Hi folks! I’m sorry I have been E & T. I had another one of “those” weeks.
I had to work overtime a couple of nights and that really washes me out.
I hope everyone is doing well. DR Elmore, the time for your surgery is coming near—you know you have my every wish for a safe and speedy recovery. I so hope that this time takes care of the problem.
Last night I came home late and intended on posting but when I went out to feed the dogs, I had a baby bird problem. When I went to get the hose to give the dogs fresh water, there he/she sat, looking up at me with big bright eyes.
I asked if he could fly and tried to chase it but it was just at the hop/flap/run stage. I guess he jumped out of the nest to soon.
I knew he couldn’t stay in the back yard because the dogs might hurt it so I made sure the dogs were in their pen then I went in and got a towel. I used that like a net, caught the little thing and moved it to the front yard. Both Mama and Papa bird were quite interested in what I was doing with their baby.
I put him in a bush and went in the house to watch what would happen. Sure enough, here came one of the parents to feed him so I hope it all turned out ok.
I could have kept him but baby birds need to be fed so often and with Mom still not up to snuff, I couldn’t leave it for her to feed when I go to work so I had to hope nature would help him.
I’ve looked everywhere for the baby this morning but couldn’t find hide nor hair nor feather (which is a good thing, I guess). I wish him luck. Such a cute little baby Blue Jay.
Hard to believe that it was one year ago today I was in Salt Lake City. Tonight was the first night of Michael Ball’s two concerts. Today I shall only play his music in honor of this and try to think back and remember the whole concert.
I also have to tell you all about the funny dream I had yesterday. It was like an underwater movie. The “camera” or me or whatever was on the bottom, looking upward. I could see the sun and fish and a submarine moving towards the surface. Then “I” started laughing to myself and thought, “I wonder where the giant squid is. There’s ALWAYS a giant squid in these types of movies.” Sure enough, here he came and attached himself to the sub! I was really laughing then. Just then, the alarm went off and I woke up—still laughing.
You guys should know by know that I am a BIG Science Fiction Fan. I grew up on the stuff, Frank Herbert, Lester Del Ray, Piers Anthony, etc, etc. My all time favorite book is “Dune”
My current reading material includes a book by K.J. Anderson, “Captain Nemo”—which, BTW, has nothing to do with my dream because I forgot all about it until you mention Sci Fi books! I need to get reading!
Have a GREAT day all! I need to take the dogs for their walk then go do the weekly shopping. My life is just to exciting.
