I had my finger on the dialer - was just about ready to send out a search party!

Is it just me, or is the net - or this forum - lagging?

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

I was beginning to wonder...but knew you’d make it somehow! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Our net here has been slow for days.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth in nice weather?

[Soaring Feather]

Well, being first, fifty, and one hundred has been the number to call a race. LOL

Much cooler today, even had to wear a light jacket. Did the usual bird watching, I do enjoy it.

The “Red Breasted Finch” or “House Finch” is a most interesting bird.
They land on the ground, then hop once, then flap their wings to do an over the ground hover. Fun to see this.
