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.
