Up and had coffee with my bride at 0630AM.
Wanted to tell you all about a miracle. When we were hitching up at home before we left for Florida, I noticed we might have a bird nest in the fiver hitch, Donna had said she saw an adult bird, fly out of there while I was hitching up.
When we arrived yesterday at Paul & Helens after 980 miles of travel and 2 days .As I was unhitching Paul said you have some travelers with you, Three baby birds had jumped from the trailer into the pickup as I unlocked the hitch. Paul got a bucket and put them in it and Helen has been hand feeding them. She said they are really in good shape and should make it to adulthood.
The Miracle Babies.
This morning Paul & Sam visited the Citrus County Fairgrounds where The Citrus County Fair Grounds which hosts the Citrus County Model Railroad Club. Then we looked over some tractors getting ready for a tractor pull.
Here Ya go Rick, a new John Deere for you.
This one had a big block Chevy Engine.
When we got back Paul & Sam took the cover off the pool.
Here’s the gang waiting for swim call.
Swim Call.
After everybody had there fill of the pool all four of the pooches and Sam were ready for a nap.
We will continue your this tomorrow from sunny Inverness Fla. Everyone be safe out there. Sam & Donna..
That yellow lab looks so much like my Maggie who passed away last July it makes me want to cry and hug it all at the same time.
