Heading For Norfolk

We're heading for Norfolk, VA today, to visit some of Betsy's old stomping grounds as a kid, and to see her grandmother's grave.  We've been having a nice visit, and almost everyone is here now.  Betsy and Kitty spent a lot of time yesterday working out details for the memorial service Monday.

Betsy and I have been having fun visiting wildlife sites nearby.  We've seen a lot of birds, including old favorites like

Northern Cardinal
Indigo Bunting
Northern Mockingbird

as well as new birds like

Chimney Swift
Yellow-throated Warbler
Carolina Chickadee

Similarly, with dragonflies we've seen old friends like

Common Whitetail
Common Green Darner
Blue Dasher

and many new ones like

Calico Pennant
Comet Darner
Spangled Skimmer

The weather has been great, with temperatures around 80 and low humidity.

Tomorrow we go to Tony's for a picnic, and to make final preparations for the memorial service.

  1. So glad you are having good weather and a good time. We are in Keizer now and will go home on Wed. I think that is the day you return as well. Give my regards to everyone. I love you both.
    Love Mom
