MEANDERINGS of Margie

I am blessed with 2 sons.....both are free-spirited, mischevious and enjoy a bit of fun! They both share my sweet Daddy's spirit of "pickin"/mischief on everyone around them! Monday, I was busy making sure to get that "obligatory" pic of me w/my sons before Eric left.  Neither of them are very enthusastic about my camera hobby! Marc was the most hesitant...So. I told him come on and get 'er done! Marc ran toward me quickly, tried to pick me up,had the tight squeeze going on --very playfully and joking. I'm unsure if my feet left the floor, but it may have happened!! Everyone was laughing, I was hollering to put me down/stop, and everyone was "in the moment". *you had to be there to know how really funny it was!!!* Pattie had the camera and tried to "catch" the shananigans. This is what she got --after he turned me loose. You can see Marc beside me.  Whew! What an experience....for an ol Mama.   LOL (I can testify -- Ma

Enjoyed trip to Massee Lane Gardens on Sat. Went home Marshallville hwy. back toward Perry. Spotted a Crop Duster flying low. Ofcourse. I stopped to take pics! I parked in the "sweet" spot where he came right over head and straight at me. Whew...no dust was falling then!  1st sight after parking...  Returning ...  Overhead to make turn..  turning...  h e r e   he comes !  Right over me !!  Reached intersection to turn; he had landed... Reload "dust" for next run! These days everyone is fighting Against this procedure! Too many pesticides on foods we eat. It still was an interesting sight to watch.....

Wednesday yet another, "last yr." compilation came out for FB. ! A friend had done a Loop back for 2013. This one gives numbers -- posts, shares and who "likes" ya stuff. I did it.... WOW! Now that is amazing to me. If ya know me....then, yep, that reflects my "on time" with FB. It doesn't ever seem like a lot of time spent here, but, I can see------yep. I do.  LOL I learned long ago, "visit" a while, get up and do "chores", errands and such. Then.....I'm back again! Retirement has been a huge adjustment. FB has given me opportunity to keep in contact with--friends, family, and an outlet to make "new" friends!  Guess, sometimes, Obsession--in this case, FB,--may be a useful tool to keep one's sanity!  Anyway....I enjoy my time on FB. I can't find a legitimate reason to apologize for those numbers!!

Wow! A beautiful day! Sun, slight breeze and enough energy to DO something!! LOL  Beginning the "spring clean" of the bird sanctuary. Each year, I like to add a few "new" things, and clean the area. #1 priority .. clean the "floor" for the birds. It was verrrry nasty, after all the winter weather and regular pine cone/straw drops! Used the leaf blower to easily "move that mess" right on out! It did take more time than I had figured!! Lamar was my "helper" today! Yep. He raked behind the back timber, while I cleaned, about a ft. of space, around the right side, and front.  ...before Lamar set up bird bath It's nice to see -- now the birds have a clean "floor" !! #2 Repaint lg. staff for bird feeders. Done. Looks like brand new!! It was rusty and so needed some attention! Also. Replaced "country store" birdhouse. This one I already had on hand. In fact, a much LOVED gift from Stacey&Marc years ago.
