I’m off to studying a bit of French... Il n’est pas cinq heures...

Not see you all later!

All your photos have been really good but I think this one is my favorite.

Can you see me now??

Am I seeing a little curly tail?

I like the name! We have a “Tip” here. They turned a corner of it into a shop, and one can find very interesting things there sometimes.

Maybe the tip is like our thrift shops. We can donate to them and they resale them. Some of them hire disabled people or other people that need some help with a job. And it doesn't go to a landfill.

That's true, they don't forget. I also reared a finch one year and released him in my garden. For weeks after he used to come and sit on my bedroom window when I was upstairs, and when I was pegging washing out he would fly down and sit on the line close to me. He would even fly down to sit on my hand if I was in the garden.
He stopped coming one day and I just hope it was because he moved on and not because a cat got him.

I know that feeling. You want to keep them safe...just think of it being a soft release back into the wild.

I’m suffering from a sudden bout of tinnitus today. Google tells me the common causes are coffee, stress, and alcohol. [emoji85] I should start a blog with that name.

I've never heard that one...coffee and beer are good medicine...that's what I heard. Google needs to catch up and watch the news.

I thought it was from loud noises during the past part of your life, like having the speakers to loud on your headset when listening to rock and roll.

I don't use a headset any more...and I still like rock and roll...and any good music.hehehe. I'll turn up the speakers and play Beethoven for my neighbors.

Lovely ! I like those. When I find one in my garden I give him or her a nice soak and then release agian. The last hot summer in Germany I put out some plant saucers with water for toads and birds etc.

That's such a good idea. The saucers for terra cottas placed around in my flower beds would work. And hold some moisture in when it gets dry.

So voting is done, only took 2 hours, so not bad all in all. Got home and was making supper when I saw these outside. So I had to take a photo for you guys. View attachment 271700View attachment 271701

I love those pictures. Sorry it took so long to vote but sometimes when you're standing in line it can be fun. But back to those neat looking pictures. I was just wondering what kind of birds they are.

We got hit by an onslaught of tornados today... I came home to a lot of tree’s down ( a couple on my fences[emoji35]) and no power.. we still have no power but the basics are covered by the generator.. we were fortunate compared to others in the neighborhood. Son and I took a ride to see some calm after the storm. It’s good to focus on the beauty in life

Oh my. . . tornadoes and hurricanes - not my cup of tea.

Lol. Thank you. As far as I know, they are crows. Apparently very intelligent birds.

That does look rather peaceful and beautiful. So sorry about your fences. I hope there is not too much damage around the neighbourhood.
