That looks like a great spot for it Olivia!! Trees nearby but not so close the birds can't see it. The bright colors should bring the birds very soon!! It will be fun watching the silly things birds do when they want to be 1st at feeder!! You will find out who the shy birds are & who chases the other birds away!! My mockingbirds have been chasing each other but they are good about sharing the bird bath. It might be fun to get a little notebook & write up all the birds you know by name. We would like to know what kind of birds you have in your area. We also have finches, doves,sparrows & occasionally crows. Lots of hummers but they don't use birdbath, they like me to spray rose leaves & they "bathe" on a leaf! They like sugar water in a feeder also. Jan

Update: Okay I broke down and called the person. My agent had told me already that this person had been writing letters similar to mine in his neighborhood. When I spoke with the man. He told me he was looking for 2 houses, 1 for investment and another a ranch for himself and his wife (my house is a 2 story). He asked what price I was listing it for and what I based it off of. I said off the comps in the neighborhood, completed sales and the houses for sale that were similar. He also asked me if I knew what my house appraised for. Apparently, he is looking for houses that the sale price is below appraisal and market value. He is looking for a short sale, I guess. We live in a nice neighborhood that has a steady flow of sales still and it seems that the values have held. He didn't seem like an interested party to just my house but he said he had sent out a lot of letters in the area. Oh well. I am hoping we sell this house quickly but I still have a lot of work to do like painting, decluttering of 5 people, and sprucing up the outside. It will take me about 3-4 weeks still to get it ready. My dear husband is gone a lot that he won't be able to help. Got to make calls to find a local handyman! Thanks for all the advice.

Moonie, I truly don't think anyone thinks you are lazy or ungrateful. Most everyone, if not entirely everyone understands what it is like to be overwhelmed. I hope your dd will go to the appointment and that it helps. I have a bipolar DGD and know first hand what can be involved and how exhausting it can be. As much as you've been through I hope you will be able to give your dh some much needed emotional support and that he will do the same thing for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and in my prayers. Hugs to all of you. Linda

I have a Maxwell sectional in Italian Brompton Cocoa. I am trying to find a comfortable recliner that will be look same as leather on my sectional. I know Restoration Hardware has a few recliners, but I have heard they are not comfortable (especially if tall). I just can’t justify paying that much for something that isn’t comfortable. The recliner will mainly be used by my husband. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!!
