It is bloody hard to write these days. The meds and the HCV virus cause brain fogs, made worse by a month long cold/infection and an invasion of allergies brought about by every pollen known to planet earth. I am befuddled: Laying word upon word is a constant wrestle.
I have two articles in the works for this blog, but neither is ready for prime-time, so we’ll have to make do with pictures. Fortunately, the viral fog does not affect my visual acumen quite so much.
Strange streets: Go to your chair!
This chair was briefly abandoned across the street from my building,
turned as you see against the wall. ”Go to your chair!” ordered some snarky school teacher - that’s what came to mind when I saw it.
Patient Patience

I have the extraordinary fortune of watching a hummingbird build and sit on a nest in my back yard this season.
You can see more pics of her and read a bit about her travails on my Flickr page.

I vote for post after post on Mrs. Patience Hummingbird. It could be all pictures and captions. Your pix are great and it’s wonderful that she trusts you and Otto so much to set up housekeeping in your garden.
Here’s hoping you feel better soon!
