Visited by a Hawk

1 Reply

So today at work as I was just putting some cardboard in the baler, I turned around to see a hawk fly onto a pallet jack! I got a picture of it, but we sort of stared at each other for a minute before he started to fly up into the ceiling. Here is my rendition of him.

Hawk Buddy

Of course, since I have been obsessed with drawing birds this month, to be visited unexpectedly (even if it was unintentional Birdo) by one has got me so thrilled!! I am sure there is some good omen to it right? I’m not sure, but obviously he was looking for mice (or kittens) outside the dumpster and wandered in the vents in the ceiling.

But it still is cool. I hope the Hawk Buddy got out safely. Unless I come in tonight and he’s terrorizing the night crew. Aaaahhhh!!! Or even better Sounds of Hawk Shrieks everywhere!!

He even made a small shriek sound in the rafters.

Here is actual Hawk Buddy

Tuba Cat

Curious cats, and free standing tubas. Why not. Perhaps it’s time we admired both. Well, we know cats get admired a lot. But do tubas do? If you place them simultaneously together perhaps people will notice. Place a cat inside a tuba and it’s AAAwww!

Tell me a story about a tuba and a cat and I will listen? Tell me about a tuba playing cat and I will dance!

There you have it. The juxtaposition we’ve all been needing today and from now on. Sundays are meant for blowing your own horn and cats can too!

Foxy Tea Time

Tea in a Fox Cup…foxy tea time

Supper’s Ready Genesis

Supper’s Ready live 1972

From the Foxtrot Album.

For some reason it’s Foxy Friday and Supper’s Ready is stuck in my head, that part where he sings ” something tells me I better activate my prayer capsule!”

And do I have time this morning to listen to a 23 minute song? On foxy Friday I do. And I’m not even saying that it’s look foxy today, it’s be a fox, if you will. Sly and sneaky, like sneak a 23 minute song in your morning routine is what I mean. Or quietly whisper something strange and meaningless to someone then run away! Yeah! That kind of foxy. Playful and with no worries, for once!!!

I’ll probably delete this later. Happy foxy Friday everyone. Rock out or throw a rock, or something.

Winter Weirdo

Remember to feed your winter Weirdo Birdos. They are especially vulnerable this time of year, and likely if you have a shelter for them even the better. So they can nibble and wiggle and jingle to their heart’s content. I imagine a little hollow area in the trunk of a tree with a bird sitting at his table, coffee and seeds and singing his early morning songs. Letting everyone know he’s A OK!

I don’t know what I’m doing

Ugh Slug

Ugh, I don’t know what I’m doing, but I keep slugging along. Still a slug. I wish I were invincible but being a slug is close to being invincible, unless someone sees you slithering on a sidewalk and pours salt all over you to watch you die. I think that would be okay.

Shameful slug. So worried about the thoughts, judgements of others and what others perceive you… it’s okay! they don’t know progress and growth, they’re a bunch of ass hats anyway. They don’t even see the amount you are progressing and growing. All they know is they don’t know! You’re small and quiet so how could they?

It may be slow moving for you, but you’re getting there. Don’t fret ugh slug. You have a tender heart, that sees all the good in people. But they’re not. Watch out next time. Stick to yourself, you’re the only one who can push you, slither you into the right direction.

And if you have to start again tomorrow, start again. Leave behind the voices, leave the past behind you. You can do it ugh slug.
