Amazing technology

These pictures are of the re-decking job the Mr. did. I guess I didn't get a final photo of the hand rail. The old decking was really in bad shape!!














An update on the bluebirds!! After the first little ones left the nest, mama began adding twigs to the old nest and invited the NEW Mr. to join her. They have been very intently watching the back yard and I have had to capture HOJO the pretty boy cat, nearly every morning. He insists on tormenting them!! One morning, in fact it was the 4th of July, he surprised skinny bitch Hildy with a ground squirrel carefully placed belly up in her water dish. He is totally indiscriminate in his search for prey.

Now as we await the person or persons who will be unable to resist our home as theirs, we have continued to do our own search. After seeing about 10 houses in about 5 hours, we were pretty confused at the end of the day last Wed. We have a few criteria and one is price of course. Also on our list is RV parking and room for the MR's pool table. Being in the older generation, it would be nice to find a one-level ranch. The amazing technology now is that we have Google Earth. This allows us to literally fly at our computer to any home on the market and see if there is RV parking for instance, or if there is alley access or if there is a railroad near. AMAZING!! Several will be on our keep list and hope that we are not moving as the snowflakes fly. Summer is the best time here in WY as the evenings cool way down and the days are not so very hot. The river is still up so the floaters and fishermen are happy and the baby antelope and deer are starting to be seen as we travel along the prairie roads. The bachelor buck deer are in the velvet as their antlers are beginning to grow and they seek shade in many front yards here in town during the heat of the day.

I am re-doing a set of vintage metal lawn furniture from the 50's. Both the chair and glider had many, many, coats of paint on them and not having access to a sand blaster or powder coating establishment, I am doing it the old fashioned way and not too particular at that. Will post the progress!!
