Still wearing her original skirt, I am not sure if the blouse or the knickers are from her. She seems almost untouched for 80+ years

My poor wee Mum! She was trying to catch a honey bee that had flown into the house. She ended up falling off the stool she was standing on and broke her knee!
She was happy to hear the honey bee managed to escape safely soon after - that sums my Mum up.
xx Get better soon Mum xx
Way too much things on my mind right now.
Little Toto has been a sick little kitty recently. The vets think it's asthma. I think it's a dust allergy.
I've sold a lot of my dolls recently to fund vet bills. Thanks to everyone who's helped!
Oliver my sweet cat got wounded, prbably by a non friendly cat. He got a big bite and had to go through a surgery with stiches. Now He is wearing this non frinedly "hat" (I am not sure how you call it).
Poor baby. I hope you get well soon :-(
Salem Poor (1748-1802) was an African-American slave who purchased his freedom, became a soldier, and rose to fame as a war hero during the American Revolutionary War.
Born into slavery in Andover, Massachusetts, Poor managed to buy his freedom in 1769 for £27. Poor soon married a free African American woman named Nancy. In 1775, he enlisted in the militia, serving under Captain Benjamin Ames in Colonel James Fryes' regiment, opposing the British troops stationed in Boston. Poor is best remembered today for his actions during the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he is credited with mortally wounding British Lieutenant Colonel James Abercrombie.

This entire series of stamps uses an impressionistic drawing. The result is an image that looks nice from a distance but is fuzzy close up. Remember these are made to be viewed from a distance as you would an envelope

Bangkok, Thailand - Apr 23, 2017. A poor boy rowing boat on channel near Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand.

Out of the Archives: During construction of the Poor Farm Arch--a bridge being built to carry the Catskill Aqueduct over the Kleine Kill in New Paltz--a road trestle curves over the open end of the Catskill Aqueduct, into which runs the contractor’s railway for carrying concrete materials. The old Poor Farm Reservoir dam is in the background. April 5, 1912. (Image ID: p001158)
On our camping trip a couple of days ago, Sophie injured her eye. We don't know how it happened. Either she scratched it on a bush or while playing with another of our dogs. The vet cleaned it out and put a collegen patch over the cornea and then pulled the third eyelid up over the eye and sewed it up with 2 buttons to hold it in place. I was suprised that they used real buttons. She will be able to take the collar off and have the stitches out in 2 weeks. I am not looking forward to trying to keep her down and away from the other dogs. She is our most active Pug. She is totally bewildered by this and I hope she has no lasting damage.
Out of the Archives: In this rollercoaster of a historical view, we see a temporary road trestle curving over the open end of the Catskill Aqueduct, into which runs the contractor’s railway for carrying concrete materials. Another railway zips under the trestle on the right. All of this to ultimately build a bridge for the aqueduct to pass over the narrow Kleine Kill in New Paltz. April 5, 1912. (Image ID: p001158)
Capsaicin
Capsaicin is the ingredient found in different types of peppers, such as cayenne peppers, that makes the peppers hot. Capsaicin is trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-5 nonenamide, a naturally occurring alkyl vanillylamide and a type of capsaicinoid. Capsaicin and several related compounds are called capsaicinoids and are produced as a secondary metabolite by certain plants of the genus Capsicum (chile peppers), probably as deterrants against herbivores. There are two main capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin and three minor capsaicinoids, nordihydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin.
The chili pepper, red pepper and paprika are all species of capsicum. Capsicum is the dry powder obtained by grinding up the fruits of these plants. Capsicum oleoresin (or capsaicin oleoresin) is the liquid concentrate extracted from the dry powder. Capsicum has recently been officially defined in the USP 23 where it is defined as the dried ripe fruit of Capsicum frutescens Linne or Capsicum annum Linne. Capsaicin is the most pungent of the capsaicinoids, followed by dihydrocapsaicin. Pure capsaicin is a lipophilic colorless odorless crystalline to waxy compound. It is very soluble in fats, oils and alcohols. Capsicum also contains a red coloring matter, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid.
Capsaicin health benefits
Capsaicin is used in topical ointments to help relieve a certain type of pain known as neuralgia. Capsaicin is also used to temporarily help relieve the pain from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Neuralgia is a pain from the nerves near the skin
surface. This pain may occur after an infection with herpes zoster (shingles). It may also occur if you have diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that occurs in some persons with diabetes. The condition causes tingling and pain in the feet and toes. Capsaicin will help relieve the pain of diabetic neuropathy, but it will not cure diabetic neuropathy or diabetes. Capsaicin works by first stimulating and then decreasing the intensity of pain signals in the body. Substance P is believed to be involved in two processes central to arthritis. By blocking the production and release of substance P, capsaicin can reduce the pain associated with arthritis as well as dampen the transmission of pain messages to the brain.
Capsaicin acts as an antioxidant, protecting the cells of the body from damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Capsaicin also may help prevent bacterial infections. When peppers are eaten or taken as a dietary supplement, capsaicin may improve digestion by increasing the digestive juice in the stomach and by fighting bacteria that could cause an infection. Capsaicin may help prevent heart disease. It may stimulate the cardiovascular system and lower blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It also helps prevent clotting and hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis). Capsaicin may also thin mucus and help move it out of the lungs. It is also thought to strengthen lung tissues and help to prevent or treat emphysema.

