~Rainy Sunday~

Its a rainy Mother's Day today. Did you know birds go out

in the rain? I was sitting and looking at my now empty bird

feeder and there were birds all over it.. Even my Gorgeous

Cardinal was by this morning.. It was raining so hard I could

see the big splashes as it hit the top of the feeder.. The birds

did NOT care.. I know I see them in birdbaths and that they

arent afraid of water, but I honestly never paid attention before

that they do go flying around even when its raining.. I have seed

all over the ground out there and Penny will have to go and get

some more seed to refil it.

I looked at the morning glories Penny planted by the bottom of

the fence and I bet they are an inch high already.. That flower

bed needs cleaned out so bad.. I could do it if I could get out

there.. My rose bushes are coming along really good, this red

one by the window is doing great.. I noticed that my new

impatients that are in the box seem to be liking the rain.. They

are protected a bit by that big cedar tree out there. That needs

trimmed, but well Chris doesn't seem to think so.

I have a very good friend that is still in the tree service and I am

debating on calling him to come and check out these trees. I

have so much dead wood out in the yard that has come out of

these trees and that's NOT good.. I don't expect him to do any

of this tree stuff for nothing so Im going to see how much it is

then give the estimate to Chris..It would be to his benefit to

take care of these trees or he will have another house like he

did last year that a tree fell on because it needed work and he

didn't do it.. I sure don't want these trees coming down on this

house, as bad as some of our storms have been It could easily

happen...

Last summer we had tornado warnings, and Donnie and Dawn

live west of me about 20 miles maybe, not far. We were having

some serious wind and the whole 9 yards of this storm.. I was

sitting on my bed watching TV and the phone rang, was them.

Donnie says "Gran, the storm is really bad, Im in my basement,

where are you , you need to get to your basement" I laffed at him

cuz he knew I couldn't get in the basement.. I told him " Donnie,

honey, I think I would rather sit here on my bed covered with

pillows than kill myself rolling this chair down those basement

steps!" .. he laughed.. I had no place to hide, and here I have

a huge basement down there.. oh well.. all I could do was just

sit and pray and watch TV till the storm passed, it did and no

damage, that's the joys of summer though.. Bad storms..

Ive not done anything today and I was surprised when I looked

at the time, where did today go? I havent eaten anything and I

am hungry but I have no idea what would taste good.. My

appetite has diminished a lot lately..Even Rebecca and Theresa

say I have lost weight! Now, that's great!.. I don't see it..but

if they do that works for me.. my work is in the kitchen, so its

time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"... :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again.....
