got access to a bucket truck?just kidding. Move to a new farm.
Family,Sitting out this am in chair by front door enjoying the sun. Bird was on power line singing its song. Looked bigger like a meadowlark, but could not tell. I noticed the seasonal red winged black birds have arrived. They actually have a red patch followed by a smaller yellow colored patch on each wing front. We had about 35 robins spend the winter - not sure what they were eating, likely some dried berries. They I saw a big bird of prey sitting on top the grain bin. Had to get my expensive pair of really good Harbor Freight binoculars out - open up the box and unpack them. Wow, beautiful sight ! I was a large hawk, redish specled in color watching all below. Farm kitty was near by so I was on alert. I looked back at the singing bird, it was indeed a yellow breasted meadowlark singing. After a while the hawk took flight and glided North. Think he's the same hawk that has hung around the farm all winter.I've started fertilizing the grass. Bucket at a time out of the red barn. Got a "Chrysler Imperial" fragrant rose from Orshelans, planted it outside the bay window (with lots of red barn fertilizer). Have a lot of bulb flowers planted in the garden in OP to move out to the farm later this summer.Attended a funeral yesterday - husband of a cousinToday - installation of a new farm cam system.Colby has their "Home Improvement" show going on at the community building, where I use to play basketball. Place seemed smaller. I went in and check things out before it officially opened. Mostly a yawner.Need to sharpen mower blades here. Last time I was not able to break loose the nuts. Need an extended handle to get more leverage.May burn some coral weeds since it is wet yet, and little wind.Dad
Watched her ascend to the high rafters. Up side of barn to low rafters, then very athletic leaf 5' up and over to high rafters. She was very growly - wanted to be there and not messed with. So she will be here for the day. Well fed this am.
