They call this Spring???

Heck it's not going to get out of the 20's today.

I'll tell you one thing, these Catholic churches sure have rules on about everything. The kids have to do at least 3 1/2 hours of community service. Well it took our grandkid more than that to put together and paint all 5 birdhouses. In the picture, while waiting for the paint to dry, we hadn't yet put on the short dowel rods the birdies stand on. Nor the chain to attach it to a tree's branch. They all came out mighty-fine.

Then it was a lunch of pizza and root-beer floats.

I mentioned that he's autistic. Which is why he can focus on a single thing. A half hour didn't go by when he wasn't talking about soda pop. What kind we have, what we need to buy, and how much we pay for it. He also has lots and lots of T-shirts with different brand names of pop on them. The shirt he wore yesterday said Mountain-Dew. Oh well, he's a good kid.

It was funny; I went out of the room once. While gone, he asked Kathi that since it was cold and snowing outside, why was I wearing shorts.

Hey, I'm his crazy grandpa.
