TK, happy to see your HUG has been downgraded !!

besides the TN, the hug is at the top of the MS-stuff I like least.

here's a very gentle

yes, I'm grateful to be surrounded by nature constantly.

I try to take the bad (wildcats, snakes, bugs) with the GOOD (flocks of noisy chattering Aztec parakeets, a GORGEOUS pair of Green Jays, an Egret, and some FABULOUS Kiskidees, all spotted on this morning's animal-feeding rounds)

I think maybe I see all these things because I move quietly and slowly (I promise, no more HURRYING!)

I'm glad you had a good time fishing, honey, and hope you get to go OFTEN.

fresh fish is one of my very favorite meals... when it's just-caught, all it needs is a little salt, and butter, and OOOOOOOH-WHEE, MAMA !!
