Saturday, April 30, 2011-Beautiful Day!

We finally had a beautiful spring day! Clear blue skies and in the 50's. Perfect. But I didn't like what I saw out my window today. There were guys up in the back woods cutting down trees. I saw three huge trees fall. I feel so bad for the baby critters and birds that were in those trees. I think a house is being built up there. The poor squirrels were all crying and the birds were having a fit all morning while they were up there. They could have waited just a few more weeks. By then the babies would have been big enough maybe. I sure hope the fox den wasn't in there. Some people don't care one bit about animals and they will kill them for fun. So that part of my day was sad.
I did see the one baby squirrel later in the day so at least he is still okay. The tree he lives in wasn't touched. Not yet anyway.
There's a new woman moving in upstairs. She's younger than 62 so she must be on disability. She walks okay and looks healthy but sometimes you can't tell if they have a heart problem or something. All disabilities aren't as obvious as mine.
I am so sore tonight. My back hurts like hell. That's because I just got done doing four loads of laundry and changing my bed. Was on my feet too much. My left leg and foot is killing me also. I can't wait to get into bed in a few minutes. Wanted to write here first. I can't even take a deep breath. When I do my whole back hurts.

My oldest daughter, Ginny, called me today. She only spoke for a few minutes. Dave has gone back up to MN and won't be back in TN for 80 days. . Ginny is glad he's gone but the boys miss their father. It's a crazy situation for sure. I talked to Othiniel longer than I did Ginny. But she did tell me that they found a baby rabbit and it died. And the two baby squirrels that the boys had found died also. How sad. I was surprised that the squirrels were still alive last time I talked to her. They lived a month. She did say one fell out of a tree but didn't say why the other died . I think they just did not get the right food or the boys were too rough with them. I'm thinking more it was not the right food. And the baby rabbit was way too small to live without it's mother.

Tomorrow is supposed to be another beautiful day and in the low 70's. Sure wish I felt better and could walk. I'd love to go outside. But I better be careful and maybe this pain will go away soon.
Have a nice Sunday everyone.
