I'm sure most pet birds never have that experience.<br /><br />Mitchell: It was! Sometimes it's nice to just get out and walk not knowing where the road will take you.<br /><br />Red: Gotta make life interesting!<br /><br />Robin: The macaws were incredible. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.<br /><br />Jennifer: I bet he does! Maybe we shouldn't given him any ideas, though?!<br /><br />Catalyst: They're apparently very smart. (As Jennifer says above.)<br /><br />Edna: It was a beautiful garden, and this was the perfect time of year to visit.<br /><br />Linda Sue: But you can still get out and walk around outside, right? I keep distant from everyone (as much as possible) but I do get out and about.<br /><br />Jenny-O: It was VERY cute. He would tickle the bird's belly and the bird would cling to his hand as he lifted it up.<br /><br />Allison: They were beautiful!<br /><br />Bug: I've never seen delphiniums that big. Ours is not only smaller, it's still just buds! The flowers haven't opened yet. I'm not sure why theirs are so far ahead. Maybe they started them in a greenhouse.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-69894322741461090122020-06-10T22:10:46.461+01:002020-06-10T22:10:46.461+01:00I love everything about this post!

We are still shuttered here, taking the virus as seriously as we would an air raid/bombs/gas that lasted four months or longer, the virus has changed the way we do things or don't do things- more like it. The virus will have its way and is not going anywhere anytime soon. We are more cautious than most areas, and having seen NOVA last night - a special presentation on Covid19, we are even more careful. So, staying home is the deal. The only way at this point to sidestep Rona.

After all, you don't speak English, you speak American! Remember "sidewalk" and "color"? I do. I hope that the Japanese woman found her phone.
