Among Friends

@Bird mama 

Bernie.    I am so sorry to read about the baby birds you found on your back patio.   I know young ones fall out of the nest now and then but a bird house is kind of different.   I am really glad one of the little ones was still in there and that the parents are tending to it.   A silver lining!!   

It is still warm and quite humid at this time of night.   I didn't get the back yard cut today,  though I did go outside with the keys.  I just didn't want to do it,  hoping for rain to knock down any dust etc.  I usually wash the tractor down after cutting and it was just too hot and humid though cloudy almost all day. 

 The sky's cleared after supper and I was 'bad'.   Got in the car and drove to Baskini Robbins for a double dip of Pralines and Cream ice cream in a sugar cone.   I hadn't had one of those treats in years.   Only drive through and a bit of a wait, but it was so GOOD!!!    That is my favorite ice cream along with vanilla.     Also stopped at the doughnut shop for their Monday special so I'll have a cake doughnut with my coffee in the morning.   

Beautiful sunsets here in our area tonight.   One picture below taken at a park in South St. Louis city,  Tower Grove Water tower is the tall thingy.  One of only 3 water towers left in St. Louis,

The 3 remaining historical water towers in St. Louis.   All different styles and all very special.   My favorite is the first one,  The Comton Avenue Water Tower in Tower Grove Park.   The other two are in the north part of the city.

Luvs, I agree it would be super good if we could get Jody back - but I doubt it.

Her husband Tom passed away several years back. She has been living - and continues to do so - in an assisted living facility. She is active every single day - sometimes more than once on FB You can find her there - JoAnne Clarkson. Every day she posts pictures of her sky - often at least twice a day. That North Carolina sky is still as gorgeous as it was when I grew up there.Have not found anyone yet to help but I need to. I had called Davey and he said I had to wait until last night to know if he could do it. I figured he gets his orders from Dad now -  do not know but he never called me. It is so unsettling. I will get it all figured out - I just move horribly slow these days.

Am sitting here waiting for a call from our local nursery - trying to find out what is happening to yet another fruitless Mulberry. Tree. Everything these days you just wait and wait and wait. Have the phone number of a beautician to see if she can start doing my horrible hair.  Will call her later. The gal who was doing it - I knew she was trying to dump me before she said I should not come back  as she did not want me to have any problems. I never had any trouble there or getting there. Her clues were one time she very disgustingly told me I was the ONLY customer she had to give a perm to and also use rollers. What can I say. Then next time I went she was already doing someone. Said to me she had just gotten off to a slow start - do not think so. I had 3 people doing my hair that morning - as she continued with the other person. Both visits had signaled to me she was going to dump me and then they closed all the shops.I knew her Mother well and she has been doing my hair for at least 10 years. Brenda did it for almost 30 years but she passed away - I have missed her so very much. Such is life at times.

Need to go and move a bit and wait for the call about the Tree.

Have a good day everyone

Look who is in my wreath!   Does anyone have an idea what kind of bird this is?  There were 6 blue eggs and they all hatched.  The day after I took this photo, this little guy left the nest. I am no expert, but think its a sparrow.
