These tracks don't lie! My big Kimball piano is gone! Posting it on a freecycle group, someone spotted it, and decided they would like it. I really liked it, but didn't have the time to play. It didn't seem right to be just sitting there unused. Especially since I had just got it tuned. I hope the new owners really enjoy it. It was over 100 years old!
Thanks to a friend of mine with an over abundance of tomatoes, I now have made over a dozen quarts of tomato sauce. I didn't think I would get any this year, as actually going out and picking them wasn't happening. I thought I planted enough to do something with, but they aren't cooperating! My peppers are but penny size. I hear that it will warm up this week, so maybe as a last effort they will pop out.
As we were sitting down to breakfast yesterday, I saw one of the cats playing with a new "toy". At first I thought it was a frog. I went out to scat him away because he was right infront of the window where we were trying to eat. I discovered it was a small chickadee. It was still very much alive. I grabbed that cat around it's neck and it dropped out of it's mouth. I scooped the small bird up in my apron, not knowing what to do with it. At first I was going to take it far into the brush so it could collect itself and then fly away, possibly. But as I was looking at it, it seemed soaking wet from the cat's mouth. I thought it would surely freeze. I went out back and grabbed a bird cage that I had hanging for decoration in the backyard. Jess had bought it a long time ago at a yard sale and we never got rid of it. Thankfully! It came in handy yesterday as I put some dry hay and then the bird in it. I left it in our mudroom while we were at church to dry out. When we got home about noon we found it flitting around and ready to go!
Tom took it out back and it fluttered one branch to the other and then took off. I'm glad that one turned out with a happy ending!
