I have found out that living in the country that work never ends unless you are going to bed. 

I have gardens to weed, flowers to see to, flower beds to still clean. It is a cool day here today...thank goodness....we have had some really hot ones up in the 90's and you really do not want to be moving around outside in it. Finished planting my gladiolus bulbs yesterday along with the peonies I had bought at the end of the trailer.

Yesterday I released a little nelson long tail sparrow that I had been feeding as it had lost its mom. And the silly thing does not know that it is a wild bird. It is hanging around outside at different times of the day to see what is going on and to call to me. I go out and shoo it off but it keeps coming back. 

You know and maybe some of you already know this~~~~that rose bushes and blackberry bushes jump out to nail you with their thorns. No lie I get close to them and they nail me. And not just me but my brother also. 

I have to laugh. He is not an animal person but he has a very spoilt  cat named Spooky. 


This is Spooky in the bathroom sink. I will have to upload pics to my computer as for Easter they dyed her with food coloring to look like a giant moving easter egg....was so cute. Course my sister in law did it in the bathroom and then she told me what a mess she had to clean off the walls and all. And my comment to her was ~~~ why not do it in the shower! 

When he comes over it is very seldom he comes in as he is not a bird person and he can not handle them screaming because they know someone is here and they can not see who it is. They have to wait until all my work is done before they can get out in the front of the house. God forbid that you leave them unattended. They think their main goal in life is to remodel their environment around them. They have their own room which is nice I can put them to bed and close the door and I can still be able to do other stuff. Let's get real here I sleep very badly and that has not changed at all. So I may or may not go to bed early. And I have not adjusted to what Ritchie calls country hours. He thinks I am wasting part of the day~~~I may be but again I have never been a morning person in my life, and on nights I can not sleep if I do get to sleep I sleep a little later. Birdie has always been my alarm clock and I think he has his times mixed up. Because of sounding the alarm at 7 am he is now waiting to 8 or 8:30 to sound it. 

The parrots are still adjusting to country life....they see horses, cats, chickens, dogs, and outside birds. They think it is their job to sound the alarm that there is intruders outside. I keep telling them I am going to invent a birdie muzzle for them that the stuff outside is suppose to be there. 

I love this trailer (sort of lol it still has some work to be done on the inside) because in the front of the house in the living room I have windows on each side and windows on the end of it. They let in alot of light. Also lot of windows throughout the trailer lets in tons of light. Anyone who battles with depression or any type of mental illness can tell you that the less light you have the more and worse the depression phase hits you. The more light helps combat it. Plus it makes it nice to be able to sew and quilt with it. Also in the living room not only the windows let in lot of light but my front door also. It is an antique door that has the skeleton key to it, it has 15 individual panes of glass ( which is a pain to clean too!!!)   

I guess I need to go as I have stuff to do!
