Got 2 funny ones from the heart I thought I would share:
A Couple of weeks back, Ladybug
& I are out & about a jogging around our local park when suddenly we chance upon a rather large pond.
Now keep in mind it's 6 am in the morning with the temps hovering around 36 degrees as we can hear the soft "QUACK- QUACK" noise getting louder and louder the closer we get to the pond.
It's just barely still night out and all we could see are the shadowy little black dots of the ducks bobbing up and down in the water.
So here I am thinking / debating on whether of not to introduce her to the wacky world of birds (she has never seen one before) as we are getting closer and closer to the edge of the pond.
Suddenly, 'Bright me' gets an idea
to go ahead and let her see the Ducks and off we went to the edge of the Pond.
not realizing that there had to have been an overhang of land protruding out over the water, Ladybug & I accidently litterally walked upon and promptly scared up (my best guess) approx 300 Mallard Ducks!!
My reaction??
LADYBUG'S REACTION??
After she fell back into me, she recovered and made a quick bee-line for the water.......
Okokokoko......I will admit I was at first wanting to jump in after her (fearing for her safety) but I soon realized to let her be.
THANK GOSH the birds got the jump on us via the element of surprise -
Ladybug got what she wanted......
and me??
I wound up with a cold, wet and smelly Dog in my car on the way back home!!
- (we have since then graduated up to now jogging to and from the park) -
Hmmmmm......now did I learn??
SO here it is yesterday - around 6am and she & I were trying out another newly 'discovered' section of the park for us when outta no where, I kept on hearing what sounded like a wail of a Dog somewhere close by.
It kept of wailing 3 times and then would stop - 3 times and then it would stop......
NOW THAT CREEPED ME OUT
cuz it was dark and all I could see was the dark sillouettes of the trees and that's about it (there is a windy-curvy concrete trail / pathway that winds it way and splits off into a zillion different directions at this park aptly named "Duck Creek Park)."
We keep on walking when suddenly outta no where flies this
THING -
** RIGHT AT US!! **
IMO, the wing span looked huge!!
Ladybug spies this 'intruder' and attempts to grab at her early morning breakfast but misses as it was just a wee bit outta her reach - and flies away.
OR SO WE THOUGHT.
A few minutes later, the mystery got resolved as I realized that the wail sound of from what I thought was a Dog earlier was ACTUALLY AN OWL!!
A FREAKIN' OWL!!
Now that's Pretty dang cool I will admit as we have seen a zillion Mallard Ducks all fly away at once.......
And now an Owl.
About Ladybug??
I am just countin' my lucky stars that she hasn't caught anything......YET.
Just a matter of time though.
ANYWHO -
Toldja those two little ditties to now tell ya this -
With the Scarborough Faire (in Waxachie, Texas) Scottish Highlander games now just a few more weeks away, I thought it makes for some pretty interesting conversation to know that Scotland will be having a vote in October to remain part of England OR to break away from them.
AND LOOK WHERE I WILL BE IN AUGUST -
I will quietly blog aout this as I am out and about in the Scotland area
AND........
this is the 50th aniversary of the Beatles rock group.
Where will I be in August??
** LIVERPOOL **
Gonna be an interesting adventure I can tell.
Holding steady on my weight - so is L.B.'s
I go in to see the Doc in 2 more weeks - will tell ya whats up on my numbers as I really don't wanna follow in the footsteps of Jim Henson's Son.
(FYI- that stinks by the way that we lost him - such a wonderful person with a creative mind).
Allrightee -
Will jump back in n about the March 7th area.
**** T-MINUS 174 MORE DAYS ****
UP NEXT:
Where I will be in 2015
