THE WOODPECKER


Don't settle for easy answers in life.

We have a yard full of nice trees for our woodpecker to peck away at.  He is pecking at the top of our back wall.  It was so loud we thought he was in the house.  Finally found the hole he was creating and it was coming into our closet in our bedroom.

Dad put together some thing to stick out the whole and strength the wood around it.
He was sure he had found the answer.

The only trouble was climbing up a ladder inside the closet and try to reach behind the inner wall to stop the problem.  All was going fine until he fell off the ladder and fortunately just got a few bruises and a cut on his arm.

Any fall at our age shakes you up.

That was Wed.  Today he was getting things ready if Oliver stopped by and in making it better for him he was able to block the hole. 

This was a happy experience for us both.

We did my lesson together which was about forgiveness.

We all have made mistakes and said things we do not mean.

We have been learning more about being forgiving that deepens our love for each other.

Have you guys thought of having someone come out and do some exterior work on the house, including some painting? It is looking a little sad these days. If the wood is soft enough for a hole to be made like that I am sure there must be other spots.

Any word on if we are going to see Jayne or not?

We have some woodpeckers who try and peck holes in our siding and it's not even real wood! Silly creatures when the good stuff is so close by.
