Good morning. Stepped out on the Front Porch, as usual, checked
the weather report, as usual, snapped the picture to illustrate the weather
report, as usual, hit a few of the wrong keys on the phone, AS USUAL, listened,
looked, smelled and tried to "feel" the weather and the morning, as
usual, decided there was nothing unusual enuf to note and was turning to go
back inside to make me a cup of this vile black liquid that me and 90% of my
fellow humans here in the good ole U.S. of A. start our morning with, as usual,
when a crow who, apparently, was perched on the roof directly above
me, loudly bellowed out a response to another crow I had been listening to in
the distance. Did I say bellowed? Capitalize that. He BELLOWED his response.
The resulting jump-start to my heart and body sent the phone tumbling into the
air which sent my hands tumbling thru the air, of their own accord mind you, after
the blasted thing, trying to save it from a potentially deadly fall down the
porch steps. I guess my hands forgot for a moment that they were attached to
ME. I was ungracefully dragged down the steps in a stumbling, tumbling ballet
of sorts as my hands continued to juggle the phone in the air, until we all
finally landed in a heap on the grass. We are all unscathed, the phone, my hands and I. Grass is a good
thing. The fact that the ground hasn't frozen yet, also a good thing. I would
punish my hands for their complete disregard of my well being but I can't
figure out how to do that without causing myself pain. And I might have given
serious consideration to shooting the crow had there been a gun in my hands as
he flew off. I think he was laughing at me. But my only choice at the end of my
dance down the steps was to say "Good morning" to the huge grin that was walking his
dogs by the house at that moment. WHY is there ALWAYS a witness!?
34°, 96% humidity calm winds with "fog?". There ain't no fog bank out there...
May your day be stumble, tumble and trip free!! Ti amo!
