Steam bath

I got the bird bath up on Sunday. Got it on sale and found the bolts and screws were missing. I took it to Lowe's and found a bolt, got a couple of screws from the garage.... up it went. But does it work? So they instructions say it has an automatic thermostat. I put water in on Sunday and it didn't seem very warm. Monday...still not very warm. Well this morning I look out the front door and there was steam above the bird bath. IT WORKS! Then I saw a bird drinking water. Ah! I went and felt the water and it is still sorta cool...warmer than the air. It's perfect. The birds like it and no bird soup.

My work car didn't start this morning, battery is dead and I don't know why. I took my own car to Holland. I tried to jump it tonight but have to charge the charger more. Got the lights to turn on. I'll try again in the morning. Talked to human resources today. They will send me a form so I can send them a death certificate. I still have a lot to do. Thinking we'll get Dave's ashes in his niche Thanksgiving weekend. Nieces and nephews can be here. It's the final step. I remember when our first dog Sadie died and we had her cremated and kept her ashes in the living room. After about 6 months Dave came to me and said "I can't stand it anymore, Sadie wants to be buried and I can't look at her anymore". We put her in the back yard in the spot she always went to when the sun was out. Buried her with a full unopened bottle of Bell's beer. She use to love beer. He was right. She needed a resting place. We'll get you to your place soon Dave. love you

peace, love, groove

  1. I bought 5 40 pound bags of feed. I go through 20 a winter. The birds show up just before the snow and it was last Saturday they arrived. I remember the beer and Sadie. Resting places & the living need rest too!
