Nature Notes

It is so gorgeous in the woods now. There is more bright yellow in the leaves that are left on the trees. Maple trees in our neighborhood are vivid red. I just saw a goldfinch…all the males have changed to their winter colors now, drinking from our water feature just outside where I record. Usually they sit on the edge and drink from there but this one perched on a rock and sipped from the fountain. There are a lot of robins in the neighborhood. I saw a flock on my morning walk and there are some foraging outside now. The juncos are back, hopping along on the ground picking up seeds that have fallen from the feeders.l Yesterday on an afternoon walk I saw 2 butterflies! That is on October 31. One was a yellow sulphur and the other was a monarch. Good sightings but I hope that monarch keeps moving south as we could get very cold weather quite soon.

Sometimes people think that woodpeckers must get a headache or concussion when they drum or peck on trees. Fortunately for woodpeckers their skulls are spongy so to absorb pressure.

 Why Woodpeckers Don’t Get Concussions by Stephanie Pappos. Live Science.

Bird Brains: Why Woodpeckers Don’t Get Concussions by Nicole Fisher

The force of a woodpecker head-pounding can easily be a force of 1,000 times that of gravity. That would easily kill a human.

Even the woodpecker owes his success to the fact he uses his head and keeps pecking away until he finishes the job he starts. –Coleman Cox

Brioche is like the airlines. Great when things are going well and not so good when they go bad.

I used deep deep stash with the idea that this was a learning piece but it actually turned out ok. Brioche easier to learn with two colors.

Amy gave us tips and when we had problems she was a calm troubleshooter.

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
