An Interesting Hair Cut – Today – After Supper

 

 

Last Friday evening (May 18), Cerwin told me to get my camera, because Nate was giving Justin a hair cut on our patio.

I was in the middle of doing something in the office, so asked him to take pictures.

 

 

Nate are you sure this is the kind of hair cut Justin wants?

 

 

When I saw him, I asked, “Justin, what are you doing?” He said this was for a softball game the next day.

 

 

These pictures are from Keziah Heisey’s FaceBook (with her permission). Thank you!

 

 

He not only has a mohawk, he sprayed it green.

 

 

 

 

When he was here the next day (enjoying the man cave with our grandsons and friends) he was totally shaved. He said he didn’t want to go to church like that.

 

 

Today

Today we helped to clean out another house. This time for another son and daughter-in-law – Jere and Kristen.

We were going to help Jeff and Chris this afternoon, but they are a place today where they didn’t need extra help in getting ready for their auction here (and Jeff needed to work in their hayfield), so we stayed with Jere and Kristen.

The owner of this house, Elwood, is a ninety-two year old friend of theirs. Jere and Kristen have been assisting him and his handicapped son (in his sixties) since Elwood’s wife died several years ago when their car lit on fire while they were driving. Greg (son) is in assisted living in a group home and Elwood recently moved to an elder care facility. It is Jere and Kristen’s responsibility to clean out the house, prepare the items for auction, and eventually fix up the house for sale or rent. (More photos in another post.)

 

 

On the way home we stopped at a roadside stand, for local strawberries, but they were sold out so we settled for new potatoes (not local), sugar peas (local), and strawberry shortcake (homemade by the stand owner) – hoping to find strawberries at another place.

 

 

We saw strawberries here as we drove by, and quickly stopped and backed up. I love these little stands.

 

 

 

 

Notice the note on the bottom left. I love living in an area where people are trusted. We put $3.50 in the blue box and headed home – without seeing anyone at this stand.

 

 

I tipped the sugar peas and started cooking a few potatoes (no meat tonight). There are enough of both for Sunday lunch.

 

 

The shortcake was perfect with the delicious (picked today) strawberries and a bit of vanilla ice cream.

 

 

Oh, yum!

After Supper

A pretty catbird waiting for me to refill the feeders.

 

 

 

 

The brown-headed cowbird looks like he is hungry too.

 

 

I think the downy woodpecker was watching too, because I had barely walked away from filling the log holes with suet when she arrived.

 

I will fill the other feeders tomorrow because we had a chance of severe thunderstorms, wind, and hail until 8:30 tonight. There is still some seed in the bigger feeders and on the ground – they won’t starve.  

The storm bypassed us, but we could hear thunder rumbling in the area.
