Thank you! I managed to dodge it as well the last time it made its way around our inner circle. I think the strains now are much more tame than those first few from 2019-2020. The delta variant seems to be the one that caused people the most problems.

That's sad about the trees. I'm glad nature is so resilient. We've been back to the city park where we fed the squirrels last summer several time and all the squirrels seem to be gone. We're not sure if the city stepped in and had them live-trapped and moved or if some sort of disease swept through.

We love this channel. I think the wildlife has gotten used to this couple over many years.
