Last week, we noticed that some very cute little sparrows were flying in and out of the garage. Unlike other birds that fly in by mistake and just fly around the rafters in a panic, these sparrows got in and out without an problem. In fact, completely ignoring Rick working away, they set up housekeeping in the rafters - obviously these were mis-directed barn swallows who thought our garage was a barn. And while they seemed quite friendly and were certainly entertainment for the cats, they do make a mess. After Kris checked to make sure their nest really hadn't progress very far, we kept the garage closed up for several days forcing them to find another likely spot to nest.
Kris had a rare two days off in a row - he pretty well works at least 5 1/2 days a week and often goes back in the evenings - I think he was almost a loss as to what to do for the two days. He wound up cleaning his car inside and out and puttering around the house, but he today loaded his dirt-bike into the truck and took off for the day - I'm sure he'll come home sun-burned and tired.
Jamie and Julie spent the long weekend at Julie's parents cottage in Aylmer - they used to spend a lot of time there, but now that they have a larger apartment, a good queen size bed (our old one) and two PC's for gaming, I think they almost prefer to stay home - still they had a lovely weekend to open the cottage up.
Real estate was quiet for Rick and myself - much is done from home anyway. I can draw up offers, fax documents, email clients etc. all from home - so even a "quiet" weekend usually means answering emails and phone calls.
Haven't been taking many pictures lately - but today I snapped one of Rick mowing the lawn - it's a tad on the dry side - we're supposed to get some rain tonite - we need it!
