Tolentreasures

Ok, sometimes I just get carried away.  The beadboard was bought last September. A Thanksgiving project in mind.  It was set in front of my car in the garage.  I looked at it every day. All winter.  It was time. A different project.  In my healthy fear of saws,  I finally managed to get  JWS to cut it for me. I might have just got a little carried away.  I mean after all,  I just wanted one set!  Of Five Forty four or so signs later,  I was done.  The really funny part?  I am not really fond of birds!  And this... Is the one I used to have.    Primitive?   No... Firewood now!  I mean after all, it is fifteen years old!  I sure hope it doesn't take JWS another six months to make the stakes! 

Those of you that know me, will be surprised to see bird pictures on my blog. I am not a huge bird lover. They really scare me. Well, to clarify, not outside, just inside. For instance, I can barely stand to be in Lowe's when they are swooping around. Every now and then we get one in the shop. I leave. When it is gone, I come back. But, in the spring, my Mom counts robins. Her theory, when she gets to 100, spring will be here. My kids would always count robins with her in the spring. and now Logan is counting robins. Every day, he calls Grandma Shirley to tell her how many he has. He is beating her. Yesterday's count? Logan - 27 Robins Grandma Shirley - 12 Robins To be fair, Grandma Shirley lives in the city. Logan lives in the country and spends a lot of time looking for robins. I think he is going to win. He is ready. I am ready. I really want to not say these words again, "Quit swinging that golf club in my office!!!"
