Ann from SnapEditScrap sketches, I do a copy cat inspired by hers. She uses colored pencils, I paint in Procreate on my iPad. https://annssnapeditscrap.blogspot.com/
My x-ray of my chest showed nothing is broken, Doc says probably a bone bruise and with heat/ice/Tylenol and Ibuprofen and only light labor, should be better in about 2 weeks.

Beau and the three pigs.
First I had to put up with 2 ducks, now its 3 pigs. and all mama does is work in house and yard and color on the iPad.. ALL, I say All she does. this is also a COPY CAT. It looks like I am not crazy about the pigs and they are not crazy about me.
Yesterday was horrible. At our 9 am dermatologist appt for Bob, I was struggling to push him up the ramp, and do to slack off speed for a woman who passed in front of us, stopped and was backing down slowly to roll far enough away to get up speed, and the small wheels on the people mover, hit a wide crack at the bottom, turned his wheelchair over backwards and I went down out to the side. both of us down on the ground. The woman who passed in front of us came back and a man and a woman helped me get up and sat the wheelchair back on its wheels. The woman pushed Bob into the office and left us there..
Picture this laying on its back with Bob kicking like a turtle on its back. These are convenient, but his regular wheel chair, it would not have happened. The big wheel would not have caught or turned it over. Word of warning if you use one. I can't get the regualar wheel chair in/out of the car
His elbow was bleeding and due to an adrenaline rush I was shaking like a leaf... We got through the appt and back home and all we have is a small cut on his elbow and 2 large bruises, one on his back and arm, i have 2 bruises and my right hand is sore. I went for a chest xray because my rib was hurting, I see my doctor this morning.
I cried the rest of the day Just Because it happened.
We are blessed to have no permanent injuries. Bob swears it did not hit his head, and refused to go to the doctor. we are both alive and well
PT is coming at 9 and I have 10 am appt with my doctor to see what the x-ray showed, and she wants to check me out. Thank you Lord that we are not harmed.
In my post Ducks and More Ducks, a week ago, I told you that 2 Mallards, Mama and Juvenile baby came to stay with us. The came on April 4th and are still here.
April 25th we heard a knock on the glass door and the one I called Mama, now called MR was crying at me. The Baby, or so I thought, had been gone for 2 days and I thought this duck was the Mama looking for the baby.
The Baby showed up that day, see below. Leg lame, part of the foot gone, no tail feathers and in ruff shape. Yes I Cried a little. For days I have watched them, the larger duck, now called MR and the small injured Baby, now called Misses, for Mrs.
They have both come every evening between 5 and 6, and slept in the pool all night, leaving around 8 am for the day.
Mrs is wounded, but she can swim, fly and drags herself one legged on the concrete. We think they have stayed because the wounded one needs easy access to water to escape, when Beau walks by she just falls off the side of the pool into the water.
they are not mallards, but mottled ducks, and the one above is the large male and below is the injured female.
We have been adopted. The male tickles me to death. Every sound or movement, even when the blinds are closed and I pull it aside to watch them, he looks me in the eye. Last night I had the verticals closed and would move from one blind to another to see if he knew, it was almost dark, and he eyed me at every blind.
If you enlarge this photo, you can see her foot and feathers. this was five days ago and she looks better each day.
If she gets to where she can't leave the yard, I will call Wild Life to come get her. She doesn't act like she is suffering or in pain.
Don't worry about them harming the pool, it has been over a year since it has been maintained properly. its full of leaves on the bottom. It got out of control because it needs maintenance daily. I am now working on it myself but don't want to get it because Bob wants to get in it and he can't. I leave it this way so I have a reason to repeat to him 10 times a day why he can't get in the pool.
I am now caregiver for and this includes poop detail
of an 1, lb 80 lb dog, 1, 140 lb female, 1, 165 lb male human and 2 ducks,
Female Mottled Duck, the beak tells which they are, and the size.
