💉JB took off for his quarterly PSA blood test. The poor man had to come home. They did not have a butterfly needle. He schedules the appointment first thing in the morning to get it over with.He was told to come back after lunch. At 13:00 hours, off he went. He had to stand in line, along with drop ins and people with appointments. His leg was getting sore. They should have had 3 staff working, and there was only one. One nurse was on lunch. The one nurse would do intake for a couple of people, and then do the lab work, and see to another two people. Slow as molasses. At least it is free for us, despite the company being a for-profit.
Yes, Red, I heard gunshots. It sounded like someone practicing. This is what I thought. This is the country, and it is what some people do. I loathe it, but there you go!
☔While I complain about the rain, it cleared up Tuesday morning, and I did some weeding. I put the bird feeders away. I don't want to risk bear coming back. We are back to rain today, Wednesday. The Ottawa River is quite high, and we could do with some sunshine!

You can't even see us on the radar today!
The Periwinkle is blooming!
Cinnamon must miss Percy! This is a fish with batteries. He slept there for a couple of hours and every time he rolled over, the fish would wiggle.
Three
🐣ROBIN eggs, and 3
🐣PHOEBE eggs in the shed! This is my handy paint roller/mirror I Macgyvered to watch over the eggs.
The phoebe nest looks great. I just cannot quite see into it. The eggs are teeny. This egg is from 2013.
We seem to just have one red squirrel, but barring name tags... The little twerp was eating the new leaf shoots on the horse chestnut tree. Next, he is cleaning up under the bird feeder.
Ah, bright yellow tulips!
Monday, I needed to get out and during a break in the rain, off I went. I fetched the SD Cards, and wondered what was dropping onto the surface of the frogpond. Yes, you may laugh. Yes, it was rain. How could I be so slow?!
Across the pond, you can see the trees beginning to grow leaves.
The large white pine at the other end of the meadow. There is a puddle in the middle of the meadow.
It is beginning to go green.
The water is quite high, nearly up to the dock.
You can see the height of the water just 4 days ago.
