1497. feelin’ all right!

rain

in the forecast, next three days—

polishing my boots 

 

When I sit down with my morning cup of coffee, first thing I do is look at the weather. I’m so happy, I could go dancing💃 in the rain! ☔️

dan and me

he he!

1496. just hangin’

is he dead?

fish in the fish bowl—

nope! that’s finny 

Headstand? Nose dive? Sleeping? Nope—just hangin! I had to look again…and again…and again. For the longest while, he wasn’t moving at all, just hanging bottoms up. Made me think of another time Finny was just hanging belly up for the longest time. Belly up. Bottoms up. That’s Finny, He’s a funny fish. 

1495. ooh!

ooh! 

a hundred yards away or more—

it’s huge!

That’s no hawk, it’s huge! It’s an eagle! White head and tail feathers—its imposing size sitting solidly in that tree, 100 or 125 yards away. Unmistakable. We waited and waited, hoping to catch site of the magnificent bird lifting off and soaring into flight. It didn’t. 

National emblem of the United States, the eagle has no fear of adversity and lives 20 to 30 years in the wild. The mature bird stands 3 feet tall or more, has a wingspan up to 7.5 feet, can weigh 15 pounds, and dive at the speed 99 mph. No wonder it’s called, “king of birds.”
