This is a picture from about five years ago. Mom is taking care of her bird feeders. She put up three feeder racks outside her window of the porch that she used as her home here in my father's house. About once a month she bought several large bags of feed and made her blend for the birds.I have stopped feeding the birds but I am keeping her grapes growing and making my dad keep the bird bath filled.
I asked Mom what her favorite movie was in the last years of her life and it was "Walt Disney's Incredible Journey." She liked the new version with the actors doing voice overs better than the first one with just narration that she barely remembered. We had a dog out in Berkeley that we could not give away because he kept having Incredible Journeys. He was a poodle cocker mix who adopted Mom while she was a vendor and we tried to give away several times but he kept finding us again. While we were in Wisconsin Viola stuffed him inside a gas oven and euthanised him. She then backed over him with a car. "M-O-P-P rag mopp" was what mom called him, Mopp for short. Viola was mad because he had made it so we could not find a place to live since we exceeded the number of dogs most landlords would allow by one.
