I had a great visit with Des and Chris last week. They arrived on Halloween afternoon, and they had brought Bullet with them. After they got settled in, we went out to Starbucks and Walgreens. The dragonfruit drink was delicious (Thanks!), and also pretty. I'm glad I didn't spill any of it, because knowing me I would manage to get a unremovable purple stain on my shirt. I didn't though. Then we went to Walgreens where they bought supplies, and I picked up some candy corn. We went to the pond too, and there was a man feeding the geese. Since it was nice weather, there were also turtles out.
We introduced Bullet to Izzy and Rocky on the first day. Izzy and Rocky were very happy to have budgie company, especially Izzy. Bullet flew to their cage too, and all three budgies got to spend some time on top of it after I chased Rocky all over the house. Bullet is so tame compared to him, and she's more tame than Izzy too. She let me pet her, which I loved.
We hiked at Crowder's Mountain the next day. The trail was steep and hard with a lot of rocks. I don't regret not going all the way up. It was cloudy that day, and we were there to see pretty trees. We also saw some little streams that were very nice. There were also nice taxidermies in the visitor center including a cute Great Horned Owl on the mantel of their fireplace.
After we got back, we rested and then did some plant work. Des gave me a ventrata and also showed me how to repot my plants. She also got a cutting off the red leopard she had given me. I hope it roots because it's cute. She also gave me a cute long pink pumpkin, which Mom promptly claimed. I don't mind though. I just want to get seeds out of it. Then I will give some to my aunt, and I hope she can grow one because she has a garden.
I played with Bullet some more that evening, and I let Izzy get on top of her cage. He tried to feed her though the bars.
After Des and Chris went home, I've been laying low because I'm worn out. I stayed in on Saturday, and ran a game of Bible Bingo in my Sunday school class. Mom added two more pumpkins to our porch yesterday. They are squatty pink ones. She's gone to Indiana this week.
