Today is Sunday, September 23rd, 2012. It is absolutely beautiful outside today, so I sat out on my screened in porch for a couple of hours, reading a book, sucking on some iced tea, and just watching and listening to the birds and squirrels yell at each other.
I had crows and/or ravens flying around over the wooded area squawking like crazy and diving down to the ground. I couldn't see what they were after, but I'll bet it was a fresh kill of some kind. Then a little while later there was the screeing of a couple of hawks out over the same area of woods. Once again they were diving down to the ground. Since I had no easy way of going over into the woods, I just watched and listened while all this was going on.
Meanwhile, in my back yard were at least a dozen bright yellow butterflies flying around the yard. They kept coming back to a plant under the patio which has tiny bright red flowers on it. It was these flowers the butterflies kept returning to and sipping the nectar.
The temperature outside was simply perfect, about 75 degrees, and a breeze would kick up and rustle the leaves in the trees. All in all it was a very bucolic and relaxing venue.
Yes! I did read some of the book, and I even took pictures, which I posted on my Facebook Page. Which can be accessed here, https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4040490764281.2156383.1042142117&type=1
