Sunday we were a bit tired, actually exhausted! Terry took off the day (accept for irrigating) and I took off time to work in my yard (I planted the garden and set out plants for half of the yard — all together the whole thing comes to 1.5 acres and can get too much if I don’t stay with it, real fast.) I also got my dusting and vacuuming done. Terry did all the irrigating except I helped him just before nightfall.
Saturday Terry and I went into town and helped our son work on his ‘new to him’ house. He had an old fireplace he wanted the bricks removed from and to set up his air conditioner, that took the morning. After changing the water we went back in and helped him hang his drapes and curtains.
He is really getting this old place, built in 1918, up to speed. I find it fun to see what changes he has accomplished from one visit to the next. There are a couple of more projects we will help with, but after that he won’t need the extra hands.
While we were there a little boy from two blocks came over looking for the little boy that lives next door. We were shocked to see he had a bird riding on his shoulder.
The bird does not fly away. The little boy said that the bird had been hurt about two years ago, by flying into a ceiling fan. After the bird recovered he was never able to fly again. So now the bird goes everywhere with the little boy. He said he would take him to school but the teachers won’t let him.

Thats nice you went into town and helped your kid, also nice he got a house! That is cool bird, hes pretty. We had a cockatoo growing up, and then my in laws had a green parrot, they had him for like 15 years, (still young for a parrot) and one of the damn dogs got ahold of it. That was sad. Good luck to your son on getting his place squared away.

Linda, I’m playing catch up with my blog reading. Love those adventures of Fuzzy and Boomer. Lately there never seems to be enough hours in the day, I am always behind. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your beautiful flower and vegetable gardens! Hugs from Maine, Julie.

How sweet. There is a man who supplies the pet store with birds and they are so cutetogether. The birds will nuzzle his face and give him kisses. Unfortunately the ones he supplies start at $1500 so I won’t be buying one.

I met a gal who was talking about how exhausted her daughter was from cleaning out irrigation ditches! I immediately thought of you and all of the work you have done to get ready for the season!

I’m amazed at how much you get done in a day. Terry takes a day off and irrigates??
I’ve had my share of renovations with my daughter . She really likes renovations. Now she has a1948 house so there’s lots to do.
