salmon, Pesto, Ibis and more...

Today we did have a nice cool dry morning start; we even opened the windows to air out the house.
And so we decided to get a little transplanting done.
Months ago when we trimmed back our Hibiscus, a red blossom one, I experimented with rooting hormone, and some very healthy Miracle Grow moisture control soil, and voila, we got additional rooted specimens, three in all.
One had been planted on the side of our home a few weeks ago, it was just what our quiet blank beige stucco wall needed a splash of color, and it does pop!
We took another one this time its location was a mutual choice, against the fence just inside the dirty non grassy yet area where the CC or Crap Corral used to be. One more is left and we have offered it to people we know, but so far it still remains in the infant nursery pot it was planted into root.
We finished all that before lunch and then went on to vote on our absentee ballots in the comfort of our kitchen/dinette table, they are all done too.
My husband and I did consult on some different amendments as well as a couple of candidates, but otherwise we went solo brain on most final decisions.
Until they were sealed we didn’t tell each other that we only canceled each other out, maybe, one or two times voting for opposing candidates
But you have to remember it is only when we are very tired that we combine our brain power, and we weren’t that tired yet for this project.
Tomorrow they will be dropped off if we can find the location.
Oddly enough the envelopes they send you only have P.O. Box numbers on it.

The herbs we are growing and our Key Lime were utilized today too.
I made pesto sauce from our very own Basil, and used some mint and a Key lime for my green tea.

Our dinner tonight definitely made up for last night’s disaster, our menu was: Broiled Salmon with Pesto Sauce, cauliflower steamed, and tossed noodles with the remainder of the pesto, delish! All cooked to perfection and quite tasty too.

After dinner we noticed some action going on outside of our front window, which is floor to ceiling nearly it was just a flutter caught from our peripheral vision; on further investigation we found 25 Ibis were scoping out the lawns for food stuff for their dinner. We are not quite sure what their diet includes, we can only assume lizards, insects and such.
They are quite comical to watch they scurry from yard to yard like a Rockettes dance troop, but occasionally when frightened they fly up and then land within a few feet of where they were, actually quite entertaining.

Sadly Julian King, Jennifer Hudson’s 7 year old nephew has not been found.

Anne Pressly, the TV anchor from Arkansas lost her battle last night shortly after 7 not surviving her attacker’s beating after a six day fight for life, and the previous report was so hopeful. I was definitely shocked to hear that she did in fact die from her wounds.
May that beautiful talented 26 year old woman rest in peace and our hearts go out to her family with condolences; no parent should ever have to bury a child, so very sad.

Now something that has been annoying my husband and myself is that ad for Senator John McCain with the picture that is supposed to be the Oval Office we presume.
The ad states with conviction that Senator Barack Obama has not had any executive experience to sit in that chair and take over in a national emergency or even to be able to handle the daily tasks of a job he has never ever done.
The question both my husband I were wondering is when has Senator John McCain had that experience?
And if he did; where were we?

Good night to all and to all let us know, OK?
