I've enjoyed seeing your mushrooms and thought of these posts yesterday. We finally had a few popping up, after a rare rainfall.

They are such great birds.

thank you!

Had a large spinal meningioma in 2014 (removed) and thought I would end up in a wheelchair. Was a years-long ordeal with progressive loss of function.

The surgery 'fixed me' (miraculous) and now I hike any chance I can get! Walking is the miracle.

Keep going.

The snake trails we see from the bigger gals are a little more sinuous that what this cutey was doing. It's strange to think about moving in such an undulating way, and straight ahead.

Pool looks good. We had a roaming vacuum, way back in Indiana, I recall the algae learned to grow in the corners.

But about Patch. Do the neighbors see him? Is your family on nextdoor-do you compare notes? Is that his official name?

He's a cutey. What do you do when he shows up, besides photos?

During the original STV run we were lost in grief, saw some episodes, not all. 20+ years later we watch the series end-to-end. What tremendous writing, acting, chemistry.

And, I'm so delighted how much the Doctor loves Italian opera. References here, there, everywhere. (a beautiful voice to boot.)

here's one of the babies in so cal

Thank you very much!!! :) :)
