It’s a Jungle Out There

  
Saint Helen (my mother-in-law) and I were enjoying our morning coffee out on our newly completed screened-in porch when this magnificent bird made an appearance. 

Saint Helen grabbed her iPhone and quickly snapped this photo as the bird flew away to handle some noisy business just around the bend in the lake. Our imaginations have run amok:

  • The bird is fending off an alligator
  • The bird is protecting a nest
  • The bird is attempting to establish its dominance over another male
  • The bird is trying to impress a female
  • The bird is auditioning for an episode of Swamp People.

Heck, we aren’t even sure what kind of bird this is. Maybe an egret? A heron? An ostrich? If any of my readers can identify it I’d be grateful.

Words Of Encouragement

Rush Hour in a Small Town

small towns lack some perks
like traffic jams, long commutes,
and endless traffic.

  
rush hour lasts minutes
and might be easily missed
while enjoying wine.

How Inappropriate!

  
mountain grown coffee
served with double entendre
good to the last drop

  
some like it so hot
smooth and rich, yet strongly brewed
i could go for that

  
you’re my cup of tea
often naughty, sometimes nice
always intriguing

Caffeine

Studly Doright drinks decaffinated coffee which drives me crazy. Caffeine is the very essence of coffee, the reason it caught on in the first place. Coffee without caffeine is just flavored water in varying shades of brown.

A cup of coffee 

With a bit of Irish Cream

Sipped in solitude

On this perfect spring morning.

What could be better?

Absolutely nothing, dear.

Unless, of course, friends

Stop by and share a pot with me.

That’s preferable.

Get On Up

The first Monday of Daylight Savings Time calls for an extra strong cup of coffee and a kick in the pants. If that still doesn’t work here’s a little help this morning.
