Knowing one has enough intestines to spare a few inches

Not getting stuck in elevator, which happened only minutes before getting on

Getting special attention from one special nurse friend (You know who you are!)

Recognizing his lack of appetite when the broth, jello, and juice are placed before him

Getting hubby to drink enough water

Finding high fiber foods that suit hubby's appetite

Having questions about redness around staples

Some hurdles are yet to be faced but so far we have been able to get over the ones we've had.

Cat and Birds

If only the cat knew the birds were in the front of the house, he would move to the front. This cat was on the rail of our deck when I got up this morning. The dove keep hanging around our front yard.

Dove

These little babies, which look full grown already, have made their home in our front yard. They blend in perfectly with the mulch. It is almost impossible to see them when they are on the mulch. They hatched in the tree in our front yard. I nearly scared one half to death one morning when I came barreling up on the front porch at the end of my walk. I had no idea it was on the porch.

Beautiful entrance to Georgian Bay

A few pictures I took through the windshield as we drove into Meaford. Such an awesome sight.
