Is there a sign over “old #5” that says disabled Mocking Birds say here free? I’ve been on the roof quite a bit and never saw it. Most of you remember “old peg leg” the one legged Mocking bird that resided here for a while. Now there is one with injured wing. He can only fly/hop short distances but other than that he seems to be in good shape. I suppose the amazing thing to me is neither had any real fear of us. A foot or two distance doesn’t cause any stress. OK I can live with a Mocking Bird around the patio in back that’s not skittish with human company as long as he isn’t messy.
I have a hole dug for the lemon tree. I worked in some fertilizer with good store bought soil especially for Citrus trees and watered it in last night. Sometime today or this evening I plan to set it in place and finish the operation. I’ve tasted the lemons and 2 out of three were really surprising- a combination of a lemon and a sweet orange. I think the odd one that was all lemon wasn’t quite ripe. Neat I hope it thrives. In other “old #5 yard news” I think I’ve selected the spot for my baby saguaro cactus. As full as the outer yard is some careful thought was required. It was tiny when Sharyn gave it to me but it’s almost two feet tall now. They do grow slowly so the thought sneaks in “I wonder how big I’ll see it grow.” That thought might have been prompted a little by my careful thought about where to put it. My first consideration was for it to be visible from the front door so Sherry could see it. I quickly realized that that wasn’t a real factor now but decided I’d maintain that perspective anyway. Yes, sometimes I wonder about my thought processes.
I have some website work to do. I started yesterday when it was still too cold out for me and I wasn’t quite up to my par, usually about 40%. I thought if I can reach Kurt this morning I might go to Scottsdale and help him if he’s working on the condo. Probably not a full day as it is mid morning already but . . . It hasn’t happened yet
Tomorrow is the last day of 2014 as you all know but I haven’t given it much thought but I feel it sneaking into my mind now. Obviously my mind is susceptible to sneak attacks. Ya think?
