Happy belated 4th. I've been very busy, yesterday I typed an entire entry for my blog and when I tried to add a picture the whole thing went kapooie, old dog no trick for that day.
Today I will try again, tenacity is my new virtue. I have been really out- doing myself ever since Evillibrarian talked me into this whole blog thing. 1st she put a spell over me and convinced me that as a wannabe princess I needed the MP thing. I don't know what it's going to do for me, but I want it . I told the royal husband what I was up to and he not only knew what I was talking about, he issued warnings to me. Thanks to Evillibrarian's tutelage I faked my way through that conversation with colors flying. Perhaps a little overconfident , I bragged to my children about the blogging and the MP thing . Again, to my surprise they all knew what I was talking about and all tried to win my favor for the MP thing. I'm now convinced I can't live totally without this MP thing, I plan to finish my 23 tasks and find out more information about the MP thing, or at least find out how big it is.
Do you think I can carry it with me? Can I hide it in my tiara so no one can steal it? Do you think Evillibrarian will cast a spell over me and use the MP thing's army to take over the rule of my kingdom?

Heron

This is a sight similar to what I saw yesterday morning while enjoying my morning coffee on the back patio.

The huge bird actually flew onto my neighbor's roof and stared at my small pond for a good 30 minutes.

I live very near to a park with a natural water feature that is host to many ducks, geese, herons, and other critters that you may not see a mile north of the center of the city.

The scary part of this sight for me, other than at first I thought it was a giant hawk coming to wreak vengeance of some horrible calliper upon my naturally frizzy red hair, was that last year I lost 9 fish from my pond that I nurtured and named and really enjoyed watching.

Now the real reason I stole this picture from Eekers- I want my husband to see it because he doesn't believe that a heron would stand on a roof.

By the by- we put a huge net over the pond this year and I haven't lost a fish yet.
