It was a hot day today; It was 92 degrees here in CC. I put the air conditioner on and it felt good. I'm glad I wasn't in Vineland; I don't have the window units put in the windows yet. I'll have to have my brother come down and put them in.

I walked Danny after I unloaded the car. He has a new friend named Barley. Barley is a real cute little dog. Barley's owners are Rex and Kay. They live over on Mallard Drive.

I watered some of my plants that I put in last week. They look rather wilted. I brought a shelf from Vld. It's called an oven rack. I put it in the blue bedroom and got the plants up off the floor. It looks a lot better.

When I got here, I found a dead Carolina Wren on my kitchen floor. It left droppings all over the house that I had to clean up. I think it came in the dryer vent. I don't have the dryer hooked up and the flap wasn't closed properly. It probably came in looking for a place to build a nest and then couldn't find it;s way out. Birds need a lot of food. It most likely starved to death. I took some lint out of the vent but I'll have to make sure it closes better. I put a bird house out back I wish the bird had gone in there.

These critters are driving me crazy. I just hope a snake doesn't come in. My neighbor had a snake in her kitchen. My neighbors on both sides are having trouble with mice. I haven't had any since I plugged up the holes with steel wool and expansion foam. I did find another hole where the gas line comes into the furnace I'll have to get more steel wool and plug that one up.

HI there. Last week I walked into our fifthwheel and saw my cat jumping up and down. There on the ceiling fan sat a bird. I got Len who got his fishing net. We came back in and found it behind my recliner. Len swooped the net over the bird but in doing so he must have hit it with the nets rim. Poor thing died.

We have no idea how a bird ever got into our camper.
