Today the temp is a delightful 49 degrees escorted by 93% humidity, calm winds and partly cloudy skies. Perfect for my morning musings. Perfect for the chance to greet many visitors. Yet, aside from a whole squadron of pterasaurs of varying sizes and persuasions, none of whom I consider visitors so much as invaders, I got no visitors at all. I sat on the Front Porch steps for quite a long time with my camera at the ready and my size 11 missiles locked and loaded. Finally I gave up wondering where every thing was, disarmed the missiles, turned off the camera and prepared to leave the Porch when, all of a sudden the answer came to me. Oh yes it did. Yep. Uh-huh. A very large, very beautiful owl flew out of the tree right in front of me!!! OF COURSE IT DID!! AFTER I TURNED OFF THE BLASTED CAMERA!! HUMPHF!!!!! sorry... still working on the excessive humphfing. Never saw it, never heard it, never knew it was just 30 feet from me!! No wonder there was nothing moving in the vicinity!! So, the only picture for you today is of one of my missiles, code named Slipper Left. That and chippys grape sitting near the edge of the bottom step. Humphf.... sorry. Still working on it....
