Wow, can I relate.
In my case, I like to sit on the porch and overlook from these bluffs, and basically allow my eyes to unfocus, and let the mind wander.
Today's morning musings?
* I put a half a pound of red pepper in my bird feeders today to repel squirrels. Still some partook. Then thought for minutes, hopefully I might add, whether it will get give them the shits.
* Figured out that damned crows are so smart that almost follow a flight pattern as predictable and consistent as commerical airlines. watch sometimes. And wondered how I could alter these demons path away from the orchard.
* Turkey's must be one of the dumbest creatures on earth. A hen landed about 70-80 feet away from me, sat there 5 minutes still and stared.
* Where's all these Cicadas everyone is talking about? I haven't seen or heard a one.
* I must not give my wife enough attention. Otherwise she wouldn't be talking to her plants, flowers, and veggies when she waters them.
* Hummingbirds are an engineering marvel of nature. Fly 30 mph, then stop on a dime, and fly backward. Then there is this one alpha bird that drives away the others, WTH? There is 6 flower spouts, and 10 oz of nectar, and you gotta be territorial
Nothing beats retirement.
