Hungry Bird-May 7, 2015

Yesterday was a very rainy day. When we got up we were greeted by a very happy and hungry robin sitting on our deck railing. He had just picked up a swimming worm in all the running and standing water created by a night of rain.

He sat there and held that worm for a very long time before

he proceeded to enjoy his fresh breakfast. I always feel sorry

for birds who appear to be soaking wet. I know they are not,

but they look so uncomfortable when it is raining hard.

 

When the rain let up a bit we drove to Derrick's and tried to do some more work on the coach. We are to the point of turning all of the water back on. Then we heard the weather forecast for Mother's Day and changed our minds. As it is predicted right now we are to have snow on Sunday morning and a low of 29 degrees. So, we will wait until next week to turn the water back on in the coach.

 

Hannah came running out of the house and yelled, "Grammy, play hide seek with me". So we did just that. I grew up calling it hide and go seek, but she does not do that. She is getting much better at hiding so we have to do the same. We absolutely love to hear her giggle when she finds one of us. It's joy to the soul.

 

We are going to a Mother's Day brunch on Sunday morning. We generally avoid crowds for special days like that, but if Derrick wants to go, we will do just that.
