I didn't have any time to sort my photos from the garden today. Instead, I chose two to share, one of a feather I found on the stony path in front of the visitor center at the garden. It was about one-and-a-half inches long and didn't exactly stand out. I was surprised I noticed. Maybe because I was staring down at my feet as I walked, and saw it flutter perhaps.
I like how the photo turned out. One of those artsy ones I do by accident. Does anyone know what kind of bird this comes from? I checked on here and it suggested a Great Horned Owl. I don't think so! One of the smaller birds I thought. But who am I? No expert, that's for sure.
Today we were running a few errands. I got my hair cut first thing. I always feel much better for a tidy up. I have been going to this lady at the Hair Cuttery for years, and she always does a great job.
We went for our once-a-week fast food lunch; the day changes sometimes. Our choice this week was Chick Fil-A. Gregg gets chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese. I like their grilled chicken sandwich and waffle fries. We usually go through the drive-thru and it was jam packed, but there were four young people going up and down the two lanes of cars, taking everyone's order. We were told to follow 'that grey Honda Civic please', also in line. By the time we get to the window, the food is ready for pick-up. From a hefty, long line, we had our meal within minutes. A smooth transition, almost feels like we are on a conveyer belt. These young people are friendly and polite. You can tell it's part of their training and it all adds to a very smooth and pleasant experience. We found our spot and had our car picnic.
So here we are, time to go upstairs for the night. Another fast day!
I will leave you with this:
"The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off - and they are nearly always doing it."
from "The Secret Garden"
published in 1910 and again in 1911.
Have a great day everyone,
and thanks for visiting.
