Hi Chuck

I am going backwards in your recent posts; haven't been here in a while; hence my comment on the more recent work about weeds and the language. Yes this is beautiful. I always enjoy your walks and you always give me something to think about. Yours, Deelilah

Nice to see ...

you back, Deelilah. I've been away for too long now ... due to freak-storm power outage that locked my car in the garage ... and library's ongoing troubles with computer worms/viruses. Thanx for the read. I suppose now when I walk, I'll have imagined company right along with me. And I take them daily. Now being summer, in my effort to avoid the daytime heat, I walk in the mornings. As early sometimes as five a.m. When a lot of critters are very---and I do mean very---active. Always something to see, hear, smell. Sometimes touch. Thanx, Chuck
