Subj : same as it ever was To : Nancy Backus From : Maurice Kinal Date : Sat Apr 28 2018 03:54:35 Hey Nancy! NB> just not piping up like I should be... I've noticed. NB> Spring seems to finally be here... even though the weekend NB> promises to be cool and possibly snow mixed with the rain... It's been gorgeous here over the last week, no rain, +20C highs, perfectly blue skies, etc. However just before the sun went down the wind picked up and there was a hint of chill to it. Like you it also is supposed to cool off this weekend, except not quite cool enough for snow thank goodness, with a chance of showers. NB> No quail here that I know of... that sounds like an interesting NB> sight to see... :) It is highly entertaining, especially with the hordes of chicks. Also they've gotten used to me so as long as I keep a safe distance they aren't spooked by me watching. One of the last times I saw them (no chicks) I noticed they had a spotter in the pear tree and pointed it out to the neighbour stating that is was as close to a partridge in a pear tree as we will ever get. As far as I know there are no partridges in this neck of the woods. Life is good, Maurice ....
