Working

 Update on explosion: Back in the day it would have been big news but these days the news is so much more dramatic that it pales. But...there wasn't any loss of life or limb! I hope no one loses their job over this because the co-op will be out of commission for who knows how long.

But moving on...Last year we bought a new shade for the windshield of the motorhome. This was to lessen the need for a ladder and we all know why that's important! The new one fits on the inside and I can put it in place without assistance.

The purpose of the shade is twofold; blocking the sunlight and keeping anyone from seeing us too clearly from the outside. By too clearly I mean at night you can see shapes and perhaps movement but that about does it. On the other hand, we can see out. 

So after getting the new one what does one do with the old one? It was made purposely for our RV so resell isn't likely. So enter the pool hall and three windows. If you know me well you know I am not fond of curtains, drapes, etc so I decided perhaps I could cut the old screen to fit the windows and put them on tension rods so they could be placed or taken down easily. So that is what I did yesterday. I have a sewing machine that has been under the bed for a few years because it is hard to get out plus space to set it up is at a premium so now it has a new home in the pool hall, also known as the WE SHED. The new space for the sewing machine makes it very easy to get out and set up. Photos later. The multi-purposes of the Pool Hall are Pool, of course as well as a Game room, Craft room, etc.

Another subject:

There is a wren who comes each season to the wren house we have under the eave on the west side of the house. The way wren's work is that the male finds a suitable home furnishes it and makes it nice and cozy. Then he warbles his little heart out to have the female come and look at it. If she finds it suitable she will take up residence with him and start a family. So our little guy has found a taker! She has lighter coloring and is larger than he is, so it is easy to tell them apart. I have such a hard time deciding which photos to keep! These are all photos of the male. 

This guy, we need a name for him, is a good mate. I made this determination before she got here because he was dive-bombing the squirrel whenever it was in the feeder. So he is helping Butch out with his squirrel battle! We haven't seen much of the squirrel lately.

I may tackle my flower beds this weekend...did you catch that, Karla? Karla likes to do yard work and she lives in an apartment. And she had her second Fauci Ouchie yesterday!
