What a mess we got goin on here anyway…stuff is all goofy and it makes my tummy hurt!
Mamaw’s been plantin flowers—she was so anxious for spring—and now most of the basement is full of plants she can’t put outside with all of this rain! Weatherman says we’ve had more than 5 inches…I wait just as long as I can to go outside to do my business. I gotta get some smells under my belt before I go and I get all wet! Mamaw drives a hard bargain, she won’t undo my leash until I wait for her to dry my feet. Then she rubs that darned towel back and forth over my back till I can barely stand it! If anybody can get this rain to stop, I’d sure appreciate it a whole bunch.
We saw a wren coming and going from one of Mamaw’s hanging artificial planter, so she looked…AND LOOKED AGAIN…then she took the planter down and brought it in the house. You will never believe what we found in there! The wren was a MAMA and she made a really swell nest in there. She found 2 eggs in there! Mamaw said she had to take a couple of photos; which she did, and then she took it right back outside and hung the planter back up on the house.
Then she said, “Mama wren—I just can’t be a part of aborting your children, so you can have them here and teach them to fly from the nest but one thing I’m not going to do is put a bird bath up for you.”
The storms the last couple of days was a scary thing for me. I stayed as close to Mamaw as possible so she would be of comfort to me. And when Mamaw and Poppy go to bed, I jump up with them and insist on getting between em so I feel protected. The thunder and lightning has been really bad. Last night she closed both of the blinds in the bedroom so I could relax.
Did I tell ya Mamaw is taking a class? It's the college for old people and it's only 1 day a week, but she's enjoyin it. The class is France at a Glance, and her instructor asked her to give a little talk on Monday so she's been givin lots of attention to gettin that ready to go.
Nough said for now…happy high-five day!
