Indiginous neighbours

Another day of few words, so pictures will be me voice...the first one is just to say good morning to everyone - sunrise over our lake.

The others are of a pair of sand cranes who frequent our area, they are quite friendly -not shy at all, in fact the bigger one of the two (I assume he is the male) approaches me with no hesitation when I am outside with them and seems to be be checking me out to see if I have any food. The big one (nicknamed by me as Ricky as in Ricardo) stands nearly as tall as I am (5'7) but maybe a few inches shorter. The female ( nicknamed Lucy by me) is perhaps 5ft tall and just a bit shyer then her man.

They are an interesting addition and though I dont seem to intimidate them, the choods do and if they get out of the porch they have no qualms about chasing these 767's of the bird world and the cranes will launch into flight scolding the choodles with that very odd honking/croaking noise.

About the only thing I have completed in my life is being a mother, and trust me there have been times I wish I could have chucked that out the window as well, the saying "I believe in retroactive abortion" became my mantra throughout some of the kids growing up. But be-that-as-it-may, I am a mother and still am a mother, though with the last of the chicks having flown the nest (albeit a forced flight) I don't feel like I am completely immersed in the day to day, hour to hour, minute to excruitiating minute of being a full fledged parent, but just about the time I get complacent in my current parental status, something happens that calls me back to my full-fledged status. God I do ramble on, this is not at all what I...

Diabetic Induced Anger and Frustration

GOD DAMNIT I AM MAD!!

So Diabetes, Remind Me Never to Do That Again

This was a big "Ooopsy" And at the time I was doing it, I knew that. Somewhere in my primal reptilian, limbic brain I just knew it was wrong and would result in nothing good coming out of it. In my limited and somewhat flimsy defense, I have to say I was trying to reward myself for a job well done through the whole rest of the day.
