Up at 5am. I am a morning person, established when I worked full time. I was called to work this afternoon for what the teacher posted as 2 hours. I wasn't going to drive 20 miles one way for 2 hours.

 

The birds have discovered the feeder and emptied it in two days, so I filled it again yesterday. Small birds are frequenting it so they are dropping the larger pieces. As a result, I am ordering the same brand but feed that doesn't have the larger pieces.

I've been enjoying the spooky old movies that are being aired on TV (antenna).  I'm talking the black and white versions of The Canterville Ghost, House on Haunted Hill, Haunting, etc.  I love October for this reason alone Heart

@Bird mama   I have been having AMC and SYFY horror shows on as I putter around the house, and I also love October horror shows.  I have a ton of DVDs, so am all set.  Have you ever seen some of the Wrong Turn movies, always wonder what sick mind created these, riveting, and as horrifying as can be.  I watched Wrong Turn 2, which I have seen before, and Wrong Turn 4, both on SYFY.

 

I watched a movie on AMC yesterday called Last House on the Left, great with great acting.  It is not a horror movie as we have been talking about, but it is horror in one family's life.  I bought the DVD after watching it as I know I will watch it again, even though I was tense while watching it.

 

I grew up on the old black and white horror movies, the Mummy, The Wolfman, etc., etc., but one of my favorites, though not horrifying, is Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, so funny, lol.

 

SHOOT, I think a bird just hit my window as I was typing, a big thump on the window, and hopefully if so, it is just stunned.  This rarely happens, but has before.

The weather is pretty today, sunny, light breeze and currently 73 degrees.  My sister has been painting her kitchen cabinets, etc and she took the cabinet doors off to paint them.

 

You know how that is, getting them off and removing the hinges to clean them up is easy.  Putting them back up and trying to hold the cabinet door while tightening the scr3ws on the hinges is something you need more than 2 hands for - you don't want to scar or scrape your fresh paint.

 

I think she's gonna work on that this weekend so I made sure that I got my yardwork done today while the weather was nice.  Grass didn't grow much in the 3 weeks since I last mowed.

 

I'm currently watching this movie on tv
