• Robins, Work and Stuff

  You know that Spring is coming when you see a flock of Robins arriving and landing in your yard. It is nice to see them back, actually they flew in yesterday morning. I was sitting here at the computer and watched them land and listened to their beautiful singing. I had a boss one time that would always try and see the first robin. He always saw the first one , no matter how hard I tried to see one first. Every year now when I see one I remember him and just have to smile to myself, he has since gone on to heaven .

  Work is just that work.Paychecks didn't come in on Friday as they should have and they aren't sure at this point when they are going to be able to pay us. Maybe the 16th, but not sure. I am thankful that we do have a savings account and that my Knight takes good care of me. I am just hoping that the paychecks come in soon.

    Pets can be and are such a blessing, however they can also be trouble. We aren't quite sure how it happened that one of the bird cages fell off the table that they are on, but it did. It could have been one of the three cats or was it my parrot just getting bored. Anyway the cage had seven finches in it. Matthew and I had to find and catch them. This was much easier said than done. Finches are a very small bird and they fly fast. We did find and catch all of them by bedtime,  however we had to put them in another cage. The cockatiels now have new roommates.....the finches. I would buy a new cage, however there is the issue of the paycheck as mentioned earlier.  And speaking of cats there are two of them who have taken up residence under the our trailer. Which makes the indoor cats unhappy. They are taking off the register covers at night to get to these intruders and defend their home. However if you have ever walked around in the dark you know how hard it can be to see where you are walking. So far no one has stepped into the register , but I think that it could happen. I have also put something on each of them so to make it harder for the cats.

    My car is in the shop today.... not to worry only for the basics, oil change, tire rotation and to get the gas cover so that it will open so that I can put gas in. Yes, I did say gas cover, it is getting stuck on something inside and it is a two person job to open it....one to pull the lever and one to jiggle the gas cover. Life is fun here what can I say....just laugh, that is what I do.
