These tracks don't lie!  My big Kimball piano is gone!  Posting it on a freecycle group,  someone spotted it, and decided they would like it.  I really liked it, but didn't have the time to play.   It didn't seem right to be just sitting there unused.  Especially since I had just got it tuned.  I hope the new owners really enjoy it.   It was over 100 years old!

Thanks to a friend of mine with an over abundance of tomatoes,  I now have made over a dozen quarts of tomato sauce.   I didn't think I would get any this year, as actually going out and picking them  wasn't happening.  I thought I planted enough to do something with, but they aren't cooperating!   My peppers are but penny size.  I hear that it will warm up this week, so maybe as a last effort they will pop out.

As we were sitting down to breakfast yesterday,   I saw one of the cats playing with a new "toy".  At first I thought it was a frog.   I went out to scat him away because he was right infront of the window where we were trying to eat.   I discovered it was a small chickadee.   It was still very much alive.  I grabbed that cat around it's neck and it dropped out of it's mouth.  I scooped the small bird up in my apron, not knowing what to do with it.    At first I was going to take it far into the brush so it could collect itself and then fly away, possibly.   But as I was looking at it, it seemed soaking wet from the cat's mouth.   I thought it would surely freeze.   I went out back and grabbed a bird cage that I had hanging for decoration in the backyard.   Jess had bought  it a long time ago at a yard sale and we never got rid of it.   Thankfully!  It came in handy yesterday as I put some dry hay and then the bird in it.   I  left it in our mudroom while we were at church to dry out.   When we got home about noon we found it flitting around and ready to go!
