I am so Lucky........ I'd been working and needed a "set down and recoup break" I went back, re-read, and responded to every get well wish and prayer that I didn't have the strength to do so coupled with the medication they'd pumped into me. A person's wealth is not measured in gold or silver but in to persons he counts as friends. Thank You, Bret in North Iowa. Drought in North Iowa Here you see the Mighty Iowa River reduced to a trickle. Normally canoes, inner-tubes, and kayaks are able to ply the waterway but our extreme lack of rain in August and September has taken it's toll on the recreational aspects of our river. I AM LUCKY in that while on the bridge taking pictures I captured a Grey Heron just about to take flight as I snapped the picture. These long legged birds walk the shallows catching their lunch in small fish, crayfish, and snails. I AM LUCKY to have MUTTs Inc. I made us Chicken Alfredo over noodles with garlic bread. On the way from the stove I tipped my plate a bit too much and lost a garlic bread to the floor that Ronnie snatched up in a New York Second! Every day whether or not we notice it we have so much to be thankful for.... Each day given us should be spent in the most positive endeavors your mind can imagine. . . . . . . . .Please remember in your prayers those who were in Ian's path. |

I loved reading this blog...So much gratitude and hopefulness in spite of your troubles..... We are having a drought here too.....and no rain in sight....here on the wet coast..... I love Herons...The ones we have here look very much like the one in your photo, but have a blue tinge and are called Blue Herons....I love the way they stand so still for soooo long and then suddenly pounce on a fish or frog.....and I especially love when they take off...the spread and power of those huge wings, pulling in their legs ....and then the voice....that loud call over the water that I imagine a dinosaur would sound like....brings out the primitive essence of my being...reduced to life's basics.......

HOW INTERESTING THE MIDDLE WEST IS SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT TOO. WE HAD A VERY DRY SPRING AND SUMMER BUT HAVE HAD SOME RAIN RECENTLY. NOT ENOUGH TO FILL THE RIVERS AND LAKES THOUGH. THAT PHOTO OF YOUR DOG IS GREAT, I HOPE HE DID NOT GET SICK FROM THE GARLIC. IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU UP AND GETTING AROUND BUT PLEASE DO NOT OVERDO IT. PRETTY PLEASE---
