What's outside of your picture window today?

I had a family of wild turkeys this morning. Didn't have my phone in position. Mama followed by 5-6 half-grown babies, Papa taking up the rear. This in addition to scrubjays all day, and a deer eating the cherries off the tree at 11am!

How about 3 fake duckies!

@loribmt
That works for me!!!
Makes your garden come alive.
Your on your way to creating a duck sanctuary.

Had a nice variety and color yesterday. Guess I ought to fill the feeder more often 😂

@loribmt Hi Lori. Beautiful flower photos! Your garden looks awesome. How wonderful to get some rain. We're still suffering a heat wave that sees no end in sight. Had a smattering of rain yesterday but not enough to matter. The temp went down somewhat but tomorrow promises more of the 30-plus Celsius.
I'm truly sick of the noise of my air conditioner! 😥
Aside from all that negativity, I'm still feeling wretched. Good news though. I sourced a company that makes gluten-free, lactose-free home cooked type of meals and delivers! I just received my first order today, pretty much customized to all my dietary restrictions. I know I'll start feeling like my old self again soon, with the proper food in me! Hope you're glowing in the light of all your accolades following that super interview. You are so loved! Hugs, Laurie

Hi Laurie, PLEASE! Let me know about the source you find and how you like the meals. We have been trying to find an option for us and also for our daughters.

@sueinmn Hi Sue. I live on Vancouver Island in Canada, and just looked in the yellow pages of my local phone book under "Meal Delivery". Phoned my way down the list and at the very last one, I found Valley Home Meals, who were the only ones offering gluten-free, lactose-free entrees and soups,
along with their "regular" meals. The meals are dietician approved. They even grow their own seasonal fruits, berries and vegetables, supplemented by supporting local growers. Everything is made from scratch, with no prepackaged mixes, MSG or Preservatives. Meals are packaged in biodegradable containers, cooked, frozen, and ready to reheat in the microwave. I'm not sure where you live but I wish you luck in sourcing out a meal delivery plan for you and your family. I'll be trying my first entree tonight - roast chicken, gravy, carrots and brown rice ( my choices, customized!). I'll let you know how they are. Warmest regards, Laurie

@gingerw and all. that's a great morning for looking out the window, Ginger. Must have been fun to share their space a bit. Love it. I'd be so excited...take care,get stronger and walk! blessings, elizabeth

@johnbishop and all...look at your little rodent's coloration...the stipes are beautiful. Sitll visiting, eh? Looks like you have a lot of sunflower lovers and yes, it does help to keep the feeders filled. I do pretty well, but lately they had to wait for the best and for me to clean the feeders.

John. we've had a very wet spring/summer rains are heavy Want some, @artist01 ? I'll send you some rainwater happpily. I've been having flooding on the patio, got another 2inches today, before noon, and then more in evening. yesterday I was concerned as the downpour left about 2inches within an hour and it sat a while, the ground is so saturated.

Love the results re plants, grass is happy, blooms look good. I took a bunch of pictures this afternoon after taking Rob to doc appt and picking up meds. He has maybe a cracked or bruised rib that's causing a lot of additional pain. I was concerned it was gall bladder or liver....don't think so, and he needed to get to doc.

Love your birds, John. Nice selection. I do have pictures for you of my friends, and of my cute little wire ball filled w/sunflower seeds a few days ago. Not being eaten. Why? They're all sprouting! I will definitely add a fun pic of that!

I have a huge crop of mosquitoes this year. Worse than ever and flies and gnats. and spiders. I open the door to let Sam out for a patio visit, get bitten several places. My antibody levels are low and I am having very bad reactions to these bites. Yesterday, I stayed quite, let he home health nurse in the front door and was bitten with 4 skeeters in just that quick time. I spray OFF on bare skin any time I'm out to water of fill feeders or whatever, and learned to spray the bites. It stops the bite irritation faster than anything, also use cortisone and benadryl cream. Yesterday, took 1 benadryl capsule, fell into bed and slept soundly for over an hour. woke up scratching. Got more bites in bed. So, now I have mosquito invasioin......guess I'll get something to spray. This is bad florida...

Had good weather this week, mid 80's,, not extremely humid amazingly except around rains, but sure is wet. Tomorrow will bring higher heat.

seeing more than double now, blurred and can't see what I'm doing.
will tell you latest dx: pulmonary fibrosis, enlarged main pulmonary artery, pulmonary hypertension, sinus pain, etc improved than you Lord, vasculitis....that's it for now. hope I typed it ok andnyou can understand. I can't see, so blessing to all of you lovely folks and I'll get with you and spend time this week0end on sending pics. You'll be sorry

@ess77. Hi Elizabeth. Yes please, we'd love some of your rain! So sorry you've had flooding and over-saturation though. And mosquitoes! Ugh. I'm over-sensitive to bites too, but we don't have them here in our rain forest. Fact is, this summer we don't even have rain in our rain forest.
Hope tomorrow will be a good day for you.
