Bill sent me this before he had his neck injection

We had lots of white crowned sparrows this morning

Bought new live traps today, a big one for raccoons and a small one for squirrels, etc.  I set both of them to see what I catch.   Something went in our old one last night, but after it ate the food, it kept pushing the back wall and since it was only clipped with heavy duty clips it escaped.  

The clematis by the garage is starting to get flowers on it

We slept in til 9.  Got ready and went out and checked the fish.  They were doing great.  We left at 10:35 and went to Bill’s appointment for his neck injection.  I prayed over him before we got to the clinic.  He sent me a picture of him before the did it.  He’s so sweet!  I talked to Melissa while he was having it done.  I was his driver.  I drove us to Levi’s for breakfast afterwards.  He had eggs, bacon and potatoes and I had a veggie omelette with hash browns.  It was huge so I brought half home with me for tomorrow.  I called Kimmy to check on her and she was doing great this morning.  I am so happy about that.  We worked outside when we got home.  He worked on the sod he put down around two trees, and I worked on putting Preen down in my garden with the fish pond and also around part of the house.  I moved 4 plants to new places.  Worked on weeding some by the shed.  I watered the new grass and the sod.  Moved the sprinkler as needed.  

I went in and read my reading in Hebrews for today.  Great book of the Bible.  I went back outside to check on Bill.  He was working on the sod.  He finished and I put the sprinkler on it for him.  I talked with Vikki.  She sent me video’s and pictures of her Flicker.  She had a male making a nest and then the female came later in the day.  Very cool to watch.  I had a flicker at my house today too.  I showed her pictures.  I will have to try to figure out where its nest is.  

I made sirloin burgers, baked potatoes, and green beans for dinner.  After dinner, we went to Cabela’s to check on bear spray for Melissa.  I was going to get some for her, but it was $39.99 to 69.99 and was in a large aerosal can that was kind of heavy.  I FaceTimed her and we had some great laughs and decided she would wait and get some in Colorado instead of here.  

Bill and I stopped at Panera and got our free large lemonade and 2 cookies for $3.  Vikki told me about a Sip Club deal there so I signed up for 3 months.  

We came home and Bill read his Bible and devotions and I worked on my blog.  I talked with Lexie and prayed with her.  Then I talked to Melissa for a while til she had to leave with Bruce.
