new hip, gnats, who's that?

Heidi has a new hip. The hospital rings to tell me me that her operation to replace the old one went well. Hallelujah!

Gnats fly in and out of the low sunbeams, this afternoon. You only see them when the sun touches their wings.

A squirrel on the railings sees its reflection in the window of a car. It swings its tail frantically while the rest of its body remains dead still. Its little eyes are fixed on its moving tail.
