Today was a good day for a visit to the carousel

Think you have the worst job on earth?

Think again.
Go here for a lovely example of a very bad job.

Attention Fan Boys and Girls!

Hurry and run to get your early tickets of Spiderman 3! You must be wearing your full regalia; spider stockings and tight black crime fighters (pajama outfit ok). No duct tape on the face mask will be allowed, and hand made web spinners made out of old garage remotes and dental floss won't be permitted. See who will win the, I am the biggest Fan Boy award. Run to your nearest comic book store for details.

Sunflowers

In the garden my big sleepy giants nod their heads in slumber. At seven feet high they are clumsy and heavy with seeds.

Riding the swing for the first time!

College or construction?

I have been really debating which I ought to do for work. I'm really divided about what I want to do more. It is very difficult to imagine walking away from what I have been doing for work for the last 7 years. However, I think I have discovered something that might make me feel equally happy! It doesn't involve cranes, books, stealing cars, black market perfume, endangered animals, cooking (blah!), heavy work boots, smuggling cigars over the border, or pedigreed dogs. Care to guess what it might be?

The fighting birds

Up on the windswept hill above my house, is a group of tall green pine trees. They tower around a seventy feet high, and bend and move in the elevated breezes. In the very tippy-top of one of them a pair of white sea hawks has been busy making a nest. I looked them up online and they are called white tailed hawks. A few trees over from them, a family of rowdy and loud neighbors have decided to make their own nest.
Its the hawks against the ravens.
I took the baby out for a walk yesterday and I had to stop in the mid-hill to watch in horror and amazement. A hawk was gliding in a for a peaceful landing, when POW, a raven knocked him upside down. I could see a burst of feathers, and his small red claws turned up in surprise! He must have been totally stunned by the blow, because he fell about ten feet upside down before he got his balance in the air again. They have been fighting all the time lately. The babies must make them more protective and territorial. A baby will make you act like that, I guess.
