I apologize but it is rather funny. I have enjoyed reading all the postings. I guess I am no longer an anonymous lurker! Good news, no ticks as of yet today in the garden and husband's pain in side is much better. Our pond has filled up from all the recent rain and we spotted the turtle swimming about today. The peepers are still keeping us awake at night so they must be doing well. The barred owls were also hooting. I still have not seen the elusive yellow bird my husband said he saw but will report when I do. Jacquie On Mon, May 21, 2018, 11:12 AM Jacquie Dale <jacquie.dale@gmail.com> wrote: > Wow!
