GET OUTTA HERE, MONDAY!!!! 06-06-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Monday.  Or is it, "GET OUTTA HERE, MONDAY!!!!"  Yeah, I think for me it's the latter.  I am very glad this Monday is almost over.  Now, I know this picture has nothing in focus, but I think it makes its point.  One goose was getting on the other's nerves, and, well, had to leave.  This is usually how I feel about Mondays, only I don't get to chase them away.  I just have to work through the day.  Oh well, I made it - and so did you.

I hope your Monday was chase free.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Treasure Island Tuesday 01-19-16

Hello and happy Tuesday.  Have you ever thought of Tuesday as an island?  I did today.  Think about it - it follows Monday and that's good, but you've still just started the week and it's not Wednesday.  No one ever says, "Yay, it's Tuesday", like they do Friday. They don't say "Oooh, it's Hump Day", like on Wednesday.  They don't say, "We're almost there", like they do on Thursday.  They don't even say, "Doggone it, it's Monday!".  And obviously there's nothing like "Woohoo, it's the weekend". No, Tuesday is its own little island. 

You'd expect a nondescript day like Tuesday to have no real value.  Maybe it's all in how you look at it - Tuesday might just have a few "treasures".  Take this little island, for instance.  It doesn't look like much, it's not very big, but it has value.  There are bushes that hide Canada Geese hatching their young; there are tree trunks for birds to perch; and there is a nest for Great Blue Herons to raise their young.  So maybe Tuesday does stand by itself, but it does have value.  Remember, you have to pass through Tuesday to get to Wednesday.  (smile)  So Tuesday, all by itself, becomes a treasure.

I hope you enjoyed your treasure of Tuesday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Sunday Sunrise and Coffee With the Neighbors 11-15-15

Hello and Happy Sunday.  I just couldn't resist giving you two pictures today - one of a blessed sunrise and another of morning coffee with the neighbors.  In this case the neighbors are the Canada Geese seen in the distance.  It was such a nice, quiet morning.  Hoping that I have many, many more mornings just like this.

Thursday's Family Time

Copyright 2015 AJ Horton

Happy Thursday all.  Today we have a little family time.  The little goslings are usually able to fly in about ten weeks.  The parents - especially the dad - will "vigorously defend" them until they're able to fly according to the "Living with Wildlife" website.  Even when they are able to fly, the young ones usually stay with the family unit for about a year.

This weekend is significant in the United States of America as July the 4th represents Independence Day.  July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed declaring our independence from Great Britain after the American Revolution.  Now this is a time of parades, fireworks, community and family and friend visiting including cookouts with great times.

There's nothing wrong with having family time early, though, and today is a great time to start.  Might as well get a head start.  I hope you had a great Thursday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.
