Woke up to a cold but sunny day and NO WIND! Decided I would take my Morning walk...I walked over across the main street to this Pond area, booming with all types of fowl.
I came across this guy - standing on the path and he wouldn't move.
I was able to get close to him.
Finally, he left...skimming the pond water as he flew off.
This is why Mr. Mallard wouldn't move - She was near him to the side.
This pond used to be part of a cattle ranch - years ago.
Now they have built houses around it and for many years, this pond was dry due to the drought.
There still is a working ranch across the pond.
It was so quiet - except for the various sounds of bird life.
Across the pond there was a huge flock of turkeys - I didn't get a chance to get their picture. We could sure hear them though.
Nice view of Shasta Bally
Today's agenda:
I have my Tuesday meeting at noon.
There is an item I want to purchase that I need to check out.
And then the usual keeping up the house and the laundry.
Right now my husband is outside working on the Library house
which is going to look like a little church.
Just getting ideas.
He wants to keep it stocked with Christian books for the most part. We'll see - It should be interesting.
We inherited so many books from Margie - we can keep it stocked quite well.
We talked about the household projects that need to be done - maintenance stuff.
- Paint the picket fence
- Paint the trim on the house
- paver patio in the front yard under the window
- continue the paver patio in the back yard to slowly eliminate a good portion of the lawn.
- The back fence where we now have a cash envelope we are putting money.
That's just the outside. Not too bad. There is always something to do when you live in a house. Navy is finding that out as he has owned his home going on for 3 years. Last I heard, they had to put in a whole new sprinkler system. The city made them because they had a leak and one month they spent $300 in water due to a leak they could not find. That's home ownership!
Have a great Day
