All summer there would be one or two great blue herons standing in the water at the creek when I'd drive or walk by. If I walked up, they'd fly off long before I'd get close. If I was driving and slowed down too much, to get a photo, they'd do the same thing. So I looked forward to Everett coming home. That way he could have the digital camera ready to shoot from the window of the vehicle, and I wouldn't have to come to a complete stop and scare off the shy birdie. This week we finally had success and Everett got a picture, although we had to keep moving. Oh yes; and the bird watched us carefully, too, moving almost imperceptibly sideways until finally it spread its great wings and flapped away.

The zoom feature isn't anything to brag about with this camera we've got, so it's not much of a picture. But ... there you have it.

Reta, I dropped Grandma and Evelyn off at the hall this afternoon for the seniors' rally and Janet Elliott was there. I gave her a mission: to remind both ladies to take their supper pills. Stopped and saw Bruce and Shirley for only a few minutes, because I had to be back in Wadena to pick up Everett. Bruce hasn't been feeling well for the past month, did you know?
