Would you believe...Boom! A GREAT WHITE off of my roof!

Yep, that is how my morning started while at this technological marvel called the computer a Great White Heron jumped down from our roof top in front of our sunroom window directly across from me, what a true wake up call, good morning… Instinctively, I thought he was after our treasure of gold…fish, that is, in our pond, and so I went to go out the door next to me to chase him (that’s a joke in itself, I can barely move and chasing him/her was just a wild, in your dreams type of expression), and realized it was locked! (That was a good thing for me, cause then what would I have done?) Apparently, the jiggling of the handle was enough to frighten him/her, and he/she flew away hastily. Then once calmed again I looked slowly towards the pond to reassure myself that he had gone before doing any true harm, and noticed our plastic tacky pink Flamingos still doing their sentry duty, and I felt stupid.
Why had we placed them there if not to suffice for that very job of protection; I was not needed at all or if I were I wasn’t about to find out today, that beautiful creature reacted more scared than I was. He/she more than likely will not be back for quite some time now.

As anyone who has been reading this Blog for any amount of time must realize today is Saturday my laundry and PBS, how-to shows day. I guess it all started when I was still working; doing the laundry not the how–to shows per se on my Saturdays off. The two combined became a unit except for planned activities or excitement and interest about the time I stopped driving about a year and a half ago. Now I am a burden in some ways, not unlike a child I must ask to go here or there, unless scheduled on our calendar of events. It’s just as well I am not driving or going outside that much according to my ACE inhibiter it too causes dizziness, not unlike my Ataxia, and my blood pressure medicine says do not stay out in the sun too long, but doesn’t say why, not to mention that my cholesterol medicine is the one that says NO GRAPEFRUIT or its juice!(And never mentions why either, just don’t!) Oh, I forgot, not a problem that tree is long gone; there’s a birdbath there now, a number one son gift, very pretty!

On that curious note, I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
