            Good morning to you as we see the sun coming up. The time change means it is brighter outside earlier in the morning.

            I have a couple comments from yesterday and some photos. Allow me to start off with a photo of something that I made. No, it is not a bird house that comes later. This item, like many items I have made, comes from left over wood. It has been a bunch of years since I made this set of dominos.

            In the photo we see the set of dominos and the wood box that I had made probably 15 years ago. I have a couple out of the box so you can see there are two layers in the box. This is a one-of-a-kind item, handmade by Don the Ford and probably worth thousands of dollars, or not. An item like this is something you make for the fun of it, as it takes time and effort.

            Yesterday we went to the cracker store for lunch and upon returning home I did very little as my favorite wife went through a bunch of clothes that she no longer wears. As for me, after a rest period and that rest period was not a nap as I was not sleepy, I then decided to go to the garage and put together the rest of the bird houses.

Speaking of bird houses, we have a couple hanging on the car port that were in the pecan tree that we cut down. These houses have nest in them and there have been birds using them, I assume they are getting ready for winter.

I did get the other 5 bird houses put together and I think there are now 9 bird houses hanging on the carport, photo to follow.

            Yesterday afternoon we were able to sit outside as the weather was very nice. The neighbor's grandkids came over and the girl had made a drawing for us. She had it wrapped in a plastic bag, and it was tape shut. I have a photo. 

I asked if it was a school project and she said no she did it at home and she did it for both of us. I think she is going to be an artist. Jaelyn is her name, and I guess she is 10 years old. Her and her little brother come over and visit with us sometimes as we sit outside.

Different subject, I did get a photo of what was almost a full moon coming up.

            I know everyone has seen the moon but I find it interesting when they are in the sky while the sun is still in the sky.

            Today I need to take the truck to the dealer for some repair. We do have bible study this evening and other than that no big plans. I will stop for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

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