Finishing the Winter Chores–Thursday, March 5, 2015

Terry and I are finishing work on the other house…it’s been a process, but we are almost done.

Work-on-the-other-house  Yesterday Terry had to crawl under the house to work on some stuff under there.  Before he even could begin he had to dig out a tunnel.   Together, we finally got a pathway over to the old duct work; he dug and I hauled. Gradually we made a tunnel big enough to get from here to there and everywhere so the work that needs to be done under there can be done.

Today we will finish hanging the sheetrock in the kitchen.  Then we will continue work on the conversion of a unused room into a very nice usable room–a possible extra bedroom.

While working on all this I kept hearing a very unusual bird song…

Towhee-1Finally I saw the lone little bird calling to me—

Towhee-2It was a Towhee!  I (personally) have never seen a Towhee.  I don’t know if this one was blown off course or if we have them all the time. It sure was a friendly little feathered bird.

Towhee-3He/she would hop close to where I was walking, then fly a short distance away from me. I didn’t see another or even a small flock, just this one.

Sure made my work go fast…

Your friend,

Linda
