 Purple fish ...  29:26                      94°   (3:57 pm)  Sunny, hazy and breezy ... not bad actually.
 Boat + Sheep ...  35:58

Hi guys ...   I know what you mean, Joho.  My granddaughter, Lauryn, is expecting her first child, a little girl, this summer.  I cannot think of that too long now without picturing the suffering families of Ukraine... good people, just trying to live their lives, just needing some help in continuing to exist.

I do think that even Putin knows that if he 'pushes the button' , before we all disappear, he will get a gift from us too.  I just wish that there were Russians who want to take him out.  I'm sure there are, but are there any in a position to get close to him.

7:06 finally.  Had to shovel twice already here in Ohio by the lake.  Not real heavy, but icy underneath. Cold too 25 and breezy.  I did not sweat at all.
Had to disappoint friends.  No cookie girls anywhere on Friday.  No chowder either. They serve til 7, but ran out of chowder at 4:30 or 5.  Debbie works til after 5.   I get our dinners at about 5:45.  Too late.  If I go any earlier it will get cold.  So oh well. Debbie's two best friends got in trouble with health this week.  One in Kentucky had a stroke behind her left eye that blinded that eye.  She is only a few months from retiring. The other, recently retired, in Florida experienced sudden onset dementia and had to be brought back to Ohio and put into long term care.
Debbie was scared for herself.  She asked me to get my burial set and paid for in case she was not able when the time comes.  She is right, it won't be very long probably.  I will do that tomorrow so she feels better.
I miss my Joanie, and am getting tired of being alone FYI.  If not for our chat and the animal cams my day would be very long and empty indeed.  Covid does not help.
I am getting whiney so I will sign off for a while and play some solitaire.
Keep warm and safe my friends.  Tell all your family and friends you love them every day.  It will brighten their day and yours.

6:17  One of God's most beautiful creations.
 Cold here.  Only 24 degrees and light snow again.
 Nothing to report yet, because it is only first thing Monday morning. Did watch a little of the Oscars last night.  Was surprised how many famous winners and presenters I had never even heard of.  I am out of the loop.  LOL
 Now coffee and cereal.  Only thing on agenda is calling undertaker for my final act plan and pay as Debbie requested.  I am a little vague on what happens if my undertaker can't do his part for some reason?  Will let you know the plan later.  Bye for now.

   Crowned Crane ...   39:17          79°  (2:43 pm)  Heavily overcast, and it may rain. 

Hi Cal and Joho.  Yes, I saw that the Oscars would be on last night and decided to watch them, as I hadn't in years.   I saw a lot of younger people that I didn't recognize - so glad a lot of oldies showed up too.  The most interesting thing of the night was the interaction between Will Smith and Chris Rock.  I realize that violence is never the answer and hurts Will too, but Chris Rock asked for it.  In fact, he did the same sort of thing to Smith and his wife back in 2016.  If anything, I'd say that Will is a slow burn.  jmo.

You are doing what I need to do, Joho ... I plan to be cremated, and need to take care of arranging that and paying for it.  My ashes will be spread at a favorite place of Larry's and mine, out in the desert.  His ashes are already there ... and I will have the ashes of Maddie (Queensland Heeler) and Hansi (Dachshund) put out there with us.

Tasha and more - UPDATE March 28, 2022
Pileated woodpecker
Pileated woodpecker
On March 24, Tasha was out showing how bears can find walking in snow difficult. Ted showed the same thing when he was out walking unsteadily. I found the same and realized why the bears walked the way they did. It was fresh snow on top of crusted snow. Just when they thought they had solid footing, the crust would give way, making them and me look unsteady. "Pooch Pal" caught a good 7½-minute action video of good-looking Tasha looking hesitant and unsteady.

Crows on root mound
Crows on root mound
Out the window, the same root mound that supplied nesting material for ravens was covered by crows yesterday, but they were not gleaning nesting material, and the crow flying away is not carrying anything.

Redpolls gather in dense flocks to eat sunflower seeds. Then something happens—a crow flies close, a blue jay flies in, or a sudden unexplained noise—and they fly up. I wondered how there was room for all their wings when such a dense flock takes flight together. I still don’t know, but these two pictures show the dense flock and then taking flight five seconds later. It’s a puzzle how they all fit together, but they manage.

I also wondered how a pileated woodpecker can easily move up and down the smooth wood of a barkless tree. What do they hold on to? I still don’t know. This pileated has one claw hooked in a crack, but that doesn’t seem enough. Mysteries everywhere.

I think Pretty Girl was here last night from tracks on the second floor deck and the bologna all gone.

Thank you for all you do,
