And a very good evening to you Conor...you have been missed!
I know you have had way more than your fair share of health issues as of late so NO need to apologize.
I do hope your knee issue is getting better AND your getting a much better nights sleep now! *hugs*
To: AZamericonnie
Thanks, Connie! Still struggling with the knee - started PT last night - will probably be there for a while. Had a sleep study a couple of nights ago - will probably go on a CPAP machine to aid sleep.

NO ducks??? Not one? Were you mean to them? LOL!!
Hawks are magnificent birds, and you have a bunny, too!
Every now and then we have hawks in our trees looking for a duck dinner.
