I have been home the last 2 days with some kind of "bug" and, am finally feeling better. Not sure what it was but, I generally felt achy, bloated and nauseous. Mary has been her usual attentive self and took great care of me (ie; "Mary, can you dress me?")
We did walk outside for a few minutes yesterday afternoon and we found some owl activity:
Owl down ..... Extra fluffy. We found a number of these little tufts in the yard near the drive and later saw some floating down onto the deck.
Owl pellet ..... maybe a mouse? We find these in the yard under the cherry tree quite often. I once found a really nice one and put it in a zip lock for safe keeping but, Mary threw it out!
Blue Jay feather. Jays are a Barred Owl favorite. We find feathers in the yard often and they range from the jays to Titmice, Nuthatch and Sparrows. Well, the camera is probably down for the hatching season .... Not sure what happened but, it is too late to climb up there to fix it. Mother owl would not take kindly to me invading the nest. Our only hope is that one of the 2 sets of wire connections in the yard is unplugged. The snow is leaving and we should be able to check the connections soon.
I hope to feel ambitious enough tomorrow afternoon to go out for a bike ride. It is supposed to be nice again tomorrow (near 60F!). This will be the 2nd outing since the "crash" and I will probably take the Sugar out for several laps around the block. So far my recovery is going pretty good .... I have been using the rubber band and weights to get my range of motion and strength back. There are some "dead zones" in my ranges of motion that I need to concentrate on. It is always going to feel like there is a plate in there (unless I choose to have it removed).
Not much else to report .... Mary says "Hi"
Dave.
