            Good morning to all, we hope your day is starting off in a good manner.

            We did very little yesterday here at the Ford’s house, my favorite wife did cook a small meal for just the two of us and it was good, yes, I did wash the dishes after eating. We did sit out on the front porch for a while yesterday afternoon, the weather was nice, and the neighborhood was quiet except for the birds. Where we were sitting on the porch, there is a bird residence hanging (aka bird house) and we know there are baby birds in the house because we could hear the chirping. Both mom and dad birds were not happy with us sitting that close to the residence and they made a lot of noise. After a while the father bird would bring food to the baby birds in the house trusting that we would not bother him.

            When we came back inside, I noted that I needed to finish my bible study homework. It took a while, but I did finish it and then I went out into the garage and worked on the little scrap wood crosses. There is nothing fancy about them, but I like trying to make them.

            Later in the afternoon since there was nothing that we want to see on the TV, we went outside again, this time to the swing set on the driveway and relaxed.

            This morning early; as usual, Tres and I went out front so he could look the front yard over. He has a tendency of finding some grass growing in the Jasmin beds and he eats it. I guess it is good for his belly, but that isn’t why I am commenting on going out front each morning. For the last couple weeks there has been a bright star or planet in the eastern sky. Over the last few weeks, I have noticed this star or planet increasing in height and it is so bright that it is easily seen when the sky is bright just before sun rise. I did get a photo but it is too difficult to see it on the photo so I will not post it. I do have a photo of some clouds that appeared to me as a “V” in the sky. Yep, clouds sometimes are interesting to me.

            I will attempt to stop for now, I need to get the Yard man Alex over here to do our yard work today, yes, they are out of school today. We hope you all have a very good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

Pope Francis passed.

Senior ole person who will take the Alex to the star coffee place this morning, Don the Ford

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