I had noticed your fountain in a prior picture - I love it!

When it is hooked up and running, does the water recirculate? How nice to have an option to keep it fresh. Wondering if that helps from mosquitoes being drawn to it.

It’s been a while since I posted any pics so snapped this one just now.

Hi everyone, just checking in. I'm sorry I'm late but happy belated birthday Alex. My sister is on the mend finally but I tested positive today. Tuesday evening started feeling like a sinus infection was coming on and honestly that is what it feels like I have. A sinus infection from hades. I'm fully vaccinated and have been since April so hopefully it keeps it at a sinus infection type situation. I have no fever thankfully but my blood sugar levels are slightly elevated, not dangerous though yet. That is going to be the tricky part as of right now, because my doctor insisted I start steroids before it got to my lungs so prescribed a prednisone pack. I know from experience that steroids makes my levels go stupid, so instead of taking them like normal he wants me to only take 2 a day for a week. That way hopefully while it will increase my blood sugars somewhat it wont send me into the 500 plus range which will require hospitalization. Right now they are hovering at 180 to 200 but I'm crossing everything possible that I can manage to keep them below 350. Everyone else in the house is fine so far and are supposed to come off of quarantine next Wednesday, but we will have to see if that gets extended now with my positive result.

Hope you feel better and get through this as safely as possible @RebeccaBoyd !

PS, Dakota is a Redhead too. She's a Rhode Island Redhead! (You should be proud)

They are stubborn hens, and what ever works for me to get the point across, I will use.

Awww they're only doing what nature intended. To them it feels right.
