Just a quick pop in to say hello and tell you all I have been thinking about you.
We took a walk out on the Osprey Trail at Honeymoon Island State Park today, not all the way to the eagles nest but to the osprey nest that was closer to the parking lot. We got to see this amazing nest with a baby poking it's head up. We also saw four great horned owls, this is a parent who was off about 50 feet from the babies, and I am assuming Mom was closer to the babies on look out. Mom and the babies were in areas of the trees I could not get photos of. Last time we were here those babies were still in the nest, now they are almost full grown and were sitting on a limb tucked close together.
Little Buddy did not complain as much today and managed about 1 1/2 miles with a brief rest when we made it to the nesting area. It was so beautiful outside we just had to go. We saw the new Minecraft Movie yesterday, he loved it and I thought it was way, way over the top. He paid attention the entire movie which is a big deal for him. We had Little Buddy's best friend from school over on Friday. She is going to another school next year so his heart is breaking a bit. There is so much change with the administration, teachers and kids leaving the school I am not sure what to think, but it really is the only school he can go to at the moment so I am trying to take a deep breath and let things play out. These changes are in addition to the many changes he has living in two seperate homes, sometimes he tells me he can't handle any more changes and I completely understand how he feels.
Grand dog Luna is here for the weekend while her parents went to a wedding. She is looking movie star ready in her new collar. Hank and Bear were so excited to see her. Bear looks ready for a belly rub and Hank looks ever so concerned about life as he usually does have the weight of the world on his shoulders.
I had Covid two weeks ago and I am still recovering, it knocked me out for a few days. So being outside today for a leisurely stroll with my Buddy was the perfect medicine I needed. It has been a long few weeks with lots going on as is usual for me and my situation. The poor father I talked about in my last post passed away the following day after my post. His celebration of life ceremony was last weekend and was just heartbreaking, gone at 53 with complications from Flu A, it's such a waste.
Stay safe my friends, take care of your health and mental well being during these extremely chaotic times.

What an amazing day to see the owls! Kudos for Little Buddy making the trek. I hope you continue to improve from Covid and that you don't have to incorporate more change into your daily lives.
It sounds like a wonderful nature walk with a good companion and lovely sightings, too. But I'm sorry about the Covid. I'm sure it was good to get outdoors. I know a lot of parents who are concerned about schools/education these days. I'm sure it will be very hard for Little Buddy to say goodbye to his friend. Meanwhile, sending you all many wishes for a lovely Easter week.
It's so good to see all your boys again! Our Osprey have not returned yet. The nests are empty. The town had a big Osprey festival last week but the guests of honor did not put in an appearance.
I'm sorry to hear you've been ill but happy to hear you are on the mend. Covid hasn't found me yet. Knock on wood. I have the luxury of living a very isolated life and I plan to keep it that way for as long as I can.
What a lovely place to walk and commune with nature. I'm glad you can take advantage of it, especially in these times.
So sorry you had a bout with covid. It's not an easy illness to recover from.
It's always good to see photos of you and your family. Your pups always make me smile. Take good care, and I will, too.
Poor you having Covid - that must have been really debilitating... hope you're able to get rid of the last of it soon... how great that LB enjoyed the movie so much! looks like a sofa is enough for the 3 pups to enjoy themselves 100%! sending you hugs
