I wonder if you have read my last blog post, which mentioned a bird Nest I was keeping an eye on. It started with 4 beautiful blue eggs in it, and then eventually there were two-which hatched into birds almost ready to leave the nest. Sadly there’s an unfortunate end to that – a stray killed them. It was Al who saw the stray cat that morning with one in its mouth, the other on the porch dead.

I salvaged the nest afterward for study. It is truly a wonder.

Look here- it’s used my plant marker and a piece of plastic.

what a beauty it is…

I know this is nature, that not all birds make it. We have lots of cats that people let roam. I wish they did not, but that’s how it is.

Over the weekend my son went to Gay Pride Parade in NYC. Here are some pictures.

I think the pictures are so artful. I have not had a good day. I awoke with the worst Migraine all year. I heard a crash in the bathroom. So Georgie cat runs by me, all wet. I said aloud: “Did you fall in the toilet?”

I went into the bathroom and immediately was overwhelmed with a nauseating Listerine smell, and stepped in mouthwash, blue and sickly smelling (moreso from my migraine) and I ascertained that Al left it on the cat tree before he left and she knocked it over, shattering the cover. I had to put her under the sink. She immediately went to the window to dry…

Since I work from home on my pc, my legs are inactive. In fact I had blood from my saphenous vein pooling in my calf. My vascular surgeon performed a vein closure. Those are PAINFUL let me tell you. I was bandaged groin to ankle for a day. One leg is still an inch bigger than the other but that leads me to what I’ve been up to over the weekend. I decided to take apart a bicycle and build a device where I could pedal while I worked from the couch. Well….this was a fail.

I could not get it stabilized after I took it apart. After much grease under the nails and far too much exertion, I decided to look up how to build one of these. Sadly, no DYI exists. But I did discover that they sell this device. So screw it, I’m buying one! Well that’s what I have been up to.

I still feel sick from the migraine. Goin to bed! Before I go, there is a CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS on art of autism for poems for peace and art for peace.
