Ooooo! 06.55? Who's the Lazy Bones, then???

Many many years ago, my mentor in Siamese Breeding had CFA's Best Siamese, who was in considerable demand as a stud.  One nice lady, who was interested in starting a new line of Himalayan cats, asked to breed her Persian girl to him.  That was OK, but Frodo stood back and clearly said, "Mom, I can't do this".  The solution was to clip the girl down, whereupon he finally consented to do the deed...

Good one, Carol!

The interviewer sounded like he'd had a few.

Too bad they did not catch him. He would have aged nicely by Thanksgiving...

Mac, sorry this reply is a couple days late, but the hubby and I saw a brown falcon atop a center median lamp post near the Blossom road exit of 590 N Wednesday afternoon the 28th to my Dad's in Irondequoit at about 1:30 and  and again at 4:00 on the way back.  Again on Friday we saw another falcon, also brown on 390 N on a light post at the Lexington Ave exit.  Maybe you can  will be able to catch photos in those areas.  They  both were good size and were pleasantly surprise to see them.  Christiane

Ok thanks Christianne-we'll be sure to check around those areas. It's great having so many eyes to the skies! 

MAK - just to say (stop me if I've told you...) - I too have seen falcons in the Blossom area - last one was when visiting in Spring 2013, and it was heading southwards around Winton/Browncroft. Not as recent as this one, but obviously they quarter the area. G'luck!

Corvid?

A Campbell River man will pay a $10,000 fine for cutting down an eagle tree.  Should have been the full 100,000!!

'Twould have been great to see the full fine imposed - yet 10k has to hurt - and it might just send a message to other would-be messers. Here, fines are more like pocket money, and nobody worries about them.

That wonderful, wonderful man - Seamus Heaney - has gone. I am in tears. Working with him will remain a joy of my life.

Thanks for keeping the story going, Donna. A wonderful saga.

Mother Nature! What is she like! What a privilege to witness such a scene. The vortex was a stunner. Thanks, Patti and Jeane!

 

What a delight!

And though I am a mere piker at this and I'm not fit to even carry Donna's sandal straps, this is my 500th post!   

Yaaaaaaay!
