More of the Same

I have about 4-5 wren houses close to the house, and the "chattering" is about to drive me crazy! The babies are constantly squawking as they await in their gourd nests of sticks for mommy to return. I'm looking forward to peace and quiet. And robins are getting all my raspberries (red and black) before I do!

I took my truck in for an oil change (at my usual 6000 mi) and to check on a slow tire leak. Sure enough, they found a nail. I hate when that happens. But I'm now ready to hit the road. I need a place to go. I'm considering upper peninsula of Mich.
Unfortunately, I have too much to do around here.

I also stopped in to see my father yesterday. We acted as if nothing ever happened. He was in good spirits and was "civil".

Not much else going on. Golf today plus more stuff to do around the house. Haven't seen or heard from my kids in nearly two weeks. Guess we're all busy.

Oh yes, caught another mole. And yet, there are more!! Must have been a family.

Have a great weekend. Stay cool.

I don't think so. I have visions of being That Old Lady, in the nursing home, who no one ever visits.
Did you shoot those birds? No, don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Of course not. I'm still an animal "liker" (I won't say "lover"). I don't even own a BB gun, let alone a rifle.

Hopefully, the wrens will mature soon. They will fly off then, won't they?

Now it's baby robins out of their nests, but still squawking for mother's food--my raspberries!

Ron thinks we have moles in the new yard. I'm trying to convince him that they are alright where they are.

Except when they make hills which are tough to mow over. And in the garden.

I hear birds starting to wake up at 230 now. That is too early. It is still very dark. I love the UP. Several years ago some friends and I did the loop up through WI to Copper Harbor in the UP through Marquette to Pictured Rocks to the big waterfall to Mackinac Island and down through lower Michigan and IN to home. It was a lovely trip.

Sounds like something I'd like to do. Maybe this autumn.

I haven't seen one daughter, who lives here in town, since April 1st.

Yikes! Are you on the "outs" with her?

Don't concentrate on the birds as noise ... think of the chatter as nature expressing itself.

It's nothing. I just like to complain. Anyway, they're gone now.
