Early is back in hospital!!

We have finally found the culprit of all of Early's discomfort and misery!!! Took him to the doctor 1st thing yesterday and with her keen sense of knowledge sent us to hospital for ct scans where they found blood clots on his lung! This being very serious they admitted him to hospital and immediately started treatment to disolve these little buggars! Unfortunately we did not know the signs to watch for... Fortunately we now know a little about blood clots and what to look for AND Earl is on meds to fix this problem... so we have a lot to be very thankful for.. it's another one of lifes lessons we had to learn the hard way but we were fortunate to be able to catch this before it got any worse... Now, they will keep him a few days on some heavy blood thinner and then give him something when he comes home... They expect we will be able to continue with our plans for our trip to Hawaii and to head south so that is the good news. Talked to Earl this morning and he had a good night and is feeling better already.. Thank you Lord!!! I'm off to get a good look for myself.. more later..

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
