The Great Backyard Bird Count starts Friday and runs through Monday and I am getting ready for that. I am having surgery, Thursday, a hernia repair. It is day surgery, so I should be up on my feet and home by Thursday afternoon and should be able to participate in this event. Kingdoms RAGE and go to war...but the PEasants plant potatoes..

With this new job I get home before dark and yesterday I took Thorn's advice. I went outside and sat with my camera for a while. I was going through seeds but I did it all outside. I had a wonderful time. The problem is that when I walk Lizzy, the Murdering Cat, walks with me.

She always has my scolding echoing in her ears if she even looks at a bird the wrong way. Our older cat has learned not to chase birds. I think she got tired of being told off. Eternity
