Catching Up

 I had a very full day yesterday many tasks were on my list.  Laundry...cleaning bathrooms and general pick up and put away.   I visited my Mom in the afternoon, she is doing better and should get out of the hospital on Monday...at least that is the plan.

We got 1/2 inch of rain on Friday night so I am behind on my lawn mowing duties. I will catch up one of these days.  Our weather is much cooler than it was!

I have Red Winged Blackbirds too. Their call is really shrill—ear piercing.

Nice photo of the black bird.

Yes, glad to hear your mom is doing better. I hope she gets to come home Monday. She will be glad to be home.
The cooler weather yesterday was just wonderful! Supposed to be the same today and then back to the 80s. I am loving having the place opened up for a while! :)

Continued prayers for your Mom. When I see or hear Red Winged Blackbirds and Meadowlarks,I know Spring has arrived. It’s rained every afternoon for the last week, but I can’t complain - the moisture is needed.

Good to hear that your Mom is on the mend. And, that it's a bit cooler out your way. Thanks for identifying the Aquatic Weed Harvester!

I'm happy to hear your mom has improved.
I can hear that red winged blackbird singing in my mind! I love their song.

Wonderful news for your Mom. I'll continue to be in prayer for her and all of you. We know it's not easy, especially when they are sick.
We have much cooler weather today but it will warm up again over the next couple of days. But for now, the windows are open and we're enjoying it.
Blessings,
Betsy

We had 1/10th of an inch but that is better than nothing at all.
I caught up on lots of things today and not one of them was rest!

Glad your Mom is doing better. Hope she does make it out of hospital on Monday.

Sounds like you caught up on a lot of things.

Sometimes just keeping your head above water is a challenge.

This is the first year that we have noticed red winged blackbirds and there are a ton of them around! Glad to hear that your mom will be going home soon.

I'm envious of the rain you've gotten - we're hoping for some tomorrow here in northern Virginia. I'm also envious of the Red Winged Blackbird. We usually have them around, and I've not seen any this year. I wonder where they are?

I hope your Mom comes home as planned!! ❤❤

Good news for mom!

It rained. I'm not sure how much, but it is our first rain in between 21-30 days depending on which weather person I am listening to.

Leah said...

Happy to hear that she is doing better ~ maybe we will see her sometime soon!

Jenn Jilks said...

Good luck with your mother! We needed rain, as well!

I miss red wing blackbirds. They're here but just not where I live.
