All the snow is gone from the cabin. There are a few large piles lurking here and there, around the golf course, in some front lawns, barely visible under a layer of dirt. There was a little patch in front when we arrived Memorial Day weekend, about a foot or so long and six inches wide, and about that tall in the middle, but when I went to take a picture the next day, it had melted. And with the hot days in the valley, fast-forwarding through spring as usual, it's time for a new pic. The problem is...it's been so long I don't remember how to change it!
Jake - the "One Person Bird"
I need to find my sweet Jake a home. He needs someone who understands birds, especially demanding and needy male birds. He needs to be the only bird in the home. Maybe it would be easier to find sweet Sunny a home. She isn't as affectionate--she does like her head to be scratched--but she isn't as interactive as Jake. He can be so endearing when he's not intent on building a nest for Sunny. But he is a one-person bird. And that doesn't go over well with the guys in my household. (I know, they are jealous! lol) I tried to post an ad on Craigslist and pulled it after about 30 minutes. I had to take him to work the other day. In a raging hormone fit of passion, he attacked me when I was petting Sunny. Hours later, after separating them and he was calm, he was back to his kissy sweet self. I took him to work and left him in the car in shade with the windows down until the temp reached mid-80's in the car. I took him to lunch with me and dined on an outdoor patio! Then I hid him under my desk at work under a blanket where he got some much needed rest for four hours. Last night, I put the two birds back together and today it seems he could easily be in that same mood again. I've got too many meetings today to take him to work again. I thought about putting him at Dad's, but birds need a solid 8 hours dark and quiet a night, and Dad runs his TV 24/7. Loudly.
Gotta run. Story of my life.

From your xanga base you'll see weblog, photos, etc. and profile. Go there and under your current pic you can add new pics or edit the current one.
@PrincessFiveandDime - Thanks! It seemed to work but I don't see it.
It's a pic of your cabin right?
Oh, I see someone else got here with the info already.
Hope Jake calms down. Have you tried calling a vet for advice?
Too bad I already have a need one person bird.
