Happy Friday!

I think you’ll have to admit I haven’t shown any birds for sometime now so that is what I have for you today.  It seems like forever since I was able to sit out on the patio and capture images of our little feathered friends.  Of course I wasn’t able to do that until after thoroughly cleaning all the bird poop off the patio first.  They are filthy creatures to be sure.  They even poop in their own water.  🙂

I had an appointment with my eye doctor yesterday to follow-up on the fogginess in my eye.  They took an x-ray of my retina, which was amazing to me.  I actually got to see the x-ray after the process.

They wanted to be sure there wasn’t anything going on there.  The good news is that I have healthy eyes that have not been affected by the diabetes.  However I do have a cataract that needs to be removed so I see the ophthalmologist in a couple of weeks to get that taken care of.

I got home from the clinic around 5:00 p.m. so Jeanne and I went for a nice walk before dinner.  Now that the days are getting shorter it gets harder to get the walks in as I usually do not get home until 6:30 p.m. or later.  So I have to use the treadmill, which is not as enjoyable as walking with my bride.  🙂

I had to say good-bye to a friend yesterday.  She is one of those people who just makes the world brighter with her smile and personality.  She is such an outgoing friendly person and I will truly miss seeing her on a regular basis.  On the other hand I’m happy for her as she is opening her own business in Maquoketa and I wish her every success.  So good luck Amy and I hope your dreams come true.

That’s it for today.  Thank you for tolerating the birds.  I won’t show anymore unless I’m desperate.  🙂

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  I hope you enjoy your Friday and as always please be careful.
