Big Bird

This hawk paid us a visit yesterday and allowed me to take pictures from inside before it flew away. I got so excited I forgot to focus my camera properly though and this is the best picture I could get... We are worried about our little dogs when this hawk comes in the yard though so we chased it away. Hope he found what he was looking for in another yard. The little birds didn't seem to mind him being there, wonder if it doesn't like birds.... maybe he eats mice. I hope anything else is off limits.
   I went to the craft sale at church today but didn't find what I was looking for, darn. Now I will have to find another one somewhere or be satisfyed with what I already got.... I did get a couple of things for the kitchen and even got a sloppy joe plate to go... We looked above the garage for Santas and didn't find any. we found some baby clothes and some clothes that wouldn't fit me even in my dreams so off they went to St Vincent de Paul.... Im still looking for the Santas, darn anyway. I really don't NEED them but now I can't stop wondering where they are or if I gave them away too.... Not on purpose though you can be sure of that......
   Leo found his ice shanty up there and he was playing with it and fixing it up and now he is fishing. Its nice and quiet in the house this afternoon. Almost too quiet but when the guys get home on go the tv's first thing so I am enjoying the quiet for awhile.
Did anyone but me enjoy the Nascar banquet last night? I stopped watching just as they were announcing Busch because I really don't like his attitude. I'm  a Jeff Gordon fan and I thought he did so well, didn't you. Imagine and he was not feeling so well after just getting out of the hospital with the flu. I think he gave a better talk sick than most gave feeling well.... thats my boy!  I didn't care for the music though. You would think they could have gotten better... I could have gotten better but someone must have thought it was great. :>) Just wasn't my style.
Hope you are having a nice day, Sandra
