Sometimes it is dangerous to look up while you are walking but if you don't once in awhile you will miss a starling murmuration. While teaching I learned that the particular pattern of starlings as they fly up and around and loop di loop has a name and that name is murmuration. I have never seen one myself, only on a video. But today, was my lucky day and I was able to capture part of their flight. Look the term up to see the video, truly amazing.

Small joys can be coming across an old photo of an old friend that passed away suddenly. She was an amazing woman and someone who saved my life when I needed a friend the most. After my divorce I badly needed respite of some kind and Susan offered it to me and my two children. She was a generous individual and off we went to Spain for a month, to get away and think and try to make a plan to rebuild my life as a single parent of two adopted kids. Savor each moment. She will be missed.

Dogs provide endless hours of enjoyment. After working on my writing I came in to get a much deserved bit of lunch only to find that Liam must have had a rough day on the job. I did not pose this picture, it is a sign of the times that a dog is resting beside a mask. Maybe this is the next step in Covid 19 protection. It made me chuckle and he was no worse for the wear.
