What a beautiful day. The wife and I took a long drive. Showed her the general area of my youth. Also drove past a property she had found online (out of our range). She loved the hills and couldn't stop talking about it.
Visited the gravesites of mom, family, and friends.
I used to have a birdhouse for Martins. I liked to watch them fly around in the afternoon. It was disappointing when we had to change out the house. The first one was wooden but it rotted out. The next one was sheet metal which we thought we were being smart but I don’t think the birds cared for the new house and the heat. We had less birds but I think there was a storm that hit South America that year. I have wondered if I couldn’t just use birdhouse gourds instead.
