To-day I will be Happier than a Bird with a French Fry

 What a great day beginning!--no sun, but a light misty rain and quite warm . Lopez and I have hoofed it on the back road---AND--he did his business!-- He seems to be calming down somewhat the past few days. Beau has been out--Sushi fed-and the best part, Himself seems happy and normal--He answered the phone this AM with the new telephone in the kitchen that boosts the sound for him -(Daughter sent it)- It scares the liver out of me (Mom's expression!)--when it rings  as it is VERY loud! ---

The world is unfolding the way it should so far this morning --and that is good!

CBC radio has a birder  man on  and I can hear him talking about Hummingbirds-- He said the larger ones are the males, and they leave first--  Before migrating they eat lots of sugar--double their weight- - They eventually have the long flight across the Gulf of Mexico. The females stay  to raise the young ones-- and  the last ones to leave are the wee babies--- I suppose the "stragglers" that I had before bringing in the feeders were probably the babies . He also said , they don't need to be taught --or shown the route South--that it is just natural to them--  He said that geese have to be shown their route--  how exciting the world is, isn't it?? There is so much to learn isn't there?

I have been sorting out clothing that  are too large---lots of sweaters etc that looks like dresses--It makes me wonder why on earth I had so many outfits?-I will  only have a few  when this is finished--which is good--A pair of jeans go a long way---which one wears around the house.-- I remember Mom wearing "house dresses"- everyday--They were long baggy cotton dresses which she ordered from the Sears catalogue every Spring- Did any of you save old catalogues?--  I have a few Sears catalogues and Eaton catalogues also. Remember how they used to take anything back? -and there was furniture-tools, appliances-wedding dresses -EVERYTHING in the catalogue--AND THEY DELIVERED--  That was what we called, "the olden days"-

The world has changed--We have adapted--Queen Elizabeth has passed---  I must tell  yu all, that I ordered a new  cardboard replica  of the Queen-- so--I will have 2- It makes me laugh as I put them in different places in the house, and it does kinda set one back when one goes into a room and bumps into the Queen-- I always say, "Oh Good day your highness"---and I curtsy-

Remember that each morning , we are born again-We choose to be happy----or not---To-day I hope that you are happy!

-so-until to-morrow--huge hugs- I am thinking aboutchu-Lynda
