boxofdelightsSo I've been back from the hospital for two weeks. I still have a sore throat, but I'm still testing negative for Covid. And getting more energetic every day! I was outside with my hands in the soil the other day, and my husband said, "That's the happiest I've seen you in two weeks!"
Yesterday, about 5:30, I heard the sandhill cranes flying north. My husband came into the back yard as I was hobbling up the steps to the back door. "Do you hear that? Do you hear that?" I called to him. I stuck my head inside and yelled, "Phoebe! Come out and listen!" Phoebe came out and started laughing with joy. She has seen thousands of the sandhill cranes overwintering in New Mexico, and this was just a small group, maybe sixty, flying overhead for a few moments, but it was a delight. They don't sound like anything else.
