And like voodoo, it appears that part of spell isn't working
properly.... ;)

As Karl Marx said (and I quote), "like the sorcerer, who is no longer
able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up
by his spells." In other words there can be no more fun and games. :::sigh:::

I have an appropriate tagline for that (see below)...

In the meantime, I was wondering if that quail family ever showed up in
your neighborhood....

Hey Nancy!

I was wondering if that quail family ever showed up in your neighborhood....

Actually it was more of a flock of them and it looks like they might have found
greener pastures, sort of speak. I still see quail in the neighbourhood but haven't seen them in the yard since last spring when we first talked about it.
Before that it was almost a daily thing.

Life is good,
Maurice

So at least they haven't left entirely.... just aren't in your yard any more.... Has it really been a whole year since we talked about them....?

Hallo Nancy!

yard any more....

Right. There has been quite a bit of construction going on in the neighbourhood in the last couple of years which I am blaming for their shyness since last spring.

Has it really been a whole year since we talked about them....?

It was sometime last May when we first talked about their disappearance in my very little part of the world. Back then I thought it was because they were roosting. I am not sure when we last talked about it but it probably was last June-ish when they didn't show up with their chicks. :::sigh:::

Hallo Nancy!

Just hadn't realized so much time had gone by already.... ;)

That can and does happen and these days it happens far too frequently.

I'm told it has something to do with getting older.... ;)
