Day 228 in Week 33 of August 2026

Well, the local Dollar General now sells banana pops. Banana pops, (frozen flavored sugar water)is my favorite frozen pop flavor. For sherbet, pineapple is my favorite. And for ice cream, since childhood, coffee is my favorite flavor. 

Feeling not so great for a few days, I’m doing better. Except for. My fingertips hit the grocery cart edge, pushing my healing broken wrist hand, (now out of the splint) too far back. It hurt. A lot. 

I saw a male goldfinch land on a long shrub branch, causing it to bounce and bounce. He flew away after a few rides.  I think birds like the bouncing branches

Have a great week!

  4. Hope you feel better soon. That would be fun watching the birds bounce off a limb. As a kid I loved banana pos. Will need to check them out again. Janice

      Red winged black birds sitting atop a blade of tall grass is another amazing perch.

  5. Banana pops? No thank you! I love bananas (on the green side) but don't like artifical flavours (peaches too).
    So sorry you had an 'ouch' with your hand....perhaps wearing a brace when you're out and about might be a good idea for awhile, just for support.
