Roses everywhere

· Maine Event

Just a usual Thursday. Lots of things are happening in my little work world, and I'm trying to stay on top of it all. Roses were blooming everywhere I looked. It must be the season. My eyes are on fire from allergies, but so far, the lungs are okay.

Made a nice dinner of fish, kale, quinoa, and sauteéd sweet potato. Probably a little high carb with both the quinoa and sweet potato, but portions were small of everything but the kale and fish.

The second contractor got back to me. So that project is moving forward.

Interesting thing to find on the sidewalk far from any market
See the three little finches. They were chatting away.
Such beautiful birds - House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) 
Roses in an abandoned lot
Cooper's Hawk (Astur cooperii) 

6:32 am – 7:46 pm, which is 13 hours and 14 minutes of daylight.

The bird of the day is the Cooper's Hawk

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
