Painful & slowly the circle of life turns. As it circumnavigates it's predefined pathway, we move by life, death, love, happiness, despair, depression and all the emotions and milestones of life. It feels as if our circle is ever slowly moving. Trying to recycle back to birth or creation. Leaving the cold icy grip of death.
Well we had a visit from our friendly (NOT!) raccoon again. Around mid-night, the raccoon was able to reach inside the cage and mangle the right wing of one of our new birds. We were able to scare it away and move them inside. The new bird's right wing was really mangled but she was able to survive. So this morning, I bought much smaller vinyl covered mesh. Jasmine and I installed the new mesh inside the old bigger mesh. We also set the cage on new concrete post supports to get it further off the ground.
The big thing was how Jasmine came home from a sleep over and decided to help install the new mesh and clean out the cage. I asked her to help clean out the cage, but she also helped with sizing and installing the mesh. This took about 3 hours to do and it was probably about 78F with no breeze. We talked and worked together. It was a great project. She even skipped a block party invitation to help finish up with the concrete post supports.
I am heartened that we were able to just talk during this project. Again... the circle is slowly turning.
I'm really excited. We are 1 day away from posting the 1st segment of Alicia's memorial service video on YouTube. When it is ready, I'll post the link (URL) to share. The video is 10 minutes long and was lovingly edits by a very good friend, Rick. He was gracious with his talents and time to help with this video and subsequent ones.
