Present moment..on the beach

The weather is fine on the beach.Love that warm weather.Yesterday I checked out the nest on our bird house and the birds have hatched.....Now the question how long before they get big enough to fly.I cut the grass in front but I hesitate to do it in back because of the birds.But I can dig a garden,,,My pear tree survived the frost and I am on my way to having a lot of pears this year....I still work in the mail room at TCC ,,,,,My favorite Chinese resteraunt is being renovated
I am eager to check it out when it opens,,
My next post Pre Army days,,,.........................Phillip Meyer S/sgt Ret.

Researching et all

My latest is researching the years 1954 1955,,1956 and 1957 It is amazing how many memories it brings back,, I have a lot of printing out to do..The key year is 1956...
Once I have done some good research then I will write the story,,.
The bird in our back yard still sitting in the nest....The weather staying nice,,Still cool but not cold..Soon my Gerbillic acid will be here.It is the best plant food I have ever used,,It has been around a long time started by the Japanese in the 1800s...

My Blog works..amazing,,,the bird still sits

Amazing I put in my user name and password and actually got in my blog..Considering all the problems I have had with passwords that is the bst thing to happen since i started on computers,
The bird in our back yard is still still sitting on her eggs,,That bird knows eggsactly what she is doing....Another surprise I check my pear tree that did not do anything last year because of a cold spell..This time our pear tree is filled with little pears this is the year for the big harvest,,
The Korean girls loved the last two meals i cook for them.Last night I made hamburgers but just not any hamburger thick ones made from the best meat,and all the best onion tomatoe pickles, along with french fries..Tonight I fix a fish dinner again it all went well.........
Weather on the beach getting warmer......

A Bird found a home..(our yard)

We put a bird house in our back yard at least 12 years ago.Some where in the last couple of years I did not put bird food in it..It is on top of a post around five feet high.The last few days I saw birds flying and landing by the bird house,Then this morning I was looking in the yard.On the side of the bird house was this huge nest and a bird laying in it,....Tonight before it got dark the bird was gone so I went out with my camera and look in the nest.In it was three small eggs.
I took pictures of them,,Now I am hoping the bird comes back to sit on her eggs,(Im to heavy)
So now I have to get some bird food to feed Momma bird,,That bird would be horrified to know we ate chicken tonight,.............I am hoping I see that bird sitting on her eggs tommorow,,
