Singing A Beautiful Song

This sweet little Gold Finch was sitting at the edge of the bird bath and singing the most beautiful song. I seldom see them singing like this near me. I know that I shouldn't say anything if I can't say anything nice, but he really has ugly feet!

Granddaughter and a friend came over this morning to help me in the yard; I was delighted because this yard is too much for me to handle, but I know they were motivated by the money. They really need money so I am happy that they are willing to work for it; I refuse to simply give her money, but I will always give her an opportunity to earn it. Actually, they really did a good job and got a lot of things I wanted done in two hours; I especially needed her friend, who is big and strong, to do some heavy work. He is coming back tomorrow to help me again. I am delighted, but a little concerned that it will be too hot to work outside. I hope it cools off a little.

We walked tonight at about 8:30PM when it had finally cooled off a little; it was fun seeing so many neighbors out in their front yards or walking. I think we all waited until evening coolness!
