Reverie on a Saturday Night

I am writing this post late Saturday evening.  The wind is blowing at 1000 mph but it is a warm wind and if I close my eyes I can pretend I am near water.  As my husband pointed out we are near water - he's right, but it is only a pond. The bull frogs are chirping and the cicadas are playing their tune.  So peaceful. It really is beautiful here, very pastoral, lots of green pastures, grazing horses, hawks, coyotes, bluebirds and within five minutes there is every store you could ever imagine.  It's an oasis.  Anyway, the evening reminds me of a tropical night.

Speaking of pond, there are about twelve Canadian Geese that have rented a space in the bottom pasture close to the pond. One of them had babies, four but now there are only three.  They are about two weeks old now and are getting so big.  Just love watching them.  They seem to know we are not about to hurt them are getting braver and closer to us every day.   Now Mr. and Mrs. Duck are joining them regularly.

Today, was a burn day and hubby and my brother managed to get rid of a pile that has been building for years. Mama Goose just herded the children out of harm's way and kept them away until the pile was reduced to burning embers. Such a good caregiver and protector.

Here's a little funny :

Sam walks into his boss's office. "Sir, I'll be straight with you, I know the economy isn't great, but I have over three companies very interested in me - they're constantly calling, and I would like to respectfully ask for a raise." After a few minutes of haggling the boss finally agrees to a 5% raise, and Sam happily gets up to leave.
"By the way," asks the boss as Sam is getting up, "which three companies keep calling you?" "If you must know," says Sam, "It's the electric company, water company, and phone company."

Anyway, enough of this.  Hope you have a great day and be sure to stop by tomorrow for a story.  It's a continuing chapter in the life of Ken and Melody.









See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
