            Good morning at least I think it is, I was able to get out of bed and that is good for me. It is still dark outside but it isn’t cold.

The weather was very nice yesterday so we sat outside for a while. It was quiet for most of the time as we relaxed on the ole swing until the noise began. They have a rocket test site about 10 miles away and they fired off one of the rockets. If you do not live in this area, you do not know how noisy these tests are. The rocket was blasting for about half a minute. The wind was from the right direction and the sound of the blasting was crazy loud. When it stopped the train starts honking its horn as it came through town, yep more noise trying to keep us ole people from relaxing. When the train stopped making noise, then a low flying plane with a loud motor flew over. I guess ole people never get a break.

 

Outside work yesterday: I did get the string trimmer out and trimmed the blocks around the Jasmin beds yesterday. We still have plenty of weeds that need to be trimmed in the back 40 and some other work for our yard man Alex.

 

I did install three of the scrap wood bird houses yesterday, two in one tree and one in the other tree. I just tried to count the number of bird houses we have hanging in trees and elsewhere, elsewhere is the front porch, and I came up with 16 that I know, of if my ole brain is still working.

 

Different topic: I have been going through some ole files looking for things I have written. Some are stories and some are just thoughts I had. When I find them, I have been printing them and putting them in folders. I am at times amazed at what I see, (did I write that) but I do enjoy reading things I have written.

 

Well today I am back on schedule for getting the grandkids to school in a timely manner and hopefully safe. I have no big plans for the day, we will see how the day goes. The weather being warm I may be allowed to go outside and make a mess.

 

            I guess I should stop for now, we hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do.

 

Noise at rest time.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
