I am tired of it all, too. Everything on tv is about the pandemic, and there is way too much info and repeating on the news. At news conferences reporters keep asking the same questions that nobody has answers for since we don't know what is going to happen with this new 'animal' that we have never seen before. As my daughter reminded me, you can't change stupid.

Every country in the world is dealing with the same things we are. What is different is that countries and people are handling this virus in different ways, some good and some not very good. May we all stay safe and healthy.Loritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570346408282598440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783524717041507354.post-57082351699104106332020-05-19T16:09:46.864-05:002020-05-19T16:09:46.864-05:00Thanks!

At that time I knew all of the words to it, so it must have been on the radio being sung by someone at the time. Still think of it when the robins come back every year. Around here the robins are pretty quiet now in the mornings, no more of their flirty springtime songs. Thanks for jogging a good memory for me with the lyrics. <br /><br />We used to have a big blue spruce tree in our front yard. Every spring the birds would divide the tree among themselves and set up their nests. Generations of birds returned to that tree year after year and built their nest in nearly the same places each year. The robins really put a lot of work into their nests. This year I watched from the window as robins pulled, and gathered long, brown, dead chive stems by the beak-full over and over again for their nests. I hope they liked their aromatic nests. Since the spruce tree had to be cut down a couple of years ago I watched them take their beaks full of dead chive stems across the street to build their nests.<br /><br />I haven't seen many of my purple finches this year. I miss them. They sing beautifully. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783524717041507354.post-69309918109620590572019-07-27T07:34:54.614-05:002019-07-27T07:34:54.614-05:00When I was looking for pictures of old cook stoves...When I was looking for pictures of old cook stoves I found that there are several styles of new cook stoves for sale.

I loved them in the winter time. The houses were so warm and smelled so good. Most had a regular stove for warm weather cooking.
