Visits from friends.

Our red-tails were back yesterday, one of them playing on the high currents with another friend: The young golden was back yesterday, too. He soars so high, though, that that's about as close as I could get even with full zoom, but at least he stuck around long enough for me to catch a few shots. He's growing up; the majority of the white banding on his tail and wings is gone now.

But he's shown up intermittently over a long period now, so maybe he's making his home here. We can hope so. It's good to have visits from friends, and with these friends, we don't even have to stop work to visit with them; they skree at us from overhead, circle a few times and tip their wings, then go back to hunting or playing (or both simultaneously).

And the work never ends. Wings is out in the studio right now; I have to figure out how to bring in more business. As I've said, this is already the season of sixteen-hour days (and as I also said, the first month of it is already gone). I will be doing nothing but pushing sales for at least the next six weeks, and I need to make this happen sooner rather than later, because the tax burden won't wait, and there's too much else that needs doing, even as my illness leaves me with less function by the day now.  Which means I need help to get everything covered.

All the links are here; please, share them, too (and there's a new wishlist priority, the automatic composter, which will do wonders for saving on waste and allow Wings to compost the land and trees regularly even through the winter; my physical function is impaired enough now that things can only get done if I have the help of equipment like this):

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are, first and foremost, the automatic composter and the wheelbarrow, then the other ladder);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before late next year at the earliest, and this year's tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
