Typical day – sun, clouds, heat, a dabble of rain. But I was inside most of the day. Wednesday (big surprise!) is my cleaning day, which I did. I took some time this morning first thing to have a phone visit with my sister. We needed it! It was nice to catch up. We talked one hour and 2 minutes!
I got all the cleaning done and washed a load of towels. I had lots of trash to take up to the road, including 5 bags of lawn trash. They weren’t heavy (I packed them better) so I could do it myself. While I was up there I noticed that a few of the limbs on the front tree were hanging too low, so I clipped them off and bagged them, as well. There were several overgrown plants in the flower beds so I pulled them, roots and all, and tucked them into bags.
No — not like this….
By then I had taken inventory of the critters in my yard. First was a baby bunny, then a small dove sitting on the dismantled fire pit.
I needed a stone to prop up a wall, and when I went down the hill a robin flew out of a nest in terror and scared me to death! Once he was away, I peeked in and saw that there were 3 small blue eggs in the nest. You can’t see the nest unless you know it’s there – which I do now. Standing on the driveway, looking at Snoopy, the nest is straight up on the left from Snoopy’s black ear.
Three tiny eggs…
I also moved a few of the stones from the firepit to create a small barrier wall by the bench. That was a fairly easy move, but the rest of the stones will take some work to move. I’ll wait for help.
I think it looks pretty cool.
SCRIPTURE of the DAY:
PEANUTS?
TOMORROW July 10th is:
Don’t Step on a Bee Day; Gospel Day; National Kitten Day; Pick Blueberries Day; Teddy Bear Picnic Day.
I used to make a regular occurrence out of stepping on bees. I never wore shoes outside in summer. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a teddy bear picnic? We could share the gospel with them. God bless…
