Day 247

September 4, 2022

Color in the fridge.

 

I didn't feel well most of the day, but it was a lovely day any way.  At noon time I went outside to eat peaches and yogurt while Patrick was painting the new breakfast nook.  I was shocked by the lack of birds.  None of the normal yard birds were talking.  It verged on eerie.

Diane came over and we brought chairs into the backyard shade.  Soon yellow warblers appeared.  That helped me feel some normalcy.  Vultures came over and said hi and there were a few sparrows.    The thunder was in the background and around 3 we went in.  But no rain came our way at all, just clouds.

Thomas visited and that was calming, too.  Afterwards I went up to the rookery.  It was foggy and silent.  

I did see some birds on the ride, but only the three crows sitting up in the high trees were visible on the rookery.

I still just feel like crying, but I have no real idea why.  I'll just go to bed early and hope that I feel better in the morning..
