I have never seen as many birds, in as many varieties, as that which I saw today flocking on Fosdick Lake.
Including a big flock of seagulls.
What business do seagulls have being 100s of miles from the nearest sea?
The most surprising bird I saw today was the big turkey you see above. The big turkey seemed to lord it over the flock of odd ducks surrounding the big turkey. The odd ducks looked like the result of an illicit assignation between a seagull and a duck, with the seagull part manifesting itself in white seagull type heads, with below the neck looking duck-like.
My phone alerted me in the middle of the night, advising me to beware of strong winds on Christmas.
Why my phone feels I need this type advising in the middle of the night, I do not know.
The wind was a bit of a nuisance today.
The wind was so strong that during a couple gusts I had to hold on to my hat, lest it go airborne. At one point I sat at a picnic table to reply to an incoming text message. To do so I took off my sunglasses. A gust of wind soon sent my sunglasses flying off the picnic table, along with my walking stick.
Well, the turkey in the oven turned out well. I am now over turkey, except for leftovers, til next Thanksgiving.
Just got an email, sent from Arizona, from Cousin Jones. I have no cousins in Arizona, that I know of. Nephews, siblings, parental units and two in-laws, but no cousins that I know of. The email had a link to one of those JibJab cartoon things. This one had my mom sledding at high speed, along with at least two of my sisters. Maybe three.
How did they convince my mom to get on a sled? Very perplexing.....
