It Has Been A Great Day!

Today has been fun! This morning, after taking care of paperwork, I passed the window and saw this odd looking bird—eating some birdseed on the porch. I haven’t shown the pictures to Tony yet, but I am thinking it is a baby hawk, because Tony has seen a mama hawk, teaching her babies how to fly, for the past several days. If anyone can identify this bird, please let me know, by posting a comment. I’m hoping that it isn’t a baby buzzard—that’s getting a little too close to home for me—I’m only 56! Here are the pictures:


And then a beautiful hummingbird showed up!

After my photo session, I went over to visit with Kinky and Brian Kanof, the incredibly talented photographer—from El Paso. When I arrived, they were outside, sitting in chairs, near the Friedman Family Bone Orchard. At one point during our visit, Brian excused himself, and went into the Lodge, and then he came right back outside, carrying his gift for Tony, that he had personalized—it was a pool stick, and he had bought one for Kinky and himself, too! I loved it!

Around 12:30, Kinky called and asked Tony and me to come over, to help give Perky some pills. After we had given little Perk, her pills—we went outside for a visit. Then Mr. Magoo showed up looking just like Kinky, he was chomping on his doggie chewgar, that our great friends, Herb and Karen Cares, had given to him, on their visit, back in January. Gooie looked hilarious! Kinky said, “Like father, like son.”

Then our friend, Timothy Abnour showed up and came over to visit. Just minutes after his arrival—it started to sprinkle! “I think I just felt a raindrop,” Timothy said.

“Me, too,” Kinky said.

“It’s not rain,” Tony said. “Its the sap falling from the tree above.”

To prove it was sprinkling, Kinky, Timothy and I got up from our chairs, and walked away from the tree, to make sure it was rain. It was definitely—sprinkling! Here is a picture that I captured of them celebrating the rain, which sadly ended—two minutes later. No more rain.

Timothy needed to get back to work at the camp, so Kinky, Tony and I went into the Lodge. Kinky announced that he was on a winning streak, and that he had won the past five pool games, against five different players. He then challenged Tony to a game.

They both were shooting good shots, and it was fun to watch, even though the Medina Bulldog lost to The Hummingbird Man.
