Blue Boy

Dear Diary,

Well, I call all my jays "Blue Boy", there is no way to tell them apart.  They are back in force now and it is funny to see them compete with the squirrels for seeds.  Raucous fellows, they make their displeasure clearly known.  I think they add a nice bit of complimentary color relief to all the orange in the yard now.

John got a lot of the garden cut back yesterday while I "supervised".  My cough is a whole lot better but I wasn't taking any chances.  I spent the day pottering around in the house, changing table linens and quilts and curtains to their fall attire.  My photobook of Scotland arrived yesterday and it is wonderful.  So nice to have my trip laid out for me to relive over and over again.
