So sorry to hear about your friend. Cancer is an awful disease. They're making inroads with cures, but it's coming so darned slowly.Hi again,
Just a quick update. I told you a could weeks ago that my friend had cancer, she passed away last week.
So sad. There’s now one less mommy in my group. We all met volunteering when the kids were in kindergarten. Grown close all these years and now she’s gone. Her youngest daughter is 14.
My husband was initially denied his back surgery but his surgeon appealed it and it was approved today.
He’s so happy. He goes in Aug 8.
I feel like a stranger in here. I’ve missed so much.
Yeah, we do sort of worm our way under your skin, huh?I have no turtles or torts but I'm here for the people in here!! Love you all.
He looks so perky!

You've probably already told us, but this old brain can't remember - what kind of back surgery is your husband having? Fingers crossed for him that it goes well.
That’s a beauty! I’m so jealous. It’s a shame they don’t live long, they would truly be one of the terrors of the insect world... more than they are alreadyI do have another half grown baby that likes my can bag messes.View attachment 276715
Are they relatively calm around you?Good evenooning everyone.
I have a few photos of our tinies today.
Starting with House Sparrows. The biggest in this nest was admitted on Sunday and is about a week old.
The other three were admitted this morning with the smallest hatching on the journey in and so it would be about 3 hours old

And this House Sparrow looked like those last week. It’s about a fortnight old

And a Goldfinch that also started as a pink hatchling and is a couple of weeks old. It’s grown and feathered a lot since Monday

Other admissions included hedgehogs, a buzzard, a couple of kestrels and field vole mum with her brood.
A builder found the nest in a bucket in his van when he got to a job this morning, apologised to his customer and drove them straight to us. He returned to the customer after dropping them off .

No, that's the current one. It gets lost in the shuffle. Maybe I should pin it somewhereDid you start a new thread?
Nobody has posted since Feb in this link.
Do you ever use the trusty old axe?A good hot humid day to split some wood with the new log splitter.
Some pix of the process...
The splitter is a manual hydraulic press that methodically brings a piston into the log forcing it into a steel wedge. Slow and steady. Works well!
