I'm not sure what these birds are. Maybe swans. Or egrets? They were too far away to get a good photo of and I didn't want to frighten them off.

I drove to Port Huron to have a root canal on an infected tooth with some bone loss. I'm distracted with pain now but the actual process was pain free - except the pain-killer shot into my hard palate which makes me wince just thinking about it again..

I'm sorry we lost all of our ash trees. They join the American chestnuts and American elms. The logs are all from ash trees.

I appreciate the first few tiny flowers in the spring and the last few small flowers in the fall most of all! I think these are some kind of buttercups.
