@loribmt, @@artist01, @jakedduck1. @becsbuddy and all...Aw...Now, that's my part of the country....our very dangerous dinosaurs of the water, gators! Lori, is your hubby tired of you? Better ck to see if there's a young blond in the wings...for him to urge you into the water to get closer. You probably would have been good eatins'.

They really are quite dangerous you know, and they really do taste like chicken, but better. They aren't endangered anymore, We did such a good job protecting them, .they can be hunted now by licensed hunters, and are on the menu throughout the state. Kind of interesting fellows, really.

Glad to touch base, folks. Still not on the computer much, but beginning to catch up as I'm finally getting stronger. The probiotic 'prescribed' by the Integrated Medicine doc. I bought it online, used to be sold on the Mayo Store site. The first day after taking it, I felt better. 2nd day, no more issues, and I began to feel actually energy, went walking in the Mayo buildings again, for the first time in several months. Walking.

I've cleaned several feeders today and filled/ hung them. I watched the tree rats and now, praises, the real rats on the patio eating the seed. Yes, I now have nasty, infection-ridden real rats, again. This happens when I hang feeders. They found me again. Soon, if I don't kill them, I'll be hearing them in the attic and/or walls! It's a really difficult problem for me, as I hate to kill them or put out poison due to Samantha enjoying the patio and I don't want other animals to eat it. But, I'll keep her inside and put out poison tomorrow.

Thank the good Lord I'm feeling better. Finally. And now, Rob is having problems. and, so it goes in chilly, soon to be warm next few days, and then soon to be very cold this weekend... Florida.

Blessings all. Elizabeth
