The Old Folks Home

I woke up earlier to laughter. My grandson was sleeping on the couch, sound asleep, and laughing. A few minutes ago, he was laughing again, so I thought he might have woke up. I checked on him, and he's still asleep.

My Family is full of sleep walkers and talkers....I do not know if we have any sleep laughters though!

Awww! Like Ron, I have a sleep talker in the house. Sometimes he says funny things, but I don’t remember any laughing. How old is the little guy?

Hey Diva... birthday? I didn't miss it did I?

Yep, and Trumpeting Angel, and Sourlands!

Oops, forgot @sourland's birthday! Happy Birthday SL! May you live long and prosper!

Just got in from working on harvesting a big oak tree that we dropped last spring to make room for DH's RC runway approach. It looked big but on the ground it's just really big with a huge canopy. Every time we open up an area we find more branches as big around as my thigh. DH was working on the trunk which is somewhere around 30 inches in diameter. It started getting hot out so we quit at 3 tractor bucket loads. Now we are in cooling off. I have bread started for the breadmaker and then I'm back outside to spray weeds and word on my old coop some more.

I have chicks due to hatch tomorrow. My last hen with chicks went back to the flock yesterday. Discovered she was laying again.

@perchie.girl. I would love to see your work. I enjoy sketching and water colors. Haven't tried sculpture although I LOVE to weld and would love to try to make a 'junk yard' mobile. My niece always chastised me for not studying art in college instead of medicine. I told her medicine was my job, art was my talent and hobby. If I did it professionally then I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. I sold quite a few pieces at Science Fiction conventions. Mainly fantasy stuff. What was funny was that she got a BA from Bradley University in Art History and is now working in the medical field.....it's true what they say about starving artists, I guess.

This is what is what I need to manage.... thank goodness hunger is out of the loop.

Long road but you understand it. No doubts you will be quite successful.

But now that shes accepted the move.... all the sudden my muse came back.

No way I'd drop a 30" tree, WAY out of my league!

Similar to @superchemicalgirl, doing what you like for you becomes not fun when you have to be on someone's time table and under their control.

He's 8. I mentioned it to my daughter. She's aware that he talks, and laughs in his sleep.

Sure ya can, Bruce! DH used to say the same thing. He can do it! He hates doing it but he can do it. What he really hates to deal with are dead trees standing and I agree. I've seen them do all sorts of strange and dangerous things while being notched. Ones on the ground are easily dealt with but we try to make it a policy to let ma nature bring down the dead ones. We'll deal with them afterwards. The big tree that he and a neighbor dropped last fall was newly dead which isn't as dangerous and it was bigger than the one we are dealing with now.

It's just safety, safety, safety and a lot of prayers and fingers being crossed...oh and a clear path to make a quick get away if you have to!

Happy belated, @sourland from another 7/7! Hope your day was as good as mine!
