Cool start to the morning so our morning walk continued from Church Street around the fire hall and back home. Nice and peaceful watching the fog rise over the hill and seeing all the little birds going about their daily lives.
Speaking of birds. The grackles squawk every time I go outside. Apparently they prefer the good bird food to the millet mix purchased on the most recent Wal-Mart pickup. Poor birdies. The finches and sparrows don't seem to mind. Nor do the mourning doves.
Henrietta stands at the back living room screen and watches the grackles strutting under the feeders like the bird mobsters they are. I watch the smaller birds in the thorn-apple tree as the swoop down to grab a seed then return to their perch to crack it open. From time to time one will pass inches from the window frame moving too fast for an accurate identification.
Reorganized all the clothes drawers in the bedroom. Have a whole sack of clothes to drop off at the Salvation Army. Will have more to go after I clean out the closet in the den. Would really like to have wooden shelves all along the wall. Make it into a sewing room.
Pulling up some of the carpet this week. Been waiting for cooler weather and need to take advantage of what very well could be the last of the 70 degree weather for a while. Summer officially begins next Sunday. I'm not ready for it.
Am trying to form new habits. Today marks eighteen days on DuoLingo learning Spanish.
A load of light clothes in the washer and a dark wash ready to go in next. Need to move the bookcase to the back bedroom and start clearing the canning shelves. Crafts are going back in the den. So much to do...so little time.
Ah well. Sitting here burning daylight isn't getting anything done. Time to get the work done.
