Bird news...

Day two...
It would seem that Mr. B Bird has made some progress with Mrs. B Bird.  Today was a busy day with the Mrs. flying in and out of the house getting the bedding in place.  Seems that she is beginning to see the plus side of living in an original JB Russell family one of a kind hotel.  Well...I guess it's not one of a kind since I think the building resulted in about 18 one of a kind hotels.  And wouldn't you know it.  The mama to be is doing all the work with anticipation just like we people mothers...get the crib ready...buy the diapers...and more.  The mister sits around watching, fighting off the chipmunks and keeping other bird neighbors away from those yummy dried M. worms.  And when the Mrs. takes off to find more bedding...the Mr. followers her to see that she safely returns.  It's been fun to watch today.  The nest is about 8 feet from the patio.  We have front row seats.  Rain continues...Hostas are at their all time big.  Got groceries at Aldi's and then on to Habig's to get smelly stuff to keep the deer away.  Our front yard is full of deer tracks.  Got to keep them away from some of their favorite food in the flowerbeds.

Memorial Day

What did I do?  Watched the birds.  So interesting.  Wren checked out the Blue Bird house.  What's up with that.  Mr. B Bird is trying to get Mrs. B Bird to move in to the new house.  That was really interesting.  What more does she want.  Dried M. Worms...Yum...Bird Bath...New House...Trees to see the world.  More bird friends...Cardinals flying in...Wood Peckers and even an Owl to listen to.

Well...time will tell.  It was Steak and Shake supper and then a trip to the Dairy Queen.  I did a bit of transplanting...Took out some Black Eyed Susans...way to many.  Planted Zinnia seeds again.  Maybe it's warm enough to grow at this point.

Yesterday we helped our neighbors clear underbrush from a long line of trees.  Bill doesn't know what anything is and there were a ton of trash bushes, honey suckle, to saw away.  Church was a bit sparse on people.  The calendar looks clear this week.  That makes me happy.  

Knee continues to work well although I'm getting tired of the knee pain.  I want to think of something else.  Today...pills made my day.  So...I thought of something else.  Yahoo.  Doc appointment next Monday.  Then I'm hoping for therapy.  I'm such an old tottery lady.  I can't do much about the old but I'm certainly going to do something about the tottery!

Answers.

Answer...Garage door opener...Cord was gone...don't know when it went...I thought that was the solution but Doug pulled an easier solution...stay home.  Cord now has been replaced by me. It was a ladder job...Doug doesn't do those any more.

Another answer...went to Ortho Indy today with questions about my continued sore knee.  It seems when I fell 6 weeks ago getting that black eye...I also broke my knee cap.  Woo...I knew that fall was a doozie!  So since it's been almost 6 weeks...healing is happening but need perhaps 2 more weeks...At least that's a return to the Ortho doctor.  Then we'll see.  So...it's take it's easy again directive. It's no gardening for a while.  Maybe a cane, more ice and better attention to where I'm going is the cure!  Then I'm hoping for therapy.  Had I gone to Ortho when this all happened getting ready for Palm Sun. at church...it would have been knee brace and crutches.

This old lady once again says thank you to Ortho Indy Doctors.  Woo...two knees, two shoulders and 4 finger surgeries...They know how to get me back together.  My mother warned me when I was little.  Once again...she was right.

And another Fri.

This one included NO power for 24 hrs.  Huge very bad storm with lots of power outage.  Our electric lines are not buried.  It was not such a good thing since the garage door was down for one thing.  So we just stayed home...It really gave me a great excuse to sleep with I did all day today.  I seemed to have burned the candle at both ends with garden work which left me wacked out.  and then since no power...no sleeping machine.  NOT a good thing.  So sleep I did.  Lots of power saws in the neighborhood.  Trees and power lines took a big hit.  So...time to take it easy.

Another Friday.

It's been a fun week.  Tues. spent the morning with Sarah Ellen...What a good friend.  We laughed and shopped and then laughed some more.  Had a great breakfast together.   Weather has been predicted rain days with no rain.  So...planting continues and what has been planted in the past is just jumping out of the ground.  Fun continues...Stopping at garden shops to buy a little of this and that or just to look.  I love looking.  Thurs. Sarah Ellen came to Soup Kitchen to work.  She along with two other church ladies started this mission about 30 years ago.  What fun sharing her with other friends.  Choir practice last night.  We're singing at First Baptist Church Sunday with their choir.  Kids are hear today but it's a bit gloomy outside although that doesn't effect them very much.  Wet grass is a bummer.  Cleaned a messy cupboard where I had spilled rice...Ugh!  Sweeper helped.  Went through the pantry stuff which didn't take long because my pantry is small.  Two people don't need much.  Made cookies and broccoli soup.  Yum.
