Happy Birthday, Emberskye
So glad you were born.   



I believe that the weather of the past two days has been superb.  I can't imagine it much better.  Perfect.  
There are several different birds in today's rookery photos.  There were two heron and several ducks that I have to magnify and look up.  I really want a bigger lens.   I'm giving Gary back his camera Friday and I will have to go to B and H next week and figure out how to get a one fixed.  I want the Pentax mainly because I want the bigger lenses back.  Can you find the 2 turtles in these photos?




Patrick went down into Sherry's land  and found the quartz rock he wants to pull out.  It is gorgeous.  


We took a drive all the way up to Guilford along the Green River.  It was lovely.   We went into the town of Green River, too.  It's all so remote even though  we're only 5 miles away from our everyday lives.   The vistas just open up a little bit more and the forest feels a little thicker. Mid-June and everything is green and brown and I'm telling you, today the temperature was perfect.   I didn't get everything done I wanted to, but I took a wonderful ride with a very sweet friend.

The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...
