Rainy Days Today we got a good rain so even though it was our water day we didn't have to water which saves us on the water bill. The birds love it when it rains, everytime it stops raining they come out in droves to the feeders. We even had a number of squirrels come out today eating the peanuts I put out for them. We have to keep Red (Lacy's cat) in the house after a rain because he loves to go disrupt the birds and squirrels by chasing them, he has even gotten pretty fast at climbing a tree so the squirrels really have to watch out. I yell at Red but he ignores me so Jerry will chunk a few rocks in his direction and make him run away from the bird area but we have found it is just easier to keep him in the house. School starts back for Matt in 3 days, early hours again uggg. I got this on the internet from a very good friend Barbara and thought I would include it here for you all. A very gentle Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump, think of your dear mother and father." He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead; I'm going to jump." She said, "Well, think of your wife and children.. "He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids." She said, "Well, think of Robert E. Lee." He replied, ''Who's Robert E. Lee?'' She replied, ''Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb ass Yankee." Have a good night everyone.
