Sorry to hear that Carol - that sucks! I'm sure there will still be plenty of critters hiding under rocks when you are better!
See, I was going to do the rock thing today, but I was getting "sick" and now I am. Cold! HA! You!! No more lifting! And I love all your spottings. I love your enthusiasm and you of course are a very cool person. HA!
Tell me about it! I have a dodgy shoulder at the moment & lifting all these rocks isn't helping it much. The alternative is much worse though - a dearth of spottings over the colder months! :)
That's my favorite place to look. Too bad it gets harder to get up and down as we get older.
