Working for hours outside means I didn’t have much time to post today. Instead, I made this short video.
I came inside to rest but before I put my feet up I’m posting this tiny update.
Tomorrow means other chores and adventures. Come back then to find out what I’m up to.

Not the mooing of cows today.
My other neighbors are talking early this morning.
Their calls aren’t melodious. Sandhill cranes speak in an ancient language, one heard by dinosaurs.
When you are out in the countryside, listen to the small chirps of little birds, but don’t forget to check out the calls of sandhill cranes.

What catches your attention while driving Wisconsin country roads? This column from 1990 tells what our children saw and commented on.
Some may giggle at their reactions. Others may gag.
Time has passed and all have grown up, but roadside attractions like these continue to bring comments from my family, and now I include grandchildren, too.

At first, I thought we’d miss my cat’s physical appointment. I couldn’t find Car-E, but after searching the house, I located him in a closet. He must have slipped in when I was hanging laundry.
It wasn’t too hard getting Car-E into his pet carrier, but he sure didn’t want to come out. At the vet’s office, he puffed himself up and sent a ball of his hair flying loose.
The checkup didn’t take long.
Two inoculations brought Car-E up to date and set for the next three years. They gave me a rabies tag for him. That will go in the drawer as Car-E refuses to wear a collar.
No problems were reported by Dr. Jamie. There was one thing noted. Car-E weighed 15 lbs, 9 oz. and that made him a bit heavy. I guess he takes after me.
Car-E cried when back in the carrier but was extremely happy when I let him free at home. My good kitty then went upstairs and hid under my bed. He stayed there for the next couple hours and only came out until it was time for supper.
