Jan 3 @ 11:07 Was up early this morning & when I opened the curtains over the picture window I got a GREAT thrill! There was a red-tailed hawk poking around on the ground RIGHT OUTSIDE the window! Great close-up view of it, though it only lasted a few seconds. He looked at me, then flew away. His amazing wing-span looked so much bigger up close! I wouldn't have had time to take a picture even if I'd had my phone or camera with me, but we have plenty of them & see them fly through (SO FAST!) fairly often as they hunt. They are welcome to our plethora of mice & other rodents, & tend to leave our squirrels & pigeons alone, even though these hawks look big enough to prey on them. Anyway, that was such a great way to start the day! I also did some moderating, & got a post up with my PoiBoiz. They love living in Myrtle so much, I can tell by how active they are, in the motorhomes we've lived in (since 2015) they didn't fly around for fun like they do here, & spent a lot less time playing than they do now. I've had them for 20+ years (Elliot since 1998, and got Max a couple of years later) & love to see them so active & playful again! No plans, we'll see what develops today. Enjoy yours❣️
Sep 11 @ 14:10 - Happy birthday, Daddy...he'd have been 91 today; he was 66 when he died. Going to do something a little different for Supernal Sunday post. Gray, muggy but chilly; expecting rain and storms today. Pete adjusted the tarp (it shifts around a little on windy days) and I have a better view out the windshield now when I'm in my spot on the davenport, or playing my keyboard. My poi boiz aren't getting out with me like they should because it's hard to manage them right now (they get into lots of stuff and I have to go get them) and they aren't understanding why, which makes me sad - and I miss cuddling their little feathered soft selves... We are looking at options for a different RV and top priority is a bunk room so I have a place for my keyboard/instruments, comfortable seating, and birds - which will be bird-safe and have a door to contain them yet offer plenty of space to play and exercise and cuddle with me... Later taters❣️
