Oh, minque! I'm so sorry for your loss. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear that minque


May she rest in peace, and I hope you feel better soon. You have my condolences

And my condolences to you Minque as well.
There seems to be a lot of bad stuff about at the moment...

I know how you both must feel - in a sense, I lost my father when I was young and it wasn't the best of times; but you do learn to deal with it, even if it doesn't seem that way now...

I´m so sorry to hear about your loss, mALX My deepest sympathies to you and yours.

Thanks guys! In fact I feel Ok..she had a smooth non-painful passing..just the one that everyone wish for..So I'm currently at my daughter's place and we have made arrangements for the funeral...THEN on the other hand I will feel bad.. I hate funerals!

I didn´t see you had to suffer a loss too, minque Feel bad for you too and I agree of course; funerals are not something to look forward to..

The funeral's always the hardest. Sorry minque.

I'm sorry to hear it, minque. You have my sympathies.

Sadness comes in twos apparently.

My sympathies Minque.

My deepest sympathy, minque. Funerals are... hard. I will be thinking of you.

I remember my dad's funeral. He had been suffering for years, and had even told me months before he was ready to go. He was in constant pain, from when I was about thirteen to September of last year. Nine years of hospital visits, needle pokes, even lost his toe and half his leg. At the end, he wasn't even himself anymore. He just...faded.

It's hard. Really hard. Father's day is going to kill me. My husband and I got married on my dad's birthday because we wanted it to be a happy day.

At the funeral, all of the kids, all four of us, even my half brother, making five of us, got up and gave speeches. My mother and stepmom got up, my grandparents, uncle... Even eople who had only known him for a few months. He inspired people like that.

The lowering of the casket was...pure pain. Almost as bad as the moment when he passed.

I can't write about it any more. That's all I can say without opening up that entire experience again.

I know how bad it is to lose someone you love. Someone who made you want to be your best, and who encouraged you to do so.

So this morning has been really nice, with the inevitable heat and humidity more a hint than a promise. My front yard looks especially inviting (because you can’t see the mosquitos) with sun-dappled shade at this hour and the grass thick and green (since the drought/hurricane cycle hasn’t kicked in yet). And right in the middle there is a rabbit wallowing in the grass.

I’ve never seen a rabbit wallow before. They’re usually frantically nibbling my most expensive plants while they keep a terrified eye out for the hawks, owls, and now EAGLES that nest in our neighborhood. (We have a pair of bald eagles nearby. I am not kidding.) This one was stretched out with its back legs to the side sort of looking around.

So I let the little varmint have a peaceful time. Even though he is doubtlessly the evildoer who cropped all of the buds off of my coreopsis two nights ago, even though it’s supposed to taste bad.

While I was writing this it occurred to me that it may have been hit by a car and then dragged itself into the soft grass to expire. I checked. It’s gone now. Probably off planning its next meal.

Bunnies!!!!

forget the bunnies, EAGLES!!!

NO NOT THE BIRDS!

Oh yeah, sorry

Speaking of birds there's a nest on my air conditioners. The baby birds don't shut up. [censored]!!!

Luckily the first time I saw the eagles I was walking across a parking lot and not driving, or I would have certainly hit something. They were flying along together at tree-top level, the way they do for short distances (if that makes any sense). The Girl was with me, and we said the same thing. “EAGLES!!!” They are enormous.

There are a bunch nesting at a big lake near us (near in eagle terms), so I’m guessing these have moved into the suburbs from that area.

I’ve also seen them flying very low along the major road by us, right over the car. They are beyond awesome.


Good luck with sleeping next to a nest, KoB. What a racket!!

That would be cool if they weren't flying pecking machines with built-in eye gougers.

Birds of prey actually worry me a bit, lol

All right, subject change ahead.

Black Acre Brewing Co. Their home page is here: LINK. I indicated that I was under 21. Giggles followed.




Also, I'm pretty sure our owls could take a small cat. I think the eagles are big enough, but too lazy.

The only birds I can tolerate are parakeets.

Birds the topic of the day?

NO!
