Yesterday. Caber 261

Not bad start for my lady. We have sun and heat today. Yeah. I get to do some stuff outside.

I got a solar powered fountain pump for my bird bath bowl. Flash sale on internet $10. I get to put it in. Don't think it very powerful but I'd be happy if bubbles some for them. It has 4 spray caps to tryout.

New plans came in for the kitchen cabinets so have to look at them tonight.

Will be out early tomorrow so won't be able to start condo till afternoon. Taking dad to eye doctor. His eye looks really bad.

Has anyone heard anything on @Squalliesmom ?
 
Good luck with installing the solar powered pump for the bird bath. Hope eye appointment for your dad goes well tomorrow and they can determine treatment.

There was an update on Lucy yesterday from Marje.
YES!!! I just heard from Andrew this morning with great news!!!!!

They have had a busy week but said they moved Lucy to rehab this week and she is gaining strength each day. She sat up in a chair today! They are all excited and we are all excited for you, dear LUCY!!!!!!!!

Have fun outside, hugs to Olive.

The bowl from local hardware store. If you Google bird bath bowls you can find quite a few. I was Looking because last year the store didn't have a design I liked. This year they did so scooped it up in January I think it was and it's been in my garage waiting for summertime.

The fountain was and ad on internet during a flash sale. Started at $20. Next time it came up was $10. Took the chance on it. Shipping was free and it said 1-2 weeks to arrive. After 3 weeks I hadn't gotten it and put request into PayPal about it. Was told it shipped and I got it next day. I can look up the seller if you want it.

Yes please and tu
 
Site for fountain. Like I mentioned. I got it on flash sale, ad on my tablet when starting up. I got the flower shape. I don't know if I would spend $26 on it. Will have to wait and see how long it lasts. My solar bird feeder stopped lighting up after a year, but I can still use the feeder.

ETA if it's breezy, water sprays and can empty the bird barh. Going to try the bubbler cap, I like the spray head though.

It's called the country, farm land. All that green grass, clover and trees you see up to the road in both photos is our front yard.

We live in horse country - and on a wetland - so my view is deer, raccoons, opossums (I saw one recently crossing our back property with her kits all loaded up on her back)! huge turtles, sandhill cranes, hawks, skunks, squirrels and chipmunks and lots and lots of birds - today the lovely Common Flicker was at our feeder - such a beautiful bird - so shy - so I do appreciate the view - mine is different and yours is lovely :)

We have those animals except for the cranes. Had a pair of opossum under our small shed, ground hogs under big shed. This was the first year we saw a turtle, can smell skunk but have not seen one. A bald eagle in the area. I see it about twice a year, husband saw it this year. And bears, but not in our yard anymore since I bring in the feeders in the spring (they destroyed a few the first couple of years we were here). A neighbor down the road feeds them so they stay there.
