Saturday February 16, 2019 - Forth Worth - Ho Hum Day which means no real exciting stuff just mundane activities.

Both Cassi and Lu are sick with a cold and the kids decided to take Lu to the Dr today.  He was given a treatment and  several prescriptions.  So hopefully this will help him shake his cough.  While kids were out I finished off the laundry.  Cassi had collected and put it in the washer and my job was to get it to the dryer.  She does laundry often which is lucky for me on this trip, since I only took two of everything, I will have to wash more often.

It was really cool outside today and with no sunshine, it made for  a dreary day.  I got out in the afternoon to see about my Ipad.  When I turned it on this morning to read the Saturday paper with my coffee.  It was disabled.  This meant nothing worked.  The Apple Store is about 5 minutes away and the world was there on a dreary day.  Almost all of the parking spots in this outdoor mall area were taken.  I had my name put on a list and was told to stick around.  I popped over to Staples to take a look around as my daily agenda book is almost full and I picked a new one there.

Two Apple technicians tried to get my ipad to restore and it did not work.  Finally, another fellow tried something and it worked.  It is 6 years old and the IOS is too old and can`t be further updated.  There is nothing wrong with the ipad but soon I will have to replace it and make Apple even richer.  But I am thankful that it is working.  I lost all of my stuff on the ipad, but really it was no big deal.  I just took the evening to get it back to normal after loading programs and Apps etc.  I am happy.

I arrived home and we had an excellent Dover Sole supper cooked by Matt.  Lu went to bed quickly as he had not had a nap today.

I spent the evening working on my Ipad, loading stuff back on to it.  I did not bird today and it was not pleasant outside today.  But still it is not winter weather at all.  I hope it does not get any colder as I lost a glove and just have one here.  So I will have to look around and see about gloves....

Generally a Ho Hum Day!

Monday February 18, 2019 Presidents' Day in the US here!

Today the weather was coolish with a wind.  I took Darla out for a walk around 8:30 am and it was chilly.  NOT cold but chilly.  We walked down our back lane and it is all downhill and Darla likes it as there are all kinds of neat smells for her I imagine.  It is a back lane so very dark at night unless the houses that have driveways along it have lights.  So many creatures of the night I am thinking.  It is a steep downhill walk and we come out either at Montgomery or the Photo Building parking lot.  She usually does her business by this point and she is eager to get home for food.  She always seems to be in a hurry!   It is a steep hill to go back up to Cassi's place up the same city block and on the corner.  It is refreshing.  I took Darla for two walks today.  Otherwise my day was spent at home.  It was a dreary day and the sun was trying to come out.  That is when I went out again with Darla.  It was...

Saturday March 2, 2019 Texas Independence Day

Image
Texas Independence Day Day is the celebration of the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. With this document signed by 59 delegates, settlers in Mexican Texas officially declared independence from Mexico and created the Republic of Texas. (from Wikipedia).     Who knew.   Some stores had sales today for Independence Day. I went to bed really early last night and I slept until 5 am.  I got up as I had to visit the bathroom.  Once there I thought I have to be quiet as I wanted to leave for birding in South Dallas at 6:30 am.  So I got myself ready and then I took Darla out for a walk.  It was still pitch dark.  I got her back in the house and pick-up my stuff for birding (lunch bag, liquids, snack, travel binocs and gloves.  I could not find a headband in any of the stores I looked.  It was cool and there was a wind.  I stopped at MacD's for my coffee and off I went for a 45 minute dr...

Today after taking Lu to school and Darla out for her constitutional, I headed to the Fort Worth Wildlife Center to help a friend do the Feeder Watch at the center.   It was a drizzly on and off  all morning and overcast.  We watched and counted the birds (maximum number is the most seen at one time)  and we also caught up on the birds we each have seen and the trips taken and other stuff since the last time we had time for a chat.  It was a good morning.  We had some laughs and we managed to end up with 10 species by noon when the watch ends.  There were some birds that should have come to the feeder and did not.  Maybe it was the weather.  My friend had to go on to work so we did not tarry when it ended.  Since I was there, I went on to the Marsh Boardwalk and trail to see if any new species of bird had arrived since the last time I was there.  Nope!  I did part of the trail and it was pretty quiet.  The sun came...
