After getting the water running, I took a walk around the cabin and reported my findings to Carlo via telephone...
The flowers bloomed, the shrubs were looking weak, the birds built one hell of a nest in the last two weeks, the grass needs to be mowed, the new grass is looking good, the bird feeders are empty, a lot of branches have fallen, there's a lone mushroom growing, something ate my flowers from the flower box, wasps are flying into an opening under the addition and there are several butterflies fluttering about. After the run down, I unloaded the car, put everything away and swept the porches...yes, I left the bird nest alone.
Just as I sat down to enjoy the fresh air and quiet - someone started shooting off firecrackers - then a gun - then there was the revving of a motorbike. Ugh. I hear lots of people attempting to have their voices heard above all of these noises. Happy 5th of July!
Betty called and said her and Paul were going to stop by on their way home from the store - so I cleaned off the table and chairs and had a quick lunch. They visited for a couple of hours and brought me a balloon, a card and a mum plant for my birthday. It was a great day to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. After they left, I took a nap until Jackie and Alex arrived.
Jackie and Alex arrived around 6:00 ~
We had dinner and played with the musical card Alex picked out for me for my birthday. He picked out one for himself as well. Alex played with his cars and hid them in the shell of a clay turtle candle holder. I told Alex about all the critters that come around and showed him pictures of what to look for. He was very concerned about any bugs that might be up in the loft!
We sat on the swing and then Alex helped me put some food out for the animal by the tree - we never had a chance to see any of the food get nibbled at since we all went to bed around 9:00.
