Happy Tuesday every one! Here in Kentucky it's a brisk 53 degrees this morning. After the last few days of warmer weather and wearing shorts and t-shirt I'm back to wearing jeans and a hoodie. I know...not very classy or elegant, but can't help it. I'm cold!! The rest of the week, however, is supposed to be in the lower 90's. I'll probably be wishing for 53 again! But, why worry about the temperature when you have no control over it. I just need to roll with the flow and take each gorgeous summer day as it comes.
I set up in my favorite spot on the back deck around 8:00 a.m. with a large mug of hot coffee. I'm drinking Wolfgang Puck's Breakfast in Bed with a little Cold Stone Creamery Sweet Cream in it. Yum!! As I'm sitting here I heard an owl hooting in the distance. That's unusual because I mainly hear them at night. I was curious about what he was hooting at and then a couple of minutes later...you guessed it...the eagle came back. She landed up in a tree by the pond. I must have scared her because she flew off and didn't land down at the pond as normally happens. I think I'm going to stop trying (for a while) to get a picture of her and just sit and watch what she does. Pretty much every day she's been down at the pond looking for fish. Most times I see her anywhere between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. I just find eagles so fascinating!I guess it's because we're not used to seeing them locally. They must be nesting nearby since they are making a daily trek to my pond. I think there's a male and female because they are different sizes. My guys need to go fishing at the lake and bring them back here to restock the pond. I don't want to run out of fish and the eagles not come back!!
Yesterday, while I was outside with my little Pomeranian I let her go off the porch by herself. She usually looks like a big puff ball with all her fur, but she went to the groomers last week and had her summer cut, so now she looks so much smaller! I was keeping an eye on her and she was just laying in the drive way sunning herself along with Louie the kitty puss. As they were sunbathing I heard the warning cry of the crows and suddenly the eagle flew right over my dog and cat! The eagle was headed to the pond, but circled back when spotting puss and sis!! I didn't want to scare the eagle, but at the same time I didn't want it to get my babies. As I'm standing there trying to yell in hushed tones (that's extremely difficult to do) to the dog to get her little butt up on the porch she prettily turns around and just looks at me as if I've completely lost my marbles. She's giving me that look as though she's saying, "Yeah, right...I'll be there when I get there." Try as I might to get the little heifer on the porch I have to finally yell to make her get up and all that time the eagle is getting closer and closer! Needless to say, but, I scared the eagle off and rescued my girl! They're both inside today...LOL.
Well folks, that's all the excitement I've had recently under the Cerulean skies. I hope each of you have a wonderful and truly blessed week.
Take Care,
