Pileated Woodpecker

The largest woodpecker in North America - this one lives in our neighborhood.  I think we might have a pair - but this is the male.

We had a good discussion this morning at church about community - what is it, how to strengthen it. Good communities vs negative communities.

It made me think of how wonderful it is to have a safe space where I can be my authentic self. So thank you, Blip - you are one of my most treasured communities.

Also - I was able to sleep last night - Thanks for all the good wishes - I know that the stress will pass - but it is good to be armed with hints and helps
