Things are going very well. I've been very busy. We had a guy leave us a card on our door the other day for roof repair. We do so need a new roof. It said very little cost so Chris called him up. He came over the other day and looked at the damage we had. He said the insurance should handle most of it and we'd have to pay very little but it all hinges on if the Insurance wants to work with us. So he and Chris called them and they will come have a look. Let's pray it all goes well because we REALLY need a new roof. The guy left us a neat book with different color singles. I'm between the green and the blue. I can't make up my mind. I've started doing a photoshop of our house to get an idea. It's very exciting but I hope the insurance will work with us and not be jerks.

Calzephyr, thanks so much for the awesome birthday card. I loved the little tabs and stamps too. Always useful. And 3 out of 4 budgies approve of your art.



I loved it. It's Minion ready to party. Emma really loved it too. I think she thought it was her. Nitro was the only one that didn't like it. Always a critic in very bunch ha ha. But Emma, Whitey and Minion all looked. But yeah the drawing is my fave thing.

And I have finally managed to capture a decent video of Whitey talking. Female budgies don't usually talk and if they do they have very small vocabularies with bad pronunciation. That's whitey. She says around 9 words and not very well. Still it was a total surprise to me the other day when I heard her say "Whitey".

What a cute art of Minion. That's cute how Minion and Emma are both interested in it. And I just noticed Whitey at the last second looking at it too. She's been a big source of super budgie cuteness today.

I hope you can get your new roof. I hope you can narrow it down between green and blue.

I LOVE that art. Yes all of them looked and were curious except Nitro back there who was annoyed. Yep White looked too. She was slow getting over.

Here are the colors.

I'm between the Chateau Green and Harbor Blue. Leaning towards the green and do plan to paint the house because it's ugly brown tan. Booooring. I kinda want to do each wall in a different color. I'm open to suggestions. Choice three is Shasta white. Chris said it's totally up to me. He doesn't know. Well I don't totally know either. I like the green though.

I think the blue matches your turquoise door better.

Only at the moment. I will repaint the whole house. Or try to anyway.

Awwww! I'm glad your card arrived quickly and thank you so much for taking a picture of it with the budgies. I scanned it beforehand, so I'll do up a larger version.

I love Whitey's little chatter. Mellow wasn't very chatty, but she could trill and made a low battery sound (she used to live in a hotel).

Good luck with the roof! We paid extra to have the 30 or 35 year shingles if I recall right. We went with grey in case we wanted to change the colour of the trim later.

I wanted to get their first reaction to the art. Oh good I'm glad you have a copy of it. It's an awesome budgie drawing.

Yeah Bullet would warble too. It's cute when females sing.

Thanks. Yeah I definitely want to change the trim and soffit to white.

Aw that’s good Minion art. Ha, they’ve all gathered up to see the work of art. Perhaps you should set up a budgie art museum for them.

I think green will look best as the roof, but then again I’m pretty biased cuz green is one of my fave colors. I suppose it depends on which looks more complimenting.

Yes, most of us approve. Ha except Nitro. I don't know what his problem is. Ha, that would be funny. Budgies in an art museum. Perhaps something for the planet Budgelon in my story.

Yeah I really like the green. I think the house can be painted to match the roof or anyway I want. It's one of the wonderful things about being an adult.
