Daniel and I have finally gotten old enough to start "remembering" things that are now considered old. Last night, also on Youtube, we watched a Merry Melodies short film called "Farm Frolics" that we watched as super little kids. One of my earliest memories is being petrified by the weasel that sneaks up on the little chicks! It was alot of fun to watch something I "endured" as a two year old! :)
The Walkers are finally about to be able to move out here in a mobile home while they build their house! They hired someone to clear the old homesite of all the brush and old bushes and trees, which is forward motion indeed. But....I am feeling a bit melancholy. The reason? Well, normally I am not sentimental at all about animals, but... there were so many birds nesting in the brush, and many of them have figured in my Bramblewood Hedge series. I feel halfway as if I had murdered them! :( Silly I know, but the poor dears! I meant to rescue a really pretty bush I have admired for several years, but it was buried under some big cedar bushes and even Dad and the hired man couldn't retrieve it! But Mama, dear thing that she is, inspired by some truthfully Divine impulse, somehow got it in her head that the bush was a "flowering quince". Now, who in tarnation ever heard of a "flowering quince"? I hadn't! But lo and behold, she went online when we came back, and that lovely mysterious bush is a flowering quince! Yay! Mystery solved, and we can probably procure one for our enjoyment now that we know what it is! Thanks Mama! Well, Justin Wright generously left us his really nice volleyball net for the week, so I'm going to get off now and see if I can rustle up the others for a nice game! See ya'll later! :) -Rachel
