Pair of Red Tailed HawksThis is a small slice of life at House on Muddy - hawks that are nesting nearby. (See the tree in yesterday's photo.) It's not that these are wonderful bird photos. They are just the best I can do with my dinky camera. It is not made for wildlife photography. I cropped and worked on them in the photo program to get the pictures this good. I'm ready for a nice new camera with a big zoom lens. We finally got a close enough look and have determined they are red tailed haws, which I suspected all along.
Six or seven skeletons were found on land near Pinedale when a skull rolled out of a backfill dirt pile where a new house is being built. They have been determined to be of greater than usual historical significance, Native American, and somewhere between about 2000 and 7000 years old. Some beads were also mentioned being found and possibly other artifacts. So far there are many mysteries. And the home owner who now !!owns the bones!! has put the septic tank work on hold so the bones can be recovered. We can go sift dirt if we would like to volunteer.
Our Dr. Judy Boyle's contract has not been renewed. I am quite unhappy about this turn of events. Our Rural County Health Board is management-challenged, and acts like a bunch of eight year old kids at times. O.K. I'm being really nice...... they are like eight year olds all the time.
My girls gave me beautiful golden earrings and a spa gift certificate for Mother's Day. Plus other things too. They were waiting in the mailbox when I got back from the convention, so that was fun to open presents.
No news here to speak of. If something happens to write about, I'll be back. Off and on its looking like it wants to rain. Chances are we will get none.
