Hunters' Widows, Parrot Lovers & Such

Hi, I am starting today to blog for the very first time. I am 58 years old with lots of experience in the world of being a hunter's widow, raising parrots, being a granny (25) and other such things which I will discuss at another time. I have a nice home with many dead things on the walls and around the place, lots of work to do feeding around 300 plus breeding parrots, a difficult time with remembering birthdays and many illnesses to complain about. I hope others will find my meanderings (is that really a word?) either informational, comforting, useful to any degree, and possibly comical or humerous to spring a smile on your face once in a while. For today, life is too much. Waking up with a headache that won't go away, a pile load of washing that is mostly hunting clothes from last weeks Desert Bighorn Sheep hunt that my husband had been applying for for the last 27 years or so....., defrosting a freezer for the meat that will include elk, deer, antelope(heaven forbid), sheep, and a tiny bit of the excellent Black Angus Beef I have been feeding for the past year or more! I am open to usefull advice in patching up the newest holes in his favorite hunting pants as when he threw them at me he said he just had to have them fixed. My reply was just, "again?, some more?" Seems he can't possibly go hunting without the crotch needing to be sewed up again for the 4ohundreth time! My word, I am really going on and it is getting later and later and the birds are letting me know with the loud singing??? that they would like me to feed them, the 5 new baby calves are moo-ing for food and for goodness sake, my husband would like supper sometime before 6 today! Do I look like a cook, animal feeder or someone who really cares??? I'm afraid so. I will put in a picture tomorrow after I figure out how to do it, ok? I have lovely pictures for you to see. Birds, more Birds, grandchildren, oh the many grandchildren, and possible a few dead heads if you would like to observe some. Just a thought for today.... complain only when someone is listening, love everyone/thing all the time, and sing in the bird houses!
