Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2003. Mattie was a year and half old. This was typically how Mattie watched a video or TV show. He was the ultimate multi-tasker. As he had to be busy moving or doing something, but was still following along with what was on the screen. We kept all of Mattie's video tapes under the TV. As you can see, Mattie was taking out all the boxes. He then would stack and play with them. The only thing on the TV screen that would stop Mattie in his tracks and get his full attention was Elmo from Sesame Street. Mattie could be somewhere else in our home, but as soon as he heard Elmo's voice, he came running to the TV.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people diagnosed with the virus: 7,589,353
- number of people who died from the virus: 212,466
Last night before I went to bed, a felt a migraine coming on. But in addition to the headache, the area around my right eye had a stabbing pain. Unfortunately, the pain continued today. I would call the pain, excruciating, and it is more reminiscent of my one time experience with a cluster headache. Mainly because the pain is concentrated on one side, is around one eye, and the pain is ten times worse than a migraine. My issues are so significant today, that I can't spend much time reading anything or on the computer. Things were so bad that I went outside on our balcony with Sunny and both of us were lying on the ground. I needed fresh air and no other noise.
Sunny went for his monthly grooming today. After that we took him for a walk around Huntley Meadows. A park Mattie used to love.Sunny was so excited to explore new territory, that he was practical running through the woods.
Huntley Meadows is known for its birds. Do you see this cute woodpecker on the tree?
There is an amazing boardwalk at Huntley Meadows. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on it. So I went out a few steps to take photos. But Sunny wasn't happy being left behind.
It's a bird's paradise. I went out on the boardwalk to snap a photo of this Great Blue Heron.
The water was filled with Willets, which are relatively large sized sandpiper birds.
A Mattie favorite! Turtles were everywhere, with their heads up enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
The boys were left behind!
