HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy week. Not much summer left now.
Here's a photo--taken by Indiana's official state photographer--showing one of our Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds.
Also, I found out that my hometown area (which is about an hour north of where I live now) has a breeding pair of Mississippi Kites. These aerial raptors normally reside in the deep south, and Indiana has only a few pair in the entire state. Click the arrows to see all three photos if you're interested. Take care and be strong, all.
Our cat had the same, PAT! I looked online and there is a fish called the Southern Blue Whiting, similar to a small cod and quite highly prized where AQ is.
Just switched to my phone so I can show the nearly finished puzzle: lots of jars, packet, & bottles showing the packaging of yesteryear.
Good afternoon. Update: J is off work – aching limbs, no fever, no cough, no loss of smell and taste, thankfully. I am aching all over, not just the normal pains and very lethargic; leg thingy is improving. E-E is fed up with both of us, but also not quite himself. Weather – slowly improving – dry but cooler today. Hairdresser has been and the haircut and the general chat have made me feel a bit better. She has cut it back shorter so I am hoping there isn’t enough to develop curls this time! AQ – loved the quote about chickens not having to explain why they cross the road! LINDA – that looks a good jigsaw, but sad about Bonnie’s contribution! I am sure the neighbours will be okay – just sounds like that oft-quoted “the dog ate my homework”! We finished the Elders’ alterations to the Ch Mag yesterday so OH will print Saturday morning then we shall have a quiet weekend. Two very late items which appeared yesterday I am holding over for the next one – they are both titled September and October, so it won’t matter.
Heather B said:Oh dear, LINDY - hope your neighbours will be understanding! Do they have dogs?
No, they don't, but they're always happy to pat ours and say that they're used to dogs. However..... My OH went on a rant & said that we should never have borrowed the puzzle, and this is what happens, etc. etc. I said not much, and held my tongue as I suspect that it was probably his large elbow which knocked some pieces onto the floor.
This afternoon, found an exact same puzzle on Amazon so we can replace it. We will then keep the defective one. Meanwhile, the neighbours are not here this week to ask if we've had a go at it, yet. Just as well.
