I never told you about our pre-hurricane walk. The wind was wild. The skies were dark. The leaves were whipping. And we could SMELL sooooo many smells! On the path down to the bog we were going crazy. The smells were fresh and strong. Our noses were pressed so hard to the soil that we missed the whole flock of turkeys making the scent we had been following. They were stealthily watching us by the treeline as we entered the openness of the bog. The concierge saw them immediately and gestured to her co-walkers and used that spelling technique that irritates me to no end. But, at the time, I didn't pay attention. She told me about what we missed afterwards. She not only saw the large birds move quietly into the trees, she said she also saw an albino turkey among them. That is something! I will have to check with the other concierges to see if they saw it too. Now, if we see an albino we will be pretty sure which flock it is from....
So, other than that, the walk was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way the concierge likes it.
When we returned the concierge noted that power had already been lost while we were out and it hadn't even started raining much.
So, there you have it.
Now, to address a snarky remark from a reader of last night's blog. The reader posed the question, "what does a floating polar bear have to do with Halloween?". I reply, "if I have to explain it, then never mind." Let's just remember that I am not being paid to do this. Let's remember that I retain the right to make any combination of words and pictures that suit my whimsy, fancy and sense of personal taste. Period. I shall say no more on the subject. Finis. Done. Over and out.
TTFN G-Fans.
My beauty sleep awaits.
May your snores be ones of deep bliss and happy chases.
