Tabby Bobcat Wednesday

On the Back Porch

Zzzzz . . . .

Tabby climbs in slo-mo.

On the lookout for hummingbirds.

Hanging out with Maggie. Sort of.

Back Inside

Zzzzz . . . .

And again:

Zzzzzz . . . .

A Few Pix

Down to the river. A bit dusty.

Across the river; Overall Beach.

Blue skies.  :-)

M&M Monday

In the Office

Millie is so cute, nuzzling under the bed.

Hullo.

Zzzzzzz . . . .

Out in the Living Room

I'm in the midst of packing & Millie rests her head on a stack of boxes.

Back in the Office

Heads together.

Then Maggie woke up.

Vizzie from Neighbor Dave, Maggie says Hello.

And then goes under the porch.  Note the eye dots.  :-)

Outside the Office

I head out to the LR, so Millie comes out & then PARKS herself across the hall so that Maggie can't get by.

Silly girl.  Hullo.

Moon & Sun Rises

Last night I was packing boxes and Millie was sitting in her spot, looking out the window. She barked. I thought she was barking at deer in the field. Nope.

Almost-full moon. Totally bark-worthy.

This morning's spectacular sunrise:

That round dot over the mountain is not the moon. It's an energy orb if you're newage-ish. Or dust on the lens.

Have an AWESOME day!

The Electric Company: This Is How We Roll

It was around 8-ish this a.m. when I heard a loud helicopter going by the house. LOUD. LOUD. LOUD!!!

 I thought that perhaps the first lady was coming to town for another vizzie, but no. The helicopter wasn't going by my house. It was hovering by my house. And attached to it was a long cable with a row of several circular saws.

Morning tea interruption.

 I went on the back porch and there were a bunch of workers standing by trucks. I mouthed, "What's going on?" and they just waved. I watched as the giant saw started hacking away parts of the tree. I thought, "They're awfully close to the power lines. I hope they know what they're doing."  Haha That was the whole point.

Can you imagine the precision required to do this?!

A haiku: Blue sky morning. Blades of tree death. Glistening.

Flying off to the next area.

Afterward, the helicopter moved along the line, and the workers got to work moving the branches into a pile. One of the guys came up to chat. He said I should have gotten a post card notification. Nope. I had no idea this is how they cut trees down!  It was like I was a cowgirl getting steampunked. Heh.

The crew starts clean up.

Millie & Maggie watch.

Buh-bye.

Afterwards, I called Neighbor Dave, of course. He said the postcard notification prolly went to the owners of my house. Oh. He asked me if I'd lost electricity. No, still on. Then call annoying beeped thru with a call from Mum, so he lost the Phone Face-off. And then the electricity went out. I called Neighbor Dave back after the Mum Chat. He said that the electricity would likely come back on soon--but then it would go off again as they continue along the lines. And he was right. Sometimes it goes off for a few minutes or longer. Sometimes, it's a few seconds. Luckily I have a landline I can use that doesn't require electricity. Unluckily, every time the power goes out, it makes this LOUD cracking sound on the line!  Puts a damper on phone calls for the day.

Dear Deer

Young buck with Mama Deer.

The family grazing.

Mama with the twins. SO SWEET.

Turkeys

Yesterday, Millie was on the back porch and she started barking her "I see some sort of animal out there" bark. I look at her line of sight and she's watching a turkey waaaaaay down in the field.

View off the front porch.

Turkey out standing in its field.

And then it joined a few friends & their chicks:

Hullo.
