Hello from paradise!

I'll begin with an update on my sister, Mary Ellen-she had her last chemo treatment on Monday where she was presented a certificate of Accomplishment for completing her treatment program. We saw her surgeon on Wednesday and since she has elected to have reconstructive surgery we won't get a surgery date until she sees a plastic surgeon. Hopefully, they can coordinate times and dates for surgery some time in early June.
My niece, Lorri rescued a kitten from her work place that someone dumped. Somehow they find her as 6 of her 8 dogs are rescues and all 4 of her cats also were rescued by her.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch I had the pleasure of seeing a Baltimore Oriole at the feeders. The Egyptian Geese paid a visit out on the wood pile in the pasture as I was letting one of the dogs out the front door. I caught a Scissortail Flycatcher on the barb wire fence near the pond. I just love their long split tails! There were turtles on the alligator head again and one of the 4 white ducks is missing. I found the 3 remaining ducks resting in the weeds.
And last but not least, Milo got himself stuck in a tree again. Obviously, he didn't learn his lesson the first time. He spent the night again until Mike could get the longer extension ladder from the ranch garage. Milo literally came down kicking and scratching as he wouldn't let go of the tree when Mike grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. When he did finally get him, the cat latched onto his leg and some cursing took place! Another rescue by Mike in the books and a happy ending although Mike lost a little blood!
