After a long absence from participating as a worship leader--I had abstained in order to try to get more to volunteer--I was a reader today. Quite a few commended me for reading.
Will ease into it a little me.
Josephine, i.e. Mrs. Mouse, has got to march in a "No ICE" rally one town over. It has started to (gently) rain. I shall have to have a pot of tea ready when she gets home, or after her hot shower.
Oh, that's awesome. I was trying to see if my husband would absolutely lose it if I went to one of the local protests, and sadly decided yes. He's got too much trauma left from Vietnam, and would absolutely expect me to be shot. So I have to find other things to do.
Well she got back in once piece. The march went fine. She got some car time with the neighbor across the street, whom we've only just been getting to know. So in all it was a good day.
I remember Josephine as a straight shooter (metaphorically) and if anyone could get the point across it would be her. I'm looking into the next No Kings! day.
Please remember me to your lady. I was always interested in her POV.

I thank you on her behalf. I will pass along your greetings. (She's asleep right now.)
I want to pop in and say how much I appreciate all of you who post on our USA thread. Do not want to get political so I will leave it at that. Just wanted to let you know that your posts matter to me.
I live in a senior Mobile Home Community in a small city. Today, a fox was sighted in our area. We have a number of trees and park-like settings. We have seen deer, a pair of ducks, raccoons, possums, skunks, and many squirrels living here, along with many birds. I love that we share life with wildlife even in the city.
When we lived in Fredericton, we were in a "mobile" estate and we had all sorts of birds that came to our feeder. We also had a grey squirrel who came every morning at about 11 o'clock and would completely clean it out! We allowed him one meal a day; we weren't prepared to fill it up again just for him to come back, and we wanted to give the birds a chance!
One winter we had a brief but delightful visit from a little red squirrel, who we think had made his home underneath our deck (which was, of course, buried a couple of feet under the snow), and we made a point of putting out some food for him, which he would take up to the top of the snow-heap and eat while enjoying the view.
Did you know there are several species of fox? The two prominent ones are Red Tail and Black Tail. In our town of 35,000, the red tail lives in our neck of the woods. We have a pair that comes by our place every so often. On the north end of town, the black tails live. All that separates the two species is the main highway into town. Don't know if they can cross breed or not.
I suspect those are both subspecies or even just color phases of Vulpes vulpes, the red fox. The only other species in the US are the arctic fox, the kit fox, and the swift fox

Actually, the name for the black tailed fox is the grey fox. Red foxes normally have a white‑tipped tail, but they can also have black‑tipped tails due to natural color variation.
Gray foxes often have a black stripe and black tail tip, which can lead people to call them “black‑tailed”
We have little brown bunnies that live in they greenway (unpaved alley behind about 5 houses), but over by the train station, not 6 blocks away, they are all black.
