Check Out my Wings

Gorgeous little wings! I love it when they stretch like that.

I am so glad to hear that.

Thank you. I feel so very much loved that I'm gushing with happiness

I will probably feel very silly admitting this in the morning and very likely to delete this post , blush

Oh bless the sweety that jumped after that stretch

How many lavenders did you promise your child? Are they likely to be swayed by looking at fetching pictures of blue Marans? There may be room for negotiation.

I don't know why everyone is laughing at this post. Did I say something I shouldn't?
I was being serious. Sometimes I wake up and just really feel grateful for everything good in my life. Sorry, maybe too maudlin to share. It was something about the beauty of the sun on the snow that set me off.
Also, it is an inherited weakness. My Dad when he was in his 90s used to weep sometimes out of the blue, and when asked why, he would say "because everything is so lovely", or "I read some beautiful poetry".
Mind you, he also wept whenever he watched the news on TV and saw cruelty and war and so on.
I guess he just cried easily.
I will show myself out and come back when I am feeling more normal.

For me, the city friends' comments overthe lack of amenities . hear them all the time. my response is similar: have car, have gas.

I think polish chicks look a little different in the beak than most chicks. Their nostrils are more defined. Does Phyllis's beak look different?

Yes Phyllis beak is different from everyone else's. Let me see if I have a close up.

No. Elevation according to Google Earth is 250’.
Maybe forecast is wrong.
Very odd.
Chicken tax.

250 feet?! Oh, yeah...Montana...lowest communities 1900+. I live at around 4400 and work at 5500 (yes we have a mile high city (and higher) too. Also cross divide to get to work at around 6600 feet. Maybe this explains a few things

I’m going to jump on this band-wagon (and I’ll pay chicken tax, promise!)

What is with the American pronunciation of ‘aluminium’?!



For some reason you drop an ‘i’ and pronounce it al-oom-in-um, whereas we pronounce it al-umm-in-yum. I think that ‘i’ then finds it’s way into the word ‘mischievous’ and becomes mis-cheev-ee-us.



*Puts grammar soapbox away*

Ahem. Tax.

What about "schedule" and "migraine"? Not to mention the parts of a car....
