well know that i have a camara to get this closeup of the bird house the birds have stayed away, i was in the house getting smokey to come out side and when i was out WITHOUT my camara the deer was right there and when i got back and sat with my camara ready aint NO ANIMALS come. PATTY CAME THOUGH that was a nice surprise. well tommorro i have a 3 hour stress test for my abnormal ekg, they say i will be fine alone (good since mom cant drive) but patty said if it bothers me i can call her and she will run me home. then i have to work all night so i am cleaning some tonight so i dont have to worry about laying down inbetween the stress test and working. the picture of the oak tree was just soo perfect with the lighting, new leaves with the sun shining. AHH i LOVE the spring evenings. and smokey is waiting patiently for the birds to come. have a great memorial day and remember the reason why we all celebrate.
