Had an eighty+ year old neighbour once (Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides) who used to run his croft and get over fences by putting one hand on a post upright and jumping - he swore that his secret was drinking a pint of hot water every morning!
Buttercup: I'm very fond of the little buggers. Currently I'm feeding some gray squirrels, brown squirrels, an albino and a little red squirrel who gives meaning to the expression "squirrely".
Owl: I googled Isle of Lewis to learn more about leaping octogenarians
Owl, cont: I was shocked to learn that there are islands for another hundred miles north of Scotland. It looks like a cold place year 'round so no doubt, the residents are better preserved. Even if I were in the Outer Hebrides, I fear my leaping days are over!
I'm a big fan of my home state of Minnesota, especially because all of my kids and grandkids live here. I'm retired but keep busy with puttering, volunteering and writer's groups. I have three well-loved kitties who keep me smiling. I am surrounded by trees and wildlife even though I live within a few miles (as the crow flies) of the state capitol building in downtown St Paul. This keeps me quite contented.

He's a cute little guy with a great message.
Nothing beats H2O when you really need a drink.
