Among Friends

[Bird mama]

Welcome Friends old and new to the Bird's Nest.

Among the trees is a bird's nest,

and in the nest her three eggs rest,

and in each egg, Hush, you'll be heard!

There lies asleep A tiny bird.

@viva923   My sister just had her tire repaired on Wednesday (day before Thanksgiving).  What started out as a slow leak picked up in speed - they pulled a nail out of the tire and patched it.

@Snicks1   I'm glad that you had fun wrapping gifts with your daughter.  She's on the road so much I can see why she goes all out for the Christmas holiday.  We got a dusting of snow yesterday that hung around for the better part of the day.  I love snow, lol.

@geezerette  My thanksgiving was quiet too.  My sister expressed a preference to stay home on the day so I met her at the Discount Tire near my house on Wednesday and we swapped food bags.  She made meatloaf and cheesy potatoes and I gave her a sweet potato pie (no I did not bake it), King's hawaiin rolls and some of her favorite candy. 

I'm so sorry that your sister landed up in the hospital with pneumonia.  My sister and I were just talking about the rising cases of walking pneumonia across the nation. 

All you can do for your friend is be there for her.  If she was already having issues/worries about her husband I can see why losing the dog did her in.  This is probably going to sound lousy - I've grieved harder for the animals that shared my life than some people who have died.

No, not lousy at all.

Hello all, yep, it's December, lol. Got about 4" of snow on my upper level deck, I swept a pathway through to get the birds and squirrels fed this morning, they were very hungry. The birds have already cleaned up all the food I put out and the squirrels must be sleeping in, I'll have to put more out when they show up. If the food isn't there, they'll be looking in the glass doors for it, lol.
Last night, my nurse daughter, SIL and their 3 adult children (my grands) all played a game together on our phone, just had to download an app for it. But, I have an android phone and I think they all have I-phones, my phone didn't work very well. I had no sound, so I couldn't hear them talking, they didn't know I couldn't hear, so it was kind of a mess, lol. Still it was nice to connect, sort of.

@Bird mama 

Thanks for starting us out on the new month.  December already!  And soon time for all the end-of-year chores, like taxes.☹️

@Snicks1 

When we get snow or ice, the squirrels around here never come out until it's starting to melt.

Your phone game sounds a lot like some of my family Zoom visits! 😄
