Mid July 23

July has mostly gotten by me and I am still behind on my posting. I would guess that is normal for a casual blogger like me. I did get a new toy on Prime Day. I bought a Google Pixel Watch.

New Toy

I haven’t worn a watch since smart phones took over that function. But this new tech is very dick tracyish from the 1930’s. It can do texting, calls and email. It also keeps track of me, heartrate, breathing, exercise and health. Big brother has arrived. I cant believe I surrendered to the seduction of big TECH. Next thing you know it will be implanted and grafted to a nerve so the GOVMENT can control me. It is clearly time for a sturdy tin foil hat to protect me from them. Its like hosting a parasite that eats time.

I wish I could use the excuse that nuttin evah happens in NewMahket for not blogging, but the evidence suggests I am either lazy or busy. I will let you guess which is closer to the truth,

BOIDS

The eagles are keeping a look out on me as well.

Eagle Nest

The turkeys are routinely hanging out in the yard and the littles are getting bigger.

We have two crow families that frequent the feeders as well, one fish crow and the other American crow.

The Orioles are still around.

I haven’t been as active taking pictures of the birds as I have been in the past. Eventually I plan to sit on the bench and get close ups of the activity in Mark’s Folly, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Mammals

We have a new crop of young deer to entertain us.

We have a mangy fox. Luckily it has the mange in the summer and therefore it is likely survivable.

July just flew by. The hot and humid weather has tended to keep us indoors.
