🥳 SURPRISE!! 🎂

My favourite moment of September. I'd never had a surprise party before!

As you see, I was blown away!  Then the grands came running with
squeals of delight and hugs!   😃👍  Best Birthday Ever!!  ✨💖✨

Took down the dying Birches...

Our original three Gray Birches have been dying for years. 

We kept them until the woodpeckers could no longer live in them.
This week we cut down the three and kept the smaller trees.
 We kept the stumps for now to see if we can make a seat there,

so when the grands come they'll have a place to read or romp.

 

Mushroom on the Old Birch

THIS JUST IN!  NASA's experiment went like clockwork!  We are now able to alter the course of an asteroid, should it be headed for Earth.  They just did it with a benign asteroid, and it worked perfectly.  They hit a pyramid sized asteroid with a refrigerator size spacecraft.  I took these photos with my iPhone, off CNN and happened to catch the 1/4 second when the red explosion lit up the asteroid before it hit! 👍
