Deadly Things

With the bird feeder in the backyard we attract flocks of mourning doves. Last week, we found feathers and blood on the snow. Obviously, the predators find opportunity too.

This morning (Thursday) we watched, online, the funeral service for my sister, Maureen. She passed away on December 12th. from complications associated with COVID in the UK. She had been in a long-term care facility in Sandhurst, Berkshire. The technology performed flawlessly.

(This photo of Maureen was taken when she was in her youth. See Postcard to Maureen.)

Meanwhile, south of the border, we have insurrection, generated by Donald Trump. What difficult times.
