~Birds Outside~

I was sitting here at my desk reading mail and I notice Dutch at the window here next to me, sitting on the bench I put there for the boys to see outside. I noticed that his tail was twitching and he was so excited.. I backed up so I could see what he was looking at.. Penny had put some left over bread and crackers, that were to me not very good ones, but I knew the birds would love them, and the boys could watch the birds while they ate them, I did that over at the apt too..When I looked out side there was the loveliest red cardinal hopping around out there just having a feast.. Both Dutch and I had a great time watching that little bird.. In a few minutes 2 more showed up along with a darker one which of course was the female cardinal..The males are the deep beautiful red.. My ex mother in law had a huge deck on the back of the house and fed the birds all winter and we used to love to watch those gloriously red males and the lovely females eating.. I am going to try to get a nice bird feeder for out there, I seemed to enjoy watching them as much as the boys..just a minute after I started to watch LB came up and the 3 of us sat for quite a while watching the birds as soon others realized there were bread and cracker crumbs out there, there were quite a few birds.they boys loved it. I know the cars coming down the road could see us probly wonder what we were doing.. I still think of that day when Dutch at the same moment that car turned and he stood up in the window and looked like he waved at those people..I know they have to still remember that it was so cute to see and the timing couldn't have been better, the lady and Dutch saw each other at the same time it looked like- she didn't see the bird he really wanted..but it sure put a smile on those 2 peoples faces . I saw her reach out and touch the man's arm as they both looked at the boy waving at them.. hes such a good kid..well sometimes..I guess I'll keep them for a while..:-) Then again-- lol.. well as I wrote that above.. I heard Dutch in the bedroom, of course trying to get to look out of the window probly saw a bird or squirrel, I didn't look this time I was too busy watching my curtain rod fall off the window!, curtains and all just hangin :-) .. I rolled in there and sat for a minute looking up at it..knowin' not a thing I could do about it..I just sat and didn't know whether to laugh or cry or what :-) I just sat there and Dutch is sittin on the bed looking all innocent as if to say "ohoh"..bad part was no one was expected to come by today, so that meant leaving it hang..and that means shadows on the wall even moreso tonite, which means Dutch is gonna be runnin his little patootie butt off :-) now all I need to do is plug in that touch lamp and wind up the clock he loves and that cat would go totally nutz lol..no mom will be nice..but I could sleep with the light on and that would stop the shadows..Im hoping that Penny will be able to fix it tomorrow for me. daily reminders im a short GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-) LB was in my rental power chair tryin to sleep..the look on him was "well what ya gonna do with this kid mom?" he gets up does a few circles and lays back down with his back to Dutch and me and the window..hes such a Garfield :-) The photo I took today..2 things to notice I'll draw your attention to..in case you don't see it.. look at the tips of my fingers on my hand ...you can see how dark they're getting..that's why I made the appointment with the vascular Dr. its the same on my right hand but the tips are a tad darker on that hand.. Also if you look at my left eye.. Im not winkin at ya..well I am but that eye has gotten to where it stays shut most of the time..and I honestly have no idea why, its easier to keep it the way it wants to be, I can concentrate and hold it open but then it just closes when my mind wanders off to something else..and if you know me, It has a tendency to do that :-) I am legally blind in that eye. I still have it and can see images out of it..but it has no lens on it and no focus at all..I lost it back in 84.. a piece of metal went through it..1mm from the center..If you look right into that eye if you were up close it looks just like a cats eye. the dark iris is not round like a normal eye mine is straight up and down, that eye was a nightmare part of my life back then..the pain with that was unimaginable as well..I have had 4 surgeries on it .. and still no sight that I could depend on if I lost my right..which over the years has gotten so bad..I have to wear magnifiers..I wear glasses all the time mainly for protection of my right eye which many many times ive been so glad Ive worn as things would have gotten into it had I not had them on.. now I wear them for that reason AND so I can read :-) Speakin of readin..well I thinks ive writ enough for this day, was a sunny day tho and most of our snow is gone..we had to change our time today and I guess Spring is springin.. Im gonna spring over to that bed and maybe get some sleep before I KNOW this kid is gonna be runnin..:-) so its time to say again."nitey nite".. :-) Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya..and thanks! Always, Lois ****
