Wednesday. Hump day :) Downhill to the week end!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midday today, it was woodpecker central!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was 1 of 2 Pileated woodpeckers right outside my “office” window. And they were joined by a Gray Flicker. I could not capture all, so you will have to take my word for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pileated woodpeckers (Woody Woodpecker :) ) are fun to see and hear … they have a distinct call. BUT, they are also a bit destructive and can quickly kill a vulnerable tree … circle of life…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather wise, we have had the cold whoosh front and at 5:35 p.m., on August 12, it is 64F and falling!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A warm fish pie is in the offing for supper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A cat day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the background, you can see 64F!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work week is going well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the life background: COVID-19 stuff…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, I saw:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I follow Gone with the Wynns<\/a> on YouTube and I highly recommend their channel. Jason and Nikki Wynn are extraordinary story tellers, photographers, videographers and overall super-nice and upbeat persons!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BULA is a Fiji word. It means so much: hello, life is good, hail fellow well met, etc., etc. Google for more. But, the main thing is the “leave your worries here” box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all need a worry box to deposit our worries, don’t we??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday thoughts: deposit worries in a box, close it up, walk away and have a glass of wine or tea or coffee or whatever … with your dog, with your cat, with both … on your front porch or wherever you can sit peacefully … by yourself or with whoever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: A recent video from the Wynn’s. They are on Fiji. Headed back to their boat, which was hauled out on Tonga for last year’s cyclone season … they got caught in “Borders closed” due to the pandemic. Their channel explains all … here is a link to the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
