August already!
It is the month of many birth
days in our family. Most of the
grandchildren have birthdays
this month.
One of them spent his second
birthday with us and is now
ready to start college in Virginia.
Another grandson has just re
turned from his second trip to
Germany. While two sisters in
Atlanta have birthdays just a
week apart. One of the younger
ones will be eight years old at the
end of the month.
Lately, I’ve noticed that people
are making their own cards. Con
sidering the price of store bought
ones, I can understand why they
would. We have received some
very pretty ones and they are spe
cial because they were made es
pecially for us. Some folks can
use their computers to help them
make these special cards while
others use photographs to en
hance their cards.
We have so many wild animals
in our immediate area. One night
they ate all of the apricots on one
tree and left the ground covered
with seeds. Every night a raccoon
comes into our garage through

in the cat dish. Groundhogs visit
my garden regularly and eat my
vegetables. Something even dug
up the lima bean seeds and ate
them. I enjoy hearing the many
birds that we have but they too
emptied our cherry tree of fruit.
I’ve been told that the answer
to the problem is to grow enough
for yourself and for the animals
too. But, that is easier said then
done as we simply have too many
animals. Each year the opossums
eat my tomatoes and we have to
set a box trap.
