The Czickness LIII….CZing into the summer with friends near and far.

[Leadeye]

I'm here ! Well, kind of, as my heart is still back in the woods.
Like usual, I took a few pics.
Here's one, to soothe your evening.

Pro tip: NEVER eat the red ones !

Reds and blues are starting to show here, chants will be right behind.

What a week and it's only Tuesday. Started Monday with a job that I thought had ended and then when I was driving home they called and said come back. Didn't leave again until 12:00am and back onsite at 6:30am. I'm beat and have gotten maybe 7 hours of sleep the last two days.

Speaking of crazy...

I never said I was one of them.

I thought I had improved to just absurd. I’ll keep working at it.

 

[Leadeye]

Cough, choke, barf, repeat. Has not been a good day. At least it's not covid.

I'll harvest a few chants ..... I like them best minced-up and in a cheese omlette !

What do you have, LE ? Bad cold ?

 

[Leadeye]

No idea. Went to doctor to get covid test which was negative. That was a precaution as it turned out one of the participants in the dog birthday tested positive the next day. I've had covid, this does not seem like it.

 

[MindfulMan]

I hope that you let your heart doctor know, Leadeye. It sounds like you're straining, which couldn't be good.

 

[MindfulMan]

I had no idea what this little guy was, but when prowling with the macro lens, he sure looked cool !
Had to look this one up: Reticulated Net-winged Beetle.

 

[wtburnette]

Hope you get well soon LE.

Grandson found some chanterelles last week here. Surprised you aren't seeing them already.

Gentlemen I'm going to Cincinnati tomorrow for my first adjustment and more features to learn with my cochlear.

I'm really enjoying it. I've finally got my brain trained to hear birds singing again. It's very nice in the morning to hear.

The bugs and frogs are irritating as they were before at night. But I'm getting better at shutting them out. They sound so loud now.

Doing better with speech, i have a lot of trouble with people who have bad accents like British, Indian, Australian etc. I'll get there eventually.

I've forgotten so many sounds its like a new world .

You're among my favorites.

 

[DadSmith]

You're among my favorites.

How is Barb doing?

 

[Hoosier45]

You're among my favorites.

The feeling is mutual.

How is Barb doing?

Bible study tomorrow. Thursday, hospital early for liver biopsy. 5 hrs allotted. $3500 out of my Roth to cover the deductible. Monday the radiation treatments start on her brain. Hoping she tolerates it well without major memory or emotional changes. Been some tears already, of course. I don't always read minds well and we sometimes have different perceptions of what is the right thing to do. She hates being dependent and asking anybody to help. No driving for her for a while so that's an irritation. We're getting by.

You all will always remain in my prayers.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you all.

Gotta happen to somebody, I guess. God must think we're tough enough to handle it.
