Yesterday did not see much done here. I washed several loads of laundry and put them on the line to dry. The wind was up a little, and they seemed to dry pretty fast.
I then went up to do some work with my birds, just to find that weasels/minks had finished off most of them. All I have left are my Frillbacks, peafowl, swans, and a few ducks. The doves don't seem to have been bothered, either. I'm totally discouraged, and thinking of just getting out of the bird business altogether. Steve has not encouraged me toward them in a long time, and complains when I take time for them, so I'm thinking of just giving up on them. He doesn't like any hobby I take up.
I was deeply depressed about the loss of my birds, and just went through the rest of the day with a downcast spirit.
I got the clothes off the line just before a big storm hit this area. There was a bit of wind, then heavy rain for about an hour.
Steve went to bed about 1:00 in the afternoon, and has slept ever sinse that time. I painted on crafts and did things that did not make too much noise, because I figured he needed his sleep. He's still in bed this morning at 8:30.
He'll get left behind if he doesn't get up and get going soon, as I want to get up to Creekside and attend to some things there, before the other workers get too far off in the wrong direction.
There's work to do.
