Okay, did not hit the turn around with this germ battle yet. Yesterday got fed up with the house and thought some fresh air and daylight would help. Armed with my tumbler of hot tea and Kleenex decided to get the new batch of leaves that had fallen. It went fine during the raking and blowing bits but would regret the vacuuming up/mulching part all night. Found that eyes and sinuses that are not happy already really get vengeful if irritated more. They really do not like leaf dust. Very itchy, sneezey, swollen and teary all night besides the existing germ features. Today things are back to where they had been. Food choices are easy, can not really taste much, stamina is down though so not burning much. Maybe Monday will have things back to normal. Starting to miss that good feeling after working out.
As I write this the backyard is showing another sign the season is changing. It is Feeder Central! Birds that usually have other food sources are flying in right and left. Blue Jays, Cardinals, Chickadees, three kinds of woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Finches, Sparrows ... the regulars not to mention the squirrels and chipmunks. It seems like the Juncos should be back but have not seen any yet. Earlier the Cooper's hawk dropped by but there was not much here then. Guess his timing was bad. It is just nice to see all the activity and color with the trees and plants going bare.
