The warmest spot in the house

When it's cold...it's warm!!!

It's going to rain

This morning is damp and grey and getting colder.
But, yesterday's sunrise was nice. They will be even nicer after some weather makes everything wet. Water is the essence of life and makes the cycle repeat itself.
So let sunrise splashes everywhere like a wave on the beach...
it's time to get wet!

Shots In The Dark

I was out of patience when I went out this morning.
So, the camera saved me...grabbing my finger at just the right moments and pushing it down on the shutter button...
for these...

Any narration would only thin down the plot...

Watch Out For That Chemtrail

Could anything be more criminal than spraying aluminum and barium in nano-form across a perfectly blue sky?
The answer to that is yes! It is much more criminal to never look up into the skies and see what goes on over your own head. If you think natural cloud formations look like tic-tac-toe...then maybe you think it's raining enough...or, that it's warm enough...or, that roosters love tic-tac-toe...
Have no fear...Monsanto has already developed aluminum resistant seed stock...because aluminum is harmful to crops.
GMO is only the beginning.

 

 

A Rooster Named Gary

Most of my birds don't have names...but, this rooster was named Gary by my wife. He is the son of the legendary Jet. He looks a lot like his father but, his father was bigger. Maybe, he is still growing. I can never tell. Anyway, he is special because he has black wings where most of the birds have white...or, sometimes red.
They are all the same to me...I love them all.

The Weeks Fly By Valentines Day

I'm only around my birds. I never think in terms of days, weeks, months. Every moment is now. But, today is Valentines Day and that isn't enough to change the fact that another week has passed everyone by!
Have a nice weekend!!!

Beautiful Weather

Another perfect day has begun...
No need to hesitate...
Jump in
to the
color...

Who could resist?

Finally! Some beautiful babies.
The hens have been very unlucky the past few months. Many clutches of eggs were ruined by intruders, temperature, fights, forgetfulness and many other reasons. So, let's hope that this is the beginning of all the greatness to come. These three baby chicks are super fine. They are 1 day old in the pictures.

Blur, blink, 50 years

It was 50 years ago tonight that the U.S. welcomed The Beatles on their first Ed Sullivan Show appearance. The country took a hard turn that night and the direction came as close to Freedom as it ever has. The Beatles coming to this country is the biggest event in our country's history...ever. And, then ...blink, blink...
50 years has passed.
Thanks to The Beatles, it was a painless blur that couldn't be stopped. Their music is a time machine and the real fountain of youth.
The Beatles are roosters with guitars instead of feathers.
Blur, blur, blur

What's a weekend?

Well, the rooster repair continues. I doubt that there will be anything restful about my weekend. The good news is that all injured warriors will survive. Normally, we are not so fortunate.
Have a nice weekend...Remain hopeful!
Things are sometimes better than they seem!

Looking Ragged...Feeling Alive

As we know, Roosters look ragged after just one fight.
They never get the new look to come back...
That's called paying the price...
or, some would say an expensive lesson.
I don't know how the tattered look is supposed to compliment the Sunrise...but, I will stick with them and see if I can learn anything.

Not Allowed In The Superbowl

Roosters don't need SuperBowls.
They live out their entire adulthood
on a gridiron of fierceness.
They are true to their instincts.
The instincts say "You are a Champion...always".
Yesterday was just another day...for another Champion.
This guy got the worst of it. Amazingly, the fight was over when I found him standing with his hens...both eyes swollen shut.
Incredible is the spirit of a rooster.
He plays the SuperGame of Life...everyday!

Another Super Sunrise

Super Bowl is really not that super...
when the sunrise looks like it did today...
there is just no comparison.
"No flag on the play...
first down!"
