We got back from the school board meeting sometime after 11 PM then stayed up until 2 or so. Hence, just getting around to writing at 9:20 this morning. My defense begins at 3 PM and I have a couple errands to run before then.
Tina Turner has figured out how to get out of the yard. I usually walk the dogs but this morning I just let them out of the back door into the fenced in back yard. When I went to let them in for breakfast, Tina was over at the neighbors. She came when I called and I let her back in, but we need to figure this out. We tied her to the picnic table yesterday since we put them in the back yard for our trip. But I don’t want to have to tie her up every time. So, once I finish this and go let the chickens out, I’ll do some investigating.
Scared a squirrel off the sunflower feeder and he landed in the pond! Lucky for him, it’s frozen enough that he could bounce off and head up the chimney to the roof. The virds are lining up for Bob’s peanut butter suet. There’s a red bellied woodpecker on the feeder, two blue birds, actually make that three, and either a goldfinch or a warbler waiting. It’s amazing I get anything done with the view that I have.
I am forming my spring break to do list in my mind: the human subjects paperwork for my study, taxes, and spring cleaning. I’m going to put the winter decorations away and give everything a good dusting and scrubbing. I love the wood stove but it seems to crank out dust non stop. My folks are coming to visit next weekend and I want the place to look nice. The rug in the living room needs replaced, and I’m going to pull up the kitchen rug and scrub the floor. I’m also going to hook up the record player and ibook to do some albums.
Aah, the first cup of coffee is finished. Time for jeans and chickens. Blessings for the day!
