German television is loaded with animal and nature shows. On one of them yesterday, a vet was showing off a litter of baby bunnies while their mother hovered nervously nearby. The little fist-size furballs tried to follow him out of the hutch, but he gently pushed them back and said, “You stay here, or mama will be zickig.” Zickig: touchy, uptight, catty. Used to describe women. Not a nice word, but here it works.

Great photos Claire. I particularly enjoyed the circular reference in stone. Very amusing! Am I perchance the first to post on your blog? If so, let me say I am honored. If not, well, it’s still nice to touch bases with you again. Best wishes to one and all in the Dunkle family.
Hi, jmill, it’s great to hear from you again! You are indeed the first to post, and the honor is all mine. How’s Dallas? Are you ready to leave yet now that the state’s a disaster area? Best wishes to you and yours.
