Bunnys, Birds, Squirrels and Twins

Just as I was getting ready to head for the shop this morning I spotted a bunny North of the house. I got the camera and snuck out on the back porch. I did pretty good getting pictures of the bunny, birds and squirrel.

The rabbit was happily munching on grass.

Lots of variety on the bird feeder and now that we have two more feeders they last several days between fillings.

The squirrels and chipmunks do a good job of keeping the sunflower seeds the birds drop cleaned up. I painted the tail cone of the B-36 this morning and got one air intake shaped, only 5 more to do. While I was waiting on the glue and paint to dry I started putting the motor in a small glider. I used a contour copier to shape the firewall and the first one I cut out fit perfectly. I did a few modifications to the speed control and tested it out. While I was mounting the motor I had to hunt all over for the right sized screws. I had screws in three different places. I decided it was time to organize so I got Vera and we headed down to Bredfield's. They had just what I wanted, a 24 compartment box with a lid. We stopped at BK and had a couple of burgers for lunch and watched cars come and go while we ate. There is lots of activity there at lunch time. I wonder what they pay a month to have their flower beds done? There was not a weed anywhere.

I kept an eye on the baby sleeping sign this afternoon and headed over when I noticed it was down. Harper had two dogs she was playing with, sitting on big dog playing with little dog.

Ava had something on the bottom of her foot that was bugging her. Dianne tried to find it a couple of times, so I tried the next time. I had her lay on her back on the rug and stick her foot up to me. I checked it all over, brushed it off and checked between her toes, I didn't find anything either! She got up and Harper wanted hers checked, so I did. Then Steve came by and they wanted him to check them also. Lots of fun to watch. OK, I'm back, the cookies Vera made last night were calling me so I had two. After the visit I worked on the little glider some more and got the controls figured out before coming in for the evening. Hope you stayed dry today!
