Summer Ramblings. #7

Hi everyone! It is a very dull, rainy day here. It isn’t a heavy rain, just a steady, light rain. Which kind of interferes with my walk. I don’t like walking in the rain. Even with an umbrella to keep me dry I still don’t find it fun walking in the rain. Now, years ago I enjoyed it. I would go walking through the forest no matter what the weather and I would often go out walking in the rain. And get wet. Soaked at times.

I actually enjoyed it back then. But I used to do a lot of crazy things at one time. Yes, I know, I still do crazy things sometimes. But not as much as I used to do. Honest. I’m back again, though you probably didn’t realize I was even gone. Muffin woke up and wanted her lunch a bit earlier today. So, I decided to eat as well. It is raining harder now.

Turkey Vulture flying around in the rain.

A Turkey Vulture was flying around for a while, getting wet in the rain, hoping to find some squirrel or chipmunk that had been run over by a vehicle so he could swoop in and pick up his lunch too. Sort of like having his own drive through fast food restaurant. Except in this case the food wasn’t fast enough. Just the way the vulture likes it.

I have not seen any squirrels or chipmunks around here, though there might be some down one of these other streets around here. It’s a little different living right in town like this. There is a lot less wildlife. Though there is a lot of deer at times. Then they kind of disappear for a couple of weeks, then they show up again. Hmm, they are finally putting the ceiling back together again in the hallways.

Nice dark pink Peony brightens up a rainy day.

They had to take it all apart when they fixed the water pipes back in February. Now they are putting in a new ceiling. They actually started putting in the new ceiling in March. Then they disappeared until this week. Well, at least they came back. Guess they had a busy summer somewhere else. Well, I started writing this morning and I’m still not finished. I keep getting interrupted.

And a light pink Peony too.

Maybe that’s why those guys took so long getting back. Interruptions. They were good interruptions though. Still raining out there. Not much bird activity today. There are crows flying around and of course the Ring-Billed Gulls are always flying around out there. They are constantly looking for food. Well, back to dusting for me. Have a great day and God bless!

Steve and Muffin.
