Good morning All. I hope you have a satisfying & enjoyable day.
So sorry to hear about your friend. Cancer is an awful disease. They're making inroads with cures, but it's coming so darned slowly.
You've probably already told us, but this old brain can't remember - what kind of back surgery is your husband having? Fingers crossed for him that it goes well.
Earlier I mentioned The New "What Do You Look Like" Thread. Here's a link to it:

Yeah, we do sort of worm our way under your skin, huh?
Today is Shopping day for me. I'll hurry up and take care of all the animals, then go for my weekly trip into town. Anyone want me to bring them back something from the store?
Morning all.
Got up early and put a few kayaking miles in on the close by reservoir. Calm, peaceful, wonderful. Very still this morning with wisps of low hanging fog riding up into the rising sunlight. I paddled close to the shoreline, enjoying the cool shady waters - but on the way back, not as fortunate. Blinding sun, hot and humid. A quick two hour paddle followed by a grocery stop for Sully. Four or five opuntia cactus fruit (tuna), a few bags of dandelions, a summer squash.
Gonna be hot, Hot and HOT today...
Enjoy.

Good morning from Eastern TN USA.
He looks so perky!
Good evenooning everyone.
I have a few photos of our tinies today.
Starting with House Sparrows. The biggest in this nest was admitted on Sunday and is about a week old.
The other three were admitted this morning with the smallest hatching on the journey in and so it would be about 3 hours old
And this House Sparrow looked like those last week. It’s about a fortnight old
Then we have a 2-3 week old wren
And a Goldfinch that also started as a pink hatchling and is a couple of weeks old. It’s grown and feathered a lot since Monday
Other admissions included hedgehogs, a buzzard, a couple of kestrels and field vole mum with her brood.
A builder found the nest in a bucket in his van when he got to a job this morning, apologised to his customer and drove them straight to us. He returned to the customer after dropping them off .

Hi Yvonne!!
I believe the surgery is called ACDF?
They will go thru the front of his neck and clean out vertebrae that is causing a pinched nerves and doing some fusing.
I guess he can’t drive for weeks so I’ll be his chauffeur to work and back. His office is only 10 minutes away.

That’s a beauty! I’m so jealous. It’s a shame they don’t live long, they would truly be one of the terrors of the insect world... more than they are already

Are they relatively calm around you?

No, that's the current one. It gets lost in the shuffle. Maybe I should pin it somewhere
A good hot humid day to split some wood with the new log splitter.
Some pix of the process...
The splitter is a manual hydraulic press that methodically brings a piston into the log forcing it into a steel wedge. Slow and steady. Works well!

Do you ever use the trusty old axe?
