Meanwhile, back on the ranch....

As I said in my last post I'm feeling better, more chipper and at least theoretically energetic.  The blood work shows a vast improvement, with most levels at or at least closer to normal.  That includes the cancer marker test, which is the lowest I've ever had.   Excellent!  We're going to keep on with the current pills (no IVs) and see how we are doing COVID and blood work wise at the end of next month.  And I'm sure there will be a CT scan in my future.  

I got to go to a private ranch again today, and though the birds were slow to come in initially (rain and lightning before sunrise) they were entertaining as always.  Bird of the Day though was a beautiful snake, two came into the blind making almost no disturbance (where were you Green Jays?).  Things really heated up later in our stay, with a quail and turkey invasion among the flocks and flocks of Northern Cardinal and Green Jays.  It's so peaceful to just go sit in a blind and see what comes in - of course my host was great at keeping food in front of the birds, if artfully hidden for her pics!
