~Birds Aint Scared~

I was watching a movie yesterday afternoon when we got a warning

across the bottom of the TV that said 'tornado watch'. Which doesn't

mean one is out there, just that its possible and the storm with it could

do damage.. So I decided to go out to the kitchen and watch the storm

as it got here.. It was just raining lightly and a tad windy, not bad.. I

listened to the thunder and saw the faint lightning flashes and the storm

wasn't close, I didn't think.. the birds were still out there eating and flying

around..The wind got stronger and as I sat there I saw the line of rain

that was coming my way.. It was like a chorus line of dancers stomping

their feet in water as they danced across the lawn, my driveway and by

the time that line of water dancers got to my roof it was like a thundering

bunch of animals that you hear on TV.. The birds were STILL out there...

They werent afraid at all.. Here I am, and these 2 cats and we are kinda

scared! :-)

The crows were still out there fighting over the corn, the little brown guys

and even the doves.. They still wobbled around the yard, even with the

thunder and lightning!.. I was surprised to see that..Made me feel kinda

stupid for being scared :-) The hummer is back.. and hes super fast this

year. Penny saw him yesterday..By the time I get the camera up he's

moving so fast from side to side I cant get a good photo ! He sat on top

the hanger for awhile but by the time I got the camera on, the flash shut

off and the zoom up hes gone! That's the problem! Too much to do to

get the camera ready.... THEN you have to push the button down part

way till the lines show green so you know its in focus!! Well if I don't

have my glasses on.. I cant tell !!! Then when I download the photos I

see they WERE otta focus,, I know.. I have MORE problems hey? :-)

Anyhoway.. Donnie called last night and he has to work today but he

said he would come up after work to put up my new birdhouse. :-)
I had to call some DIG place to make sure there are no gas lines

or what ever that he could damage when he puts the pole in the

ground.. He remembers a friend that was using a back hoe and no

one called the dig place to find buried gaslines or cable..Well that

scooper hit a gas line and the driver was hurt pretty bad.. the back

hoe was destroyed when that line exploded...So Donnie is super

careful when he puts stuff in the ground.. I have flags all over the

yard out there.. :-) They came right away which was most Im-

pressive... I wouldn't think just a pole for a birdhouse would need

to go that deep but.. well best NOT to take chances.. I hope he

will clean off the grass from that slab of cement while hes out

there :-) He said he would pick up some sand for the new bird

bath.. I hope he doesn't forget and I hope hes not real late.. I

tend to slow WAY down in the afternoon.. :-)

With all that said I'm gonna post this and make a roast beef

and Swiss sandwich for my lunch.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

is a tad hungry... and that sounds good.. Penny picked up some

roast beef at the store yesterday.. Time to post.. but remember..

I shall return !! :-)

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
