Day 20,091
Birdsong and a visiting squirrel on the camera this morning, and then I saw another squirrel at the duck pond on another low stone wall around one of the trees there.
The duck pond squirrel had a little bob on its tail, and the one in our back yard had a full, fluffy one. Both were gray and white, and moved at a really good clip. I’m glad they were caught on video- we don’t get as many squirrels here as we did in Maryland. I am hoping to see another piebald “albino” one sometime in our new neck of the woods.

Doodle of some of the visitors this morning and last night (See prior entry)
There’s a giant doin’ cartwheels,
a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listenin’ to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Dood-n-doo-doo

Day 20,090
Sitting on a heating pad on the couch, back has been twanging quite a bit, but some assistance from a heating pad and meds make things a bit better.
Watching midsomer murders, just finished the death in paradise xmas special, and prior to that caught up with SNL.
Had a lovely little dinner of appetizers and falafel pitas, the inlaws, kitty and mrs relaxing on assorted areas around the tv.

Finally had a birthday cupcake after lunch – chocolate with vanilla buttercream. Very good! My next one will be a chocolate with fudgy chocolate frosting.

Day 20,086
Went on the greenway to take a little walk and brought the little diver with me. However, the pictures didn’t turn out, as it was very gray and my brain was foggy. A doodle-enhanced recreation will have to do.
Weather was brisk, about 45⁰F, but was feeling quite a bit cooler, heavily overcast and a solid wind blowing. I had a jacket, but it was still a bit too cool to go for very long.
After roaming a bit and waving to the sinister mallards (a trio of especially suspicious males specifically) in the water, I picked up a few bits of trash on the path and summoned a minor transport portal to return home.
I returned home to cuddle with Pearl and put my foot up, since I think I may have over exerted myself on the walk.

Bronze Diver arrived before my birthday! Love the bronze and orange, plus a great paint job and chain, too. Boss little toy, and a limited run! Been a fan since infrared xray man, nice to have another of my favorite tropes (skelly in a spacesuit/suit of armor / deep sea diver) in action figure form.
