I was up at 6:00. It was daylight here, with no rain. Jake was sitting on the back step looking annoyed, and Tom the Mocker was sitting on the fence barking at him.
I went out to the Scout camp and got Tom, Elen, and Sally, then took Tom to church and brought Elen and Sally home. DP has just left to get Tom, Pat, and James; the latter two will be arriving with the Boy Scouts. Then I’ll have to run them through the wash and take them to church.
I was up at 0515, but I was awake long before that. The reasons are not worth mentioning, but with luck, I will sleep well tonight.
The mocking birds here are not as vocal as in other places. Once in a while, I’ll hear a sound like a back-up alarm on a utility truck, but when I look to see what it’s doing, there is nothing there. Just a bird on a branch.
