Savoring the Modal Moment

This robin often perches on a wire not far from the kitchen window. Just sits there. Holding food in its mouth. Waiting....

Thought I'd better post something before I forget how, ha ha. In the meantime, silly, "why are you doing this to me!" Blogger is trying to confound my communication by keeping me in small, caption mode print. But tricksy Ma has outsmarted it (I hope) by going to html....oh, I--guess--not.

Well anyways, I am still alive, as are Loren and the four offspring currently in residence.

 Carolyn and Ethan are busy with detasseling. They have worked four days, with one day off. Less fields this year and they've even returned home early (before or by 2pm) a couple of days. But that doesn't mean they can rest. Well, not Ethan, anyway. He goes right into "working on the house" mode, with Loren. I think he sleeps well at night :-D

Today Trevor chose to stay at home and play fetchem with his dad, while I took Nolan to the courthouse gardens. Wanted to get in a few more service hours for Master Gardening. Nolan helped a bit (as much as I required) and then alternately wandered in the (very) small park with the binoculars, or sat in the car and read.

Had a picnic lunch ("don't say I never took you out for a picnic, Nolan!") followed by more work and then a nutritious candy bar and pop (that would be "soda" for people in the east and Texas) from Casey's.

Came home and had a wee rest, followed by trimming approximately 2/3 from one of my monster Rugosa Rose bushes. Only 3 more to go, one of which is small.

Well, that wraps up another scintillating post. Here's hoping Blogger can get its act together before long. I liked them a lot better (as well as writing) a few years ago.
