Home from chemo and all that. I will be sleeping in Thursday morning, but I will be blogging, just a little later in the day, and I’ll work up another chronicle, too. I’m gonna go sleep now.

We’ve had quite a few sunny days lately, but today it’s overcast and humid with rain on the way. That’s a perfect recipe of weather for growing things.
Many of the buildings had the beams carved. Some had decorated just one or two beams on the edges, some went completely nuts. There is not much more to say, really. Enjoy.

People have started mowing their lawns and for the most part the dandelions will be kept cut down. Still, some dandelions will find places to live and thrive and secretly that pleases me. Mr. Voyager and I often wish that we could let our grass grown long and wild and full of colourful weeds, but that’s frowned upon when you live in the city so we comply and cut. Maybe someday people will realize that all that mowing and watering and tending to grass is unnatural and bad for us and the environment.

I’m so excited. This morning there was a tiny mourning dove in my yard. At first I thought he had fallen in and couldn’t fly because he’s really small, but when I approached him those tiny little wings flapped as fast as they could and up he flew to the top of the fence. Once I was back in the house down he came again to feast on all the seed that the grackles spill. He’s adorable and has perfect camouflage for a ground feeder…he’s the colour of dirt.

Grackle has a mouth full, flies down for a drink. Takes a moment out to glare at me for being so rude, then goes about having a nice clean. Click for full size.
