We are welcomed back home with a robin's nest blown down from a tree on the driveway with the remains of 4 broken eggs, at least they were not developed as of yet. I was so sad to see that. After leaving Nita's home in W.V. where I had been watching 3 baby Robins grow up and fledge the nest before we left. They had built their nest on the back porch of the home and on the side of the porch in the vine on the trellis at the end of the porch, there are DOVES and 2 eggs in the nest when we left. IF that was not great, there is also downstairs on the front porch another robin with 4 eggs in the nest of which 2 had hatched before we left. I just got to love God's country.
Our grass was so high we mowed and trimmed it before we did anything else. During the mowing, I ran into what I have been smelling while mowing the side of the yard, in the neighbor's yard where the remains of a raccoon, oh my did that smell, rode right up almost beside it. Nothing much left but fur and dried skin and maggots, but the next day I got to see up close a "turkey buzzard" in the yard next door picking on the remains, also collected a huge wing feather in my yard next to some bushes.
We do not know what killed the raccoon, this is the second raccoon killed around us. The neighbor did clean up the mess the next day.

I made a huge homemade beef stew for supper the next day and decided that digging is not for me. Got my broken shoulder to hurting and now my one foot is real hurtful, something to do with eating too much red meat and uric acid. So now I am hopping around waiting for all that to settle down again.
I got my first ever doctor visit scheduled for next month by PHONE. All this because of the new flew bug running around. Everyone is wearing masks and gloves and using hand sanitizer and staying 6 or more feet away from each other. It is the new world we live in, for now, don't much care for it, but got to stay safe. I got to make some more masks for us also today.
In the meantime back in W.V. Larry got his last toe on his left foot removed, he is recovering just fine and feels great. All in the Rose Wood manor where Larry is are all negative for the virus and they are doing their best to keep it that way, it is shut down to everyone, no visiting anyone in there.
That is about it for this time around for now anyway.
