One must be careful about what they wish for as it is wet, cool and windy today. The playground has become a sloppy-mess overnight and we're mostly locked inside the house. Days like this provide an opportunity however, to play catch-up on several deferred (but still-critically important) tasks that are looming, such as a dump-run, some aged-bird cleaning, some laundry, etc. One wiper arm on the old Ford truck has ceased operating (passenger side) so that needs attention as well. Never ending logistic challenges up here in RFD Minnesota. "Pay-to-play" means something completely different here. Did have some grouse in the yard last evening, which was fun for the ladies and guests. Nothing quite like last year (not aggressive, but not very fearful).

Last year's "pet". That bird had "attitude".
