My favorite wound care nurse was not there this week explained to the Doctor that she had not followed up with a darn thing that she said she had and her attitude was the worst I had seen of any health care worker in the last year and a half. I told the Doctor count me out if I have to deal with her again then changed my normal day to one where she was off. We have spent 1.5 million dollars in health care since this ordeal began and my life is too short to deal with a rouge nurse shenanigans and I could add her wound care center to the list of fired doctors since the first of the year. Normally I just keep my big trap shut and let my better half deal with these things but I can still roar when I feel the need. Not to be a Debbie downer on a Friday but you guys should get the point. I here you. I'm too old to put up with disrespect or incompetence. One reason I don't have a Medicare "disadvantage" policy. The doctors in their systems are crap.

In my raised bed planter boxes, I just added sprouted garlic cloves, sprouted gold potatoes, seeds for Swiss Chard, Italian Parsley and Basil. We shall see what happens. Last year much success from plant starts. Trying seeds this year.

After yet another round of morning rain, it's a bit muggy out but not terribly hot. I'm sitting here with my new outdoor fan generating a breeze and a mockingbird perched on the chimney next door, running through its repertoire. I could live this way.

I miss seeing the variety of birds commonly seen, in what you folks in greener environments can take for granted. I put a tube type bird feeder up, and it had attracted all of the smaller birds that are more pleasing to see, but the spillage attracts the winged rats (pigeons)...off to storage for the bird feeder.

Broke down and ordered a new Serta I6000 office chair by using images saved over 200. off the in-store price, sneaky Office Depot/Max trying to hide the price. If you are going to be frugal explore your options carefully.

I also get doves, which are basically pigeons. I don't mind them.

If you are going to be frugal explore your options carefully. I hope yours works out better than mine. I bought a Serta desk chair about a year ago and the pleather upholstery started cracking, splitting, and flaking within a few months.

We don't see pigeons, probably because of all the hawks. We do see hundreds of different birds of all kinds. We can identify maybe 10% of them. Lots of cardinals and mocking birds. Wrens and tits. They eat mosquitoes as well as a hundred pounds of birdseed a year. Tractor Supply loves us.

They pretty much suck around here, the relentless desert heat turns them into gangsters. Any open port on a roof become their home and the either pile their poop on your front doorstep, or on your car.

No body messes with my quail I enjoy the heck out of watching My Quail! We used to have a lot of quail in Texas but they disappeared around 2010, and no one knows why. We used to enjoy their little parades in the central Texas Hill Country in the 70s and 80's. We are hoping they will come back someday. We have never seen any in NE Texas. We did see them in the country surrounding Houston. In fact, we hunted them once on a property in northwest Houston, inside the city limits. Of course that's all developed now.

I’ve got doves all around, blue jays, cardinal every once in a while, egrets in the rice field and hawks circling way overhead of the rice field looking for a meal.

We had herons in the front yard of our house in Humble every day until I got the ditches cleaned out. That was all year. They just pass through here occasionally.

Pigeons! They roost in the shed and poop on my tractor. Fortunately, it has a cab. If I were younger and more spry I would capture several and grain fatten them in cages. Squab, you know.
