| Only took six years, but we have a pair of martins! |
 |
| They are having trouble deciding which house they want! |
 |
| If these two stay, eventually we will have all the houses full and will have to add more gourds like we did in Georgia. |
 |
| The chickadee and chicks have left, so I removed the nest from the box. Good to see my dogs' fur is recycled. There's also some fur from an unidentified animal. |
 |
| A memory appeared on my Facebook page of the photos I took of the grosbeaks last year. They came on the exact same day this year! |

 |
| This is Shahab's backyard in Asheville. We are invited up this weekend to see the poppies. I hope a Persian meal comes with!! |
 |
| My friend Dixie in Atlanta is an accomplished oil artist, and this painting of poppies was given to me years ago. I am thinking of commissioning another for Shahab and Mindy for Christmas. |

| In Rescue: Last week was a bad week. I counted on others to save a chow in LA not knowing he may have been hit by a car. He laid there six days in urine and feces, the vet thinks of a broken hip. The people who were in charge dropped the ball, so I called the shelter to get things going. Found a vet tech to get him out to a vet and in the meantime raised $2000 in four hours. He died when they anesthetized him for xrays. So sad, I can't even post his photo. I named him Survivor before his passing. My first loss. This week we saved Carla who had been in a shelter in NC for 10 months! My friend Misha picked her up to foster her. |

| Here she is pouting for a drive thru cheeseburger LOL! |
 |
| Such a sweet girl saved in honor of Survivor. |