Despite the fact that most of the bird photos that I have posted this afternoon are cropped and poor quality and have been posted really just for the record, I think I have made a good start on Day 5.
This was a really special full day, from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, on 23 March 2019, Day 5 of our 13-day birding holiday in South Texas. Before we left Calgary, we had booked a tour at The King Ranch and we were greatly looking forward to it. The area we explored was way south on the ranchland, called the Norias Division. The driver of the van/mini-bus was Barb, who did a great job of finding 47 bird species for us, and also trying to find a tiny Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. We also bumped into Barb's boss a couple of times and he went off in search of an owl. Almost at the end of our great day, he managed to find a pair of them! A man, originally from Holland, but now living in Houston, had travelled all the way to the King Ranch, hoping most of all to see one of these beautiful owls. The rest of us had actually seen one of these owls on our Trinidad & Tobago trip in 2017. He joined us for the day and, needless to say, he was delighted that his sought-after species was successful. The owls were far away, so photos (to be posted later) are very distant, but what a gorgeous pair of little owls they were. Everyone was thrilled to bits. Many thanks to Tom (?) for searching and searching!
"In 1853, Captain Richard King purchased a creek-fed oasis in the Wild Horse Desert of South Texas, sparking generations of integrity, preservation, and innovation.
King Ranch now covers 825,000 acres—more land than the state of Rhode Island. Over the course of over 160 years, King Ranch led some of the first cattle drives, developed the Santa Gertrudis and Santa Cruz breeds of cattle, bred the finest Quarter Horses, and produced champion Thoroughbreds—all under its iconic Running W® brand.
Today’s King Ranch is a major agribusiness with interests in cattle ranching, farming (citrus, cotton, grain, sugar cane, and turfgrass), luxury retail goods, and recreational hunting."
Some of the species we were already familiar with, but new birds included the amazing Scissor-tailed flycatcher, Vermilion Flycatcher, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, and Bronzed Cowbird. I was really hoping that we might see a Green Jay, and I was in luck.
A variety of wildflowers, a mushroom (Ink-cap or similar), a beautiful moth, and several deer added to our enjoyment. We were also very lucky to see a Javelina/Collared Peccary travelling fast through the bushes. Another sighting that was as fleeting as could possibly be were half a dozen Nilgai Antelope.
"Texas is home to more free-range nilgai antelope than their native country of India. Originally stocked on the King Ranch in the 1930’s, these sporty game animals quickly took hold and are currently free- ranging on a handful of large private properties in lower South Texas." From link below.

For me, I think the highlight of the day was when I happened to spot a tiny Texan Horned Lizard / Phrynosoma cornutum. A few years ago, I had been so disappointed to miss a trip to SE Alberta to see a Horned Lizard. At the King Ranch, we were standing still for some reason, when something caught my eye near my shoes. I thought a small piece of dead, faded plant had blown in. Then it moved again, still not far from my feet. Couldn't believe my eyes!! What an interesting creature - it actually can shoot blood from small protuberances by its eyes when it feels threatened! Will post photos later, when I get to them.

We had lunch outside and were visited by a beautiful, curious White-tailed Deer. Several others were also seen while we were driving around the ranchland.
A good day, for sure, and we appreciated the effort that Barb and her boss put into searching for various species.
With Russians everywhere, The Germans last hope of defending themselves was to let out their creature. Problem is it attacked their own troops! Ripping apart the people who made it into the abomonation it now is.
Just a Poor Charlie Vig.
