I’m outta here, gotta see a man about a sheep. Be careful out there; be wary of strangers with more dogs than teeth; show love to your pets; try to not let life get in the way of living; And, of course, “Let us prey.” Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture.

PS. Keep on humming, Hummingbird. On the sheep, Grace. Missing the Venerable Pheasant.
