One Can Hope

47 degrees, clear blue skies and calm winds have everything up and moving this morning. Except me. I turned off the much loathed alarm and promptly went back to sleep. *Humphf* As a result, my morning has been cut short, which in turn cut short my allowed time on the Front Porch, which resulted in a plethora of blurry useless pictures of the "everything up and moving" that was visiting this morning. Hence the humphfing. *Humphf* I don't think I am alone in this humphf of a morning. I moseyed around to the side of the house where I snapped the only picture that stepped out of the Bad category and into the Not Very Good category. The little Robin starring in the picture might be having an off day as well. The poor thing is a bit ruffled in the picture. Just seconds before, it flew in for a landing not 5 feet from me. A beautiful photo op! One that I was quick NOT to take advantage of. A sleep addled brain at it's best. Anyway, when the poor thing spotted me, in it's panic to avoid death by a pajama wearing reaper with bad hair, it flew straight into a set of my wind chimes. I haven't a clue what death the poor bird envisioned then. The squawks it let out were ear-piercing and when combined with the chimes, a very short heavy metal rock concert ensued! I think the only reason that poor Robin stopped long enough to allow me to aim my camera at it, was to make sure it's own heart was still beating. Perhaps our day will only get better from here on out! One can hope. Have a great day today, my Brothers and Sisters of the Universe!! I'M LATE!!!
