We hope you had a nice safe holiday, we did! Here at the Ford Homestead we celebrated by doing as little as possible. I took several well deserved naps, as I pretended to watch some TV, even though there was not much of anything I wanted to see.
Tres continued to aggravate and be under foot. Occasionally, he was nice and would get in the chair with Donna or me to rest. I should have sucked my gut in before she took the photo!
We had an inch of rain the other day and it was on top the cover of the pool. I thought I would drain the rain water off this morning but I did not get the chance. When I took Tres out for his 3:00am potty break, I observed that the wind had cause the cover to come loose and the rain water was now in the pool. The only bad part to that is, any dirt and leaves that were on the cover, were now in the pool.
It so happened that I had planned to add water to the pool prior to the grand kid’s next swim. I don’t need to do that now, nature (the man above) once again took care of me! I did need to remove a few leaves and bugs from the pool with the net and I checked the chlorine. The chlorine was at a mid-point. I turned the pump on and added some chlorine since the pool would be uncovered all day today. An uncovered pool loses chlorine quicker than a covered pool.
Slightly different subject: as I walked this morning there was a Mockingbird atop a light pole singing to me. As we know they can make just about any bird sound. This particular bird was singing to me and it sounded as if he were saying, “Sweet”, over and over. It made me happy that the bird recognized that I was sweet! As I continued to walk, I also thought of the cuckoo clock in the Ford Homestead, which I believe says, “Papaw instead of Cuckoo”. Why do the clocks and birds always honor me? J
May you be honored as often as I am!
