@becsbuddy, @artist01, @jakedduck1, @joohnbishop, and all...Did your son enjoy Melbourne? I generally enjoy this beautiful state less as you go south, due to the heavier sunshine and heat, and sunburn possibilities. I had years of toasting in the sun, poolside and beachside, using iodine and baby oil mixed to really sizzle your skin. It did and I stay out of the sun now. Enjoy the weather, the sunshine, and pretty much all of the joys of Florida life, except the insects and snakes...but, as I said, we do learn to deal with them. My mosquito zapper on the patio is working well on anything that flies. As is the one I have in the kitchen/den area for the fliers that come inside with the patio doors open or whatever. It works well and I hear it zap every once in a while. Love it!

I have water on the patio for the birds and squirrels and the rainy season is a challenge. But, these electric and solar zappers are pretty good.

That big bird in silhouette is a Mockingbird or a fluffy Crossbeak. Not sure, but I have a couple of huge Mockingbirds that are so pretty. I think I mentioned a new nest in my mailbox. I think it's been abandoned. Don't see any activity. It may be too noisy and busy with the mailman, packages, deliveries, Rob, and me. I'm not so active of course, but it is right beside the door, so I think it's a no-go. Too bad.

I hoped to get outside today for a short walk with my walker. Didn't happen. It got up to 80ish and I was stuck inside due to insomnia last night. Having some o that these days. Could be vasculitis and discomfort, or Parkinson's. Don't know, don't care. Just have to get my long rests in or Bethie's a cross girl. To bed tonight in about half-hour..

See the rheumatologist Wed and lots of bloodwork and tests. I'm taking empty bottles of supplements to see what he says. Hope he approves. Hate not to take what I have! Tomorrow is another window company for a quote. Pray for me, please!

I hope you folks all get outside and enjoy the freshness of the world. Bless you, all. Elizabeth
