Same Old Things & Our Birds

Well, we received more hand-me down cloths this past week, mostly for Jo but there were a few shirts that we could pass along to Cole too. Jo feels very special at times opening sacks of cloths all that she can wear. At times it’s like she gets to empty out her drawers and start with a whole new wardrobe. This dress & tights set were just received and she just loooooves them. She came right up to me and asked if I would take her picture with her pretty dress on. Who could say no?

We have been very fortunate with the kid’s clothes with family and friends passing along their used goods. The good fortune is shared by us passing along the twin’s cloths as well, and I have heard that the clothing chain continues after us. So a big THANKS to all those who have helped dress the twins through the years.

Cole spent the other day trying on pants at many stores. He was a very good sport about the whole thing and maybe because he knew he would be going home with some new duds for himself. Some times he doesn’t look like he is growing at all but then the weather started turning a little chilly and out came the pants…well…he was looking like he could wade through the flood waters. All but one pair of pants were a couple inches off his feet. Ha…Ha…guess the Little Man has grown some over the summer. He is happy today wearing a new pair of jeans with a cool looking chain that hangs from his belt loops. Oh, and a pair of camouflage pants just like his friend Mason wears was purchased as well. Happy Guy.
We have been enjoying the birds in our front yard. A couple feeders, birdbath, and a few bird houses line the front flowerbed. We had a large flock land on the bath to frolic in the water and darn near emptid it. It was neat to watch so many at once trying to bathe. We have some sort of bird activity all day long so it’s nice to some times just sit and watch. Though there are some days I feel we just provide a sporting event for one of our neighbor cats. I have tried three different cat repellents to keep her away and once I even managed to spray her fir, she just come back and laid right in the middle of all the stink and or blood stuff. I think she is under there sniffing it and getting high myself. The challenge has been set…can I win is the question?!
