I was thinkin'... thinkin' makes my head hurt so I don't engage in the activity often. Words can save so many memories. Good ones. Bad ones. Fun ones. Sad ones. Everyday it seems like thousands of memories are made and out of all that are made, I choose to set to words a moment on the Front Porch. I can't decide if that's good, bad, fun or sad. But, as always, the Porch provided many memories this morning. None of which can be substantiated with a photo. Well, none except for the Moon. Life moves too fast for a slow camera hand. A Great Blue Heron flew right over the Front Porch. What a beautiful sight that bird was! Three Robins engage in a fantastic aerial battle for food rights in the neighbors yard across the street. They took it high into the tree tops all the way down to the ground and through the yards of several other neighboring homes. I could hear them smashing into the tree limbs and leaves as they fought. The great thing about their food fights is that, although one will eventually win the war, there are never any casualties. All combatants went about their daily foraging as if the war never occurred. Twitchy was racing, in that special twitchy way, through the Woods. This time there was no fall from the trees. If he is a juvenile, he is perfecting his climbing skills rapidly. Chippy popped out of the home den under the Porch, executed a lovely startle at the sight of a large camera toting lump looming so close, and bolted back to the den. A Bluejay sat high up a tree in the Woods vocalizing throughout all the comings and goings as though providing commentary to all that was happening. It was during one of my many attempts to locate and photograph the Jay that my eyes caught sight of the Moon playing peek-a-boo through the tree limbs. That lovely orb was good enough to allow it's photo to be snapped before dipping out of sight behind the trees. I can say without doubt I had a wonderful 10 minutes on the Porch this morning. Made even more wonderful with 52 degrees of calm and partly cloudy skies. May your life be filled with many wonderful memories that can be remembered in your own special way. Live Laugh and Love my Fellow Travelers of the Universe.
