I was wrong about momma Phoebe bird she is on her nest. I'm trying not to disturb her to much. She does not seam to be bothered when we open and close the door or if we sit on the other side of the deck. So I will leave her alone in this time of incubation. As for the play I auditioned for, not going to happen. I guess this town is to busy to bother with that sort of thing during the summer. In this town people live here and work here but would rather spend time somewhere else in their free time. No one wants to invest in this town unless it involves drinking. Oh well enough about how boring this place is. The wood ticks are still out in force. Last weekend I had two on me. One I found right away the other I found the next day just attached to my neck. It was a regular wood tick and not the one that carries Lyme. Yesterday me and the girls went up the family cabin where my parents and brother were staying for the weekend. I didn't get one but my dad had about five of them on hi...

I was going to write this last weekend but I was kind of busy with other things. The update on the Phoebe bird is I think she changed her mind about living there once she had the nest complete. She saw how much we open and close the patio door and decided to go somewhere else. There are a number of different birds that have nests on our land. Like two robins have built nests. One in the shed we store most of our hay and and other has one on a door on the barn. Other birds have built nest on our little chicken coop. One on each side. Speaking of chickens we now have twelve baby chickens and three baby turkeys. They are little over a week old or so. They do have a lot of feathers already. Right now the chickens are bigger then the turkeys. I wonder how long it will be before they are bigger. It will awhile before we will get fresh eggs or know how many are hens and how many are roosters. I recently auditioned for the next play we are putting on. I'm not sure if I got the part yet ...

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...
