Let ther be HEAT



It seems that after 31 years of service, our furnace refused to light. A few weeks ago, I went down to light the pilot and it would not light. We had someone coma and give us a bid for a new furnace and also putting in central air. It was more that I wanted, but need to do something. Mom came home and had found out that RC Willey does furnaces and ac units. We had them come and give us a bid and it was about $1,000.00 lest than the other bid and I felt better about the price. So last week, we had them put in a 95% efficient furnace (we will also get some rebates on it tOO). We also had them run the ductwork into the new addition so it will heat and cool better. It has been nice so far. I am sure it will also be nicer in the summer.

For the birds


The male kestrel died on Saturday. The vet does not know why they both got sick at the same time. The meds we gave them did not help. Mom is really sad.

On Saterday, we went trapping for new birds. We saw a few, but did not catch any. We only had one come down, but it did not get on the trap. We will go out again this week.
