@ess77 I’m happy you enjoy our Big Blue! The size of the fish that character drags in always impresses us!! He/she stands absolutely still for an hour just watching for a fish! Then with lightening speed makes a stab for it! One day he was hunting, nabbed a big fish, laid it on the shore to process it! A huge mommy eagle swooped down and flew off with it!! 😲

I’m sorry for not having the chance to write back for awhile. I’ve been absorbed in projects that had a timeline. But I’ve certainly been following your postings. Elizabeth I swear you’re just unstoppable! I keep up with reading what you’re going through on a daily basis health-wise and then you still have all this energy to tend your birds, take on house projects, care for your son and keep encouraging the rest of us to keep on going...with blessings! So when I see you’re heading to bed at 5:35 I’m feeling better that you are listening to your body and taking good care of yourself.
This holiday weekend we are blessed to have our daughter, son-in-law and their old English Bulldog staying with us for 5 days. It’s been over 10 months since we’ve seen them. So we’re having a glorious reunion and making up for lost time. My daughter and I are incredibly close and share the same eccentricities, artiness and distracted behavior. Hahaha! Our poor husbands... Thankfully our son-in-law and husband get along great and are otherwise occupied.
Because of my transplant, I’m still banned from doing any gardening to minimize dangers from fungal infections. So my daughter planted the pots and window boxes for me. We grabbed our watercolors for a little ‘brush up’ on skills. I’ve been involved in book/journal making and had several to make for bday gifts. I’ve also had a number of baby blankets to sew for 3 of the young Chemo nurses who became like daughters over my 8 weeks’ stay at our local hospital. It’s like everything comes at one time. ☺️ And now it’s dinnertime. No fish for us today...it’s for the Blue Heron!
Sweet dreams. Fondly, Lori.
