This year's El Nino is the strongest on record. Experts are not sure how it will affect our weather quite yet.
Sorry I've been MIA so much. I'm not feeling well; and my shoulders/arms hurt a lot when I try to type...and, as usual, I'm always tired.
I am currently getting quotes on getting the deck repaired. It's going to be very expensive.
I miss all of you and hope I will be back on a regular basis soon.

Max is the one in front? He looks happy to have his photo taken; Ice, not so much.

Yes, that's Max in the front. Ice was a weird bird. I'm wondering if he was abused in his previous home.

@LindaOHio I have been drained here. But I have been taking naps or an hour or so to rest and off my feel. I like that; getting used to it!

@LindaOHio - usually El Niño brings hotter summers and warmer winters. Let's see.

@LindaOHio couldn’t find anything in Staten Island so my mother decided to get an apartment in Brooklyn where her friends and relatives live.

Have you got a device you can talk to text on to post? It might be better for you. We miss you.

I hope it is not as expensive as you think about repairing your deck.
