Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o
I hope you get some lovely, soaking rain soon!

We need the rain too!! Aren't petunias amazing? They look so delicate, but are soooo tough.
ReplyDeleteeven though we really need rain, too, i'd gladly send it over to colorado if i could...
ReplyDeleteYou are so thoughtful to keep the bird bath full for your feathered friends.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to keep out full too... they certainly have enjoyed it this year.
Love those petunias..so cheerful!

I need to figure something to give the birds water...and need a place to put it. If I put it where the sun shines all day, I am afraid it would burn their little tushes!
ReplyDeleteThe fires in CO do make me feel ashamed to complain about our drought.
ReplyDeleteI put out water for the birds but haven't seen any visitors; they must go to the cattle trough.
I love that bird bath!! Birdies sure need water in this hot weather that we have been having.
ReplyDeleteWe have two birdbaths..and boy do they bathe! Your birdbath is beautiful..I hope you get rain soon. We got some but we could uses some more:)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely bird bath, Rita! I have been trying to decide what kind to get. I really like that one.
