Out and about

Went into town yesterday, and when we went to get in the truck, there was a bird inside wanting to get out.   That's what happens when you leave the windows open.

If it ain't the grasshoppers eating up the garden, it's the damn rats.  Phillip went out to water the garden this am, and found the rats had chewed a chunk out of the first zucchini there was.  Blasted things.  It's a bit depressing to find the garden overtaken by the critters and bugs.  Makes a person wonder if it is all worth it.   We were talking today about when we moved here, and Phillip planted a garden.  Planted it back of the house, a 12 inch high  chicken wire around it, and we had potatoes, zucchini and beets when we went up to Idaho that year , at the last of May  Hard to believe it now.   I guess the birds, bugs and critters just haden't found us yet by then.

Everyone take care.  Love ya'll.  Granny

Visit.

Mike Gindy and Alex came to visit. Its been a long time since we have
seen them. So good to see them too. Just not enough time to visit.
Maybe next year they can stay longer. Not enough time to get in all
the news. Alex was just a baby the last time I saw him, and now he is
getting to be a good looking young man. Smart to I might add
.No painting today, too keyed up. I really need to take a nap.
Love ya'll, Granny.

Done!

I finished up the painting I was working on before the clouds came in.  We got clouds, but no rain.  We need the rain.  Lots of rain going on, but seems to go around us.

The 7th was Mom and Freds birthday.

We had stuff packed up in case we had to evacuate because of the fire.  Fire went the other direction. Just seems like we packed it up for the Yarnell one last year.  Might as well leave it packed.  Fires all the time , every summer it seems.

Oh well,  great life if you don't weaken.
