We've been really thrilled watching Mom and Dad Bluebird teaching their three babies how to fly and also get their own dinner and breakfast. Last night we sat out for over and hour watching the little ones perched on Lex's run as their parents flew around, and down collecting bugs and upon occasion sharing them with the little guys. Then the babies flew off and tried to do the same as their parents. What a sight! This morning as we returned from Lizzy B's and drove up the driveway the fragrant multi flora roses, which clog the woods but are beautiful and aromatic, were the perfect backdrop for the Bluebird Family as they flitted about getting their bug breakfast. What a pleasure for us to have the time to watch nature taking it's course. Now I'll have to get back to the mundane tasks! Washed windows in the computer/Kiddo room yesterday and it took a very long time! I removed both sets of windows from each of the three window openings plus washed the curtains. It all looks nice and bright now. If it lasts for more than a day I shall be happy! Washing windows in this old homestead is so much work! Don't know when I'll have the fortitude to tackle another room. Puppy's Pop had an appointment with pharmacology at the VA in Providence yesterday and they have finally cut him loose for at least a year. The niacin in a proper dose and his diet of oatmeal and cutting down on red meat has done wonders. He's down to his weight when we got married! Would I had the same gumption as he!
