| Tuesday's knee surgery went well. The wrap comes off tomorrow. |

| This was a moth I saw on the front porch on Monday. I love the little feathery wings. |

| This morning, I added a new bird to my life list. While I didn't actually see it, I heard it and can now identify it by song. I read an article while living in the Northwoods of Wisconsin about birding hikes for blind students at a wildlife sanctuary there and was fascinated by how they identified by songs and calls only. It's now my favorite way to have coffee in the morning on the front porch. Altho, if I was a Worm-eating Warbler, I think I would demand a new name. It sounds like one of the insults that Robin Williams created when he played Peter Pan for the movie Hook. |
I am glad that your surgery went well - and hope that your recovery is quick and complete.
ReplyDeleteMoths are often v beautiful.
I'm praying for your speedy recovery. There's nothing quite like birdsong in the morning.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago when I did volunteer work for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind I led a few bird walks for blind and visually-impaired kids and we birded by ear. Very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteOohhh sounds like it was fascinating! My very first job was as a reader for two blind students who were mainstreamed into my public high school from the Florida State School for the Deaf and Blind. I enjoyed it very much.
