Can you imagine the joy?
And that's exactly how I looked today when I got a new Mother Board put into my dead computer.
Yes. I know.
Right after my last blog post about the lovely rain, we had several power outages and my computer would not restart.
After finding out that my brilliant computer guy was sick with the flu and that he wasn't even joking when he texted me "Oh Jeanette....I am so sorry but your computer really is dead"!
So I put on my big girl boots and called Dell.
Two hours later after a very patient man walked me though opening up the side of my computer and unplugging stuff and plugging in other stuff and turning it on and off and beeps and timing flashing lights and there may have been a few tears.....
...it was determined that I needed a new Mother Board.
Huh?
I texted my sick computer guy and he said that he was VERY proud of me!
I'll have you know that I went through withdrawals being without my computer.

So I now can take a deep breath and appreciate all that my trusty little computer gives me.
While painting, I looked out of our back door to the little bird house that Mr. B bought for our yard and I saw some activity in there. (You can read about Mr. B's purchase HERE)
An Oak Titmouse was checking it out for a nest. Later in the day she brought her hubby along to show him the real estate she had found. He must of given her the green light because the two of them were busy building that nest all day long.
Mama bird would fly in and out with soft bits of fuzz in her beak while the proud dad would sing from the Maple tree above with joy.
And off she goes to find more nesting stuff.
I can't tell you how much joy this brings to my heart.
“If you will stay close to nature,
to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable,
those things can
unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”
--Rainer Maria Rilke
You're so lucky, you attract such diverse birds like oak titmice and wrens and others I can't remember. Here we just put up a sock with fresh Nyjer seed and it is swarming with little birds but not goldfinches which it is supposed to attract. SO we get these little brown birds? on the net sock, 3 or 4 at a time and chickadees below because they are too big to hang on, but that's all. Walnut Creek is the place to see birds I guess or else you are better hosts with better seeds?
