It wasn’t what I thought the noise was all about Sunday morning. The saw was buzzing and John was in full work mode. I thought for sure he was cutting something for the new home he is building for a client. A part of me let out a sigh.
Spring, summer, and fall is the busiest season for anyone in construction. Sometimes I can feel lonely with John’s schedule so full. While at the same time I feel blessed that he has work and that he loves what he does.
So I kept busy in the kitchen cooking up the meal for dinner, which I often like to have prepped ahead of time on the weekends so we can enjoy time out on the deck come early evening.
Just as I finished making the casserole John popped up outside the screen door with a big grin and holding a birdhouse. My thought had been wrong. Here he was making another birdhouse for our bird haven that continues to expand each year.
Seems someone besides me has caught bird fever. 🙂
As I write this post he is whipping out yet another birdhouse. He had asked me where we might have room for another one. I said I wasn’t sure, but that we could walk around the yard to check it out. But he opted for just going ahead and making another one. I’m sure we will find somewhere to put it. No doubt.
Lucky birds. Lucky me. Blessed us. Suddenly I no longer feel so lonely.
