The daily mail

Is there anyone as jubilant as a twelve year old boy who is happy with himself?  Today's mail brought a thank you postcard from Youngest Grandchild who apparently had a good time here.  The P.S. refers to what became a standing joke between us - every time he called his mom she asked if he was homesick.  No!  But it became an amusing topic of dinnertime conversation for us all.

My favorite website is this one:  Stork Cam  That's where I watch the Hungarian storks who are now preparing their nest for the new eggs. The camera is live and streaming so, even when the storks are sleeping you'll see an occasional twitch or shift.  It depends on your time zone when is the best time to watch.  For us in northern California morning and evenings here work out well to watch there.

I've been following these birds for about four years and they never fail to catch my interest.  I have even watched the woman in the background who can occasionally be seen planting and weeding her enormous vegetable garden.  Sometimes there are kids on the way to school and workers hurrying to get to their jobs on time.

It used to be, in urban areas, there was always one old lady seen day after day sitting by the window and watching the street scene below.  Now we do it online.

Oh my, I'm turning into a lurker!
