HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a week of joyful, serene summer days.
I posted a couple of replies at the end of last week's thread. I read with interest all of your news throughout the week, and I apologize for not replying to everyone. I've been ill this week, and I haven't accomplished much of anything. Sorry, folks, for this negative start to the thread. I usually try to write a positive post.
Have a good week, all.
RUSTY: I enjoyed the account of your visit to the tern colony. Wish I could have been there. I'd like to see it. Sorry about the thieving magpie.
Bjane: I hope you are breathing okay. I saw photos of Iowa that were ghastly. If I recall correctly, you have air conditioning. Stay indoors. For those who don't know: Dangerous air quality and low visibility have once again settled on the Midwest due to the vast Canadian wildfires. Chicago had the worst air quality on earth today. Parts of Indiana reached Code Purple. Air quality in my own area was at 212 today. Which is "very unhealthy for all people." That's why I was worried about bjane.
