My Red Mailbox and Birds

 It is gray and drippy outdoors. This is not my kind of weather. I know we need rain, but not gloom outdoors. And, it is dark too soon. Ugh!

GASLIGHT is on and an hour since I started putting bscb, I just now finished! We are having baked bscb, carrots and Brussels sprouts. 

I will send over to a neighbor a huge chicken breast and vegetables. He is a nice guy who wife died. He said every two or three days, he gets hungry and cooks. He has helped us out multiple times over the years, even before I moved here. 

People need to watch GASLIGHT. Most people I hear talk about the term 'gaslight' have no idea the meaning of 'gaslighting.'

Tommy went out to get the mail, and we both went out to spray paint the mailbox. That was our outside work. I cringe when I see the traffic on the interstates, so many cars. Not working does have its perks. 

After 32 days without rain, I finally got the mailbox cleaned off by Tommy. That was the day before it rained. Birds then fouled it. So, Tommy had to wash it again. He said the birds liked the red mailbox even better. He washed it again and it was a poop collector then and it rained. Today, he took out Dawn and vinegar in water and washed it with a paper towel!

No wonder it looked like dust on the top of the mailbox today after. I sprayed it for the last time. Next time, I will buy a red mailbox. Tommy put all the numbers on just perfectly aligned. Three peeled up because he put his big fingers on the sticky backs. Now, I have gotten out another three out of four numbers to replace them. That's okay because we have plenty. 

Cleaner sprayed the first coat. Tommy sprayed the second coat. I still had gray mailbox metal to put on the this last coat! If it still does not look right, I give up. 

Do birds like to poop on red?

Well, yes, they do according to one article. They poop more often on red cars!

Speaking of birds, their habits have become more like spring habits. Maybe it is the lack of torrid heat. They flit about, some seeming on a chase of others. They are spending time in the little ledges where they nest. Some seem to display mating habits. Have you noticed birds acting as though if it is spring?

Have you ever had someone, especially an intimate partner gaslight you?
