The Front Porch Swing

[BDBoop]

A new week. Wonder what it will bring?

Good things. I am in an incredibly good mood. Our weather is improving, I get paid on Friday and I will be past my FMLA-induced state of broken budget since the end of February.

another day closer to Spring not that theres anything wrong w/ Winter.

Good Morning all!!

USS Constitution "Old Ironsides"

Thanks Connery. I was on that deck just a couple of months ago.

Hate it when I can't sleep. No reason, I feel fine but woke up at 3. BOING! Eyes wide open. Stayed in bed, tried to go back to sleep, finally got up and have actually gotten a lot done. Worked out and now I'm hungry.

Now, its getting light and soon the sun will come up over the lake. So beautiful. The fox will make his rounds and if I'm lucky, I'll get a glimpse of him as he comes up onto the deck and crosses along the back of the house. He cleans up whatever bird seed left from the night before and then hits our compost pile.

We take our bird feeders in because the raccoons will take them. They especially love the hummer feeders in summer. Last year, we watched on hang from a hummingbird feeder. It tipped because of his weight and as he glug-glugged as fast as he could, it was also running down his front. Doncha just know his family helped him wash up when he got home?

As soon as its light enough, the eagles will come to fish. Then, after they've gone, the vultures and pelicans will come to shop for their breakfasts.

The pelicans came early this year. Started with 6, all standing around on the ice, arguing about whose idea it was to get here while the lake was frozen over. Now there are approximately a gazillion of them. between the pelicans and the gulls, it looks and sounds like a Jacques Cousteau film of a rookery.

Still not quite light enough to hang the bird feeders.

G'Mornin all.

Man, that sounds idyllic!

 

[BDBoop]

Doesn't it just?

Okay, y'all. See you later, I have GOT to get some sleep.

 

[BDBoop]

Okay, I mean it this time. Nite!!

Something new for the Porch Swing.

Stat's wild tidbit of the day.

In a "madam, I'm Adam" fashion?

That's too funny.......

 

[Statistikhengst]

Bravo!!! Spot-on!!!

I wasn't the first to get it though.

It really is beautiful here. We were just out on the deck. The lake just comes alive at dawn - eagles, great blue herons, Canada geese, ducks. And now the songbirds are at the feeders.

I'd be jealous, but that's petty.

No, I checked. I'm jealous.

Today's Statalicious TIDBIT:

"Smoke on the Water". In 1971, the band Deep Purple was about to perform at a Casino in Montreux, Switzerland. Just before they went on, a fan fired a flame into the crowd, at the end of Frank Zappa's opener. The Casino burnt to the ground, spreading huge plumes of smoke across Lake Geneva, which inspired the band to write that song.




So, the next time someone flames you, you never know, maybe a composer will write a song about it!!!

 

[BDBoop]

Mornin! Less than two hours until my shift ends.

How do these things happen? This seven year-old must be a very old soul.
