Is it weird to be bothered by this stuff?
I have no idea what happened. Maybe the last cold spell was too much for it. Maybe age.
I've also noticed another flitting in and out of the shed. Could be the partner.

Somewhere in this thread, or maybe another, I've mentioned 'Shed Bird', a small bird of some kind that has been nesting on a light fixture in my garden shed for the last few years. I don't know for sure if it's the same bird every year or not, since I don't know how long they live. I know they migrate, because they're gone all winter.
It showed up a few weeks ago, spruced up the nest and went about other business. I always talk to it when I go in the shed and it usually just looks down at me like I'm crazy.
Well, the last couple of days I could see it sitting up there but never saw any of the usual motion. This morning, I noted that the tail feathers were in exactly the same place as yesterday. So, reluctantly, I did some poking and prodding and there was no response at all.
Got a long reach grab stick and removed the remains.

So proud of myself!
I turned my apple tree shrub back into a tree today. Cut down at least 7 trunks by hand (loppers and pruning saw).
I had a lot of energy to burn off.
I also started turning my "character" lopsided pine tree into a proper upright tree. It looks a little bare like a Charlie Brown tree, but it does look happier.
Only problem is my neighbors don't have as much privacy. Whoops! I guess I don't either, until the cherry tree gets some leaves or the apple tree fills out on top. Cherry tree could be dead though. I'll give it a few more weeks to sprout leaves. I may have to take it down too.
My biceps will be sore tomorrow....
Hooray! You got the pruning saw & lopper! Which did you choose?
I planted a new fig tree. It has leaves. This marks a massive improvement over the last fig tree I planted, which became a dead stick rather quickly.
Morning all....venturing back over to this side of the world (forum) lol as I've started again my re-decorating. Problem being, is I'm spending so much on furniture, I kinda feel guilty! :wondering
I started off buying a new sofa as my old one is 10 years old, my style has changed and the current one is so stained and dirty its hard to clean anymore and then my dining room table broke again (been repaired multiple times) after I had already ordered my new living room, and had to order a new table so i've put out a significant $$ amount in the last few months. The good thing is I keep telling myself that now I won't have to replace anything for another 10+ years and I can easily replenish my savings, but its still a hard pill to swallow when you make such large purchases..particularly when I'm trying to save more money so I can move in the next few years.
Anyone else find themselves in the same boat?
