Birds and Beasties

I snapped the above bird at a turnpike rest stop. I parked under a tree and made Buster get out to stretch his legs so I had some time.

Bebo, Mango, and Kiki are the kid's birds. They are a hoot. Sometimes they hoot a little too much. Bebo wolf whistles. They are living on the patio when the weather is nice. Lori left the cage open and they flew the coop - for a little while. They know they have it good. A flock of parakeets comes to visit. They had a brood of 14 ducks this spring. Several are still swimming the canal for the entertainment of all.

Honey giving Juneau a kiss. They are almost a pair in color and size. Buster stirred his stumps for a night-long snuggle last night. I'll take what I can get of those.

Jason made a hammock out of a dish towel and all three birds pile in. Lori thinks they play doctor in there. She should know. She has to bathe them.

I was early to bed last night and early to rise. The days have been beautiful but my zone of comfort is from eyes open until 10:30. Then it is time to be under the air conditioning until about 4:00 p.m. But between outdoor and indoor chores, that works out just fine. No air conditioning tonight- a right nice rain storm, coach fans and screen door only. Rain on the roof. Nice.

I called Mike at Coastal RV Repair. For the second time in a row he has sounded like he has been drinking. I am looking for an alternative fixer. He will show tomorrow I think. He is better than nothing but not much better. He is very nice though. Maybe I'll give Richard Whitecloud a call.

I haven't done a stocking up grocery shop yet so I went to a Chinese buffet for dinner. Incredible variety and well-prepared. I am going to gird my loins for a major Wal-Mart expedition. I paid good attention to prices at home. Publix has good stuff but is so high. Wal Mart here is zooey- 7 or 8 people in a line is usual. I gave a lot of my canned goods to Lisa in April. They don't improve in hot weather and she supports her daughter and a grandchild. I'm not sure what her hubby does for a living.

My new Droid will arrive tomorrow. Sometimes righteous hissy fits do work. Won't be refurbished, either.
