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.
Hallo all: Painting done! Hurray. No more workmen on our doorstep at 8 a.m.
Lindybird: What a carry on - great you can replace the jigsaw (will you open it and put it in the old box?) :-)) I bet if you tell the neighbors what happened, they'll say 'you shouldn't have' but will appreciate the new one anyway.
OG: Poor all of you. Do hope whatever it is, it doesn't stick around.
AQ: I passed on the quote about chickens to my BiL and other family members in the UK who thought it was hysterical. My BiL (being the curmudgeon he is) shot back 'we cannot let chickens impede our right to free access to our highways without knowing their reasons!" Cue family eye-rolls. :-))
While my OH was in the shower, I moved an armchair and ottoman plus a side table into the garage. They've been parked in the middle of the kitchen for a week. So far he hasn't noticed.....
HEATHER – Of the whiting varieties, our state prefers the King George whiting. It has white light fine-flaked flesh with a delicate flavour. Found off the coast of southern Aussieland.
LINDA – You will have to send Bonnie to Dau for retraining. Toby knows he must not touch anything on the floor, definitely not the Trio’s toys – he has his own.
OG – I hope you are all much better now. I envy you with curls. My hair has always been boring dead straight. My mother would tie it up in twists of newspaper on Saturday nights but the ringlets had dropped out before we reached church.
PAT – Our weekly sheet has become a reminder of the latest restrictions. The latest? Places with “crowds” such as pubs, churches have to have a “covid marshall” to guide people into doing the right thing, social distancing, etc. They have no authority but I assume can ring the police if people behave badly.
ANNETTE – I predict days before someone notices changes in your kitchen!
Beautiful sunny spring day, expecting 25 C max. Breezy, so I have gathered everything I can to wash. Except what OH is wearing. Apparently they are not dirty enough yet.
Just a thought

Annette: Don't know whether you're still up. United Launch Alliance is going to launch one of those massive Delta IV Heavy Rockets. Coverage begins as 10:52 p.m. California time. See HERE.
Annette: Nevermind. The rocket's engines didn't come on and the thing caught fire and flamed out in a whoosh. Mission aborted.
