Phoebe Bird

It's Saturday morning and I'm a little sore. Why do you ask? I spent yesterday weeding out a patch of strawberries we planted last year. I'm sorry to say last year I did not take very good care of it. But this year will be different. I hope. The reason I was able to spend yesterday doing that is because I didn't have to work. It was voluntary and I was not needed. I did get a little bit of a sun burn on part of my arms and my hand is a little sore from holding the digger I had to loosen the soil.
I know that was boring. The only other thing that is happening here is that a bird is trying to build a nest under the eves of the deck. I think it is an Eastern Phoebe. I'm hoping it will change it's mind when it relies how much we open the door or spend time on the deck when it's nice outside.
I was just trying to take a picture of the bird working on it's nest. I tried to edit but it did not work so I just posted as is. If you can't tell where it is it's the lump by the one rafter. I will keep trying to get better pictures whenever I can and show you how it's going. I'm still hoping she will change her mind because I fear that if she does not we will chased off the deck till the babies hatch and are grown up enough to fly away. But if she does not change her mind the cats will be dreaming of a bird lunch they can never have.

I decided to video her working on the nest. I think I need a better camera with higher zoom.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
