Last whistle? Dixon Bb- trying to fit whistle keys to some music in the hymnal
instrument wish? Voice, with Fiddle(not violin
)a close second
favorite furniture? anything designed by Gustav Stickley- that I own? a great big old Morris Chair!
wake up time? about 6:30 and within 5 minutes I was chasing cattle into the working pens- we sold calves today. Then I had to get ready to go to work. Not a good morning.
I wish I lived here, but up the "holler" at what we call "the bear den". It's right in the middle of our farm and no neighbors would be within hearing or sight. Then I could become the hermit I've always wanted to be.
song? All Creatures of our God and King
pets? 6 dogs at present- our old cockatiel died recently and I gave the younger one to a family that were retired and had lots of time to give him extra attention so just the 6 dogs on this day- this could change at any time.
Cooperman whistle?
Mood? Depressed, stressed, worried and very tired from working ALL the time- my usual state
Boredom? I am NEVER bored(see above)

One. A conure.
A conure is a small, noisy bird from South America. Mine has a loud, peircing call and a little black beak, the LBB, for short. She can outshout any musical instument.
I try *not* to confuse the two, as the cushion is very, very quiet and the conure doesn't like to be sat on.
