A hawk is hunting.
I can hear the skreee aloft.
Red-tailed bird of prey.

We had a hawk in our maple tree on Friday. I took tons of pics on my phone.
Angry's better than sad,
I feel more in control then,
A purpose, perhaps.
Not big mad, but maybe just enough to insist on answers!

Red, did it sound like this?

Hugs Red. Get those answers! Well be with you in your pocket so if you need courage just pull us out and we'll prop you up!
Red goes to see doc
Insists on information
Finds out what is wrong
__
Red then gets it fixed
And all anxiety leaves
And Red can relax!
Badger lovely Hawk haiku.
I love owls. It's hard to see them but sometimes I hear them. Especially at the farm.
Badger's a poet
Writing those lovely Haiku
That bring us right there!
Mirwenna. Welcome. I am glad the cats help. I have three at home now. Though one is screeching mad cause he wants out. And he SAYS so. " OOOUUUUT! REPEAT many many times. LOL
We all need comfort
Most times in the human form
Sometimes in warm cats!
My DH left today for work. Outage is coming up. 12 weeks or more of 12 hours days. Won't be seeing him on weekends for a while. He's not much fun. LOL. He just wants to sleep. And who could blame him. So I'll be lonely too. LOL. But I learned a long time ago when he's doing outages I used to just leave and spend time with his folks or mine rather than expect what he could not give. Intellectually I knew he had no reserves to interact with humans under those kind of hours. But emotionally it's hard to be ignored when you're right there. So I left and he could eat sleep and not feel guilty about not talking and spending time with family. Made it much easier. So the same thing now but he's older and it's harder. But it is what it is and we all get through it. I realized I never said. An outage is a refueling of the nuclear reactor. Every bit of maintenence that has to be done is during this time. It's an orchestrated symphony. Every instrument must be there in time and when required and everybody needs to do their part to keep it going. The engineers are running all over to keep It moving and correct problems as they occur and of course they always do. LOL. Sorry for the longest post! LOL
When Moon is alone
She talks to herself often
And she talks A LOT!
LOL

Monica, glad you explained what an outage was because I was thinking he was an electrical utility worker. Which I suppose he is. But I was wondering how you Knew there were outages coming. Makes much more sense now.
My husband will golf,
In Tennessee once a year,
Just him and his buds

Dog sleeps on my bed,
Cats curled up beside Cleo
No room for mama.

I'm good with all that,
Cuz for one week of each year,
It's me and furfriends.
-------------
Pull my legs up high
Go around them to get out,
When I have to pee.
Lol, the things we do for our furfriends. It's actually quite the acrobatic act to leave the bed when they are on it. I try so hard not to disturb them.
Welcome Morweena! That's a very old name. In fact, I seem to recall saying that same thing a few months ago on another thread. Was that you? If so, hi again. If not, welcome.
Badger, that beautiful bird didn't say a thing, but he did preen for us. It was remarkable.

Red has pretty birds!
And warm furry friends at night.
Red has warm heart AND warm feet!

Off to bed to sleep
Drag my body up the stairs
Grunt, groan, whine, moan, sigh.....

Early, early, Spring.
Mud reigns, Dirty snow lingers.
But green shoots pop up.
0 -
In whose world's it spring?
No green shoots anywhere Moon,
What drugs are you on?
In my world it went up to 8 today and I still have almost 5' of snow in my yard. I think this 'spring' is a figment of your imagination. Lol
0 -
LOL. Two days of over 40. Not to worry, but getting some snow tonite shouldn't be much here, But Chicago is in for 9 inches! LOL
But over a foot of snow on front side of house. On the south side hill most snow is melted since Friday.

Eagerly waiting
To see the last of Winter
And greet the new Spring

hi ladies! ♥ Another with spring fever here.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Warm sun melts the snow.
Water runs under dingy
cornices of ice.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Wet by day, frozen
by night, slippery sidewalks.
Walk like a penguin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snowbanks shrink each day.
I too look for the green shoots.
Eagerly, I wait.

Green is the color
Of grass and leaves and meadows

I have forgotten
What grass and flowers look like
Except for pictures

Sitting here freezing
Too lazy to go to bed

Up the creaky stairs
Hearing lots of funny noise

I KNOW it's around
here somewhere. Where IS that nut?
Four holes in a row.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I empathize with
forgetful squirrel searching.
We both CRS.

Badger is building?
Something with bolts and those nuts
Wonder what it is?
0 -
(LOL Monica, I'm not building anything. The squirrels are looking for nuts they buried last fall. There's a row of holes where they dug and not found it so moved further away and tried again. Reminded me of me, looking for something. Where the h*ll did I PUT that? I KNOW it's around here somewhere!)
Squirrels help the trees
propagate so they don't mind.
Yes please, plant my seeds.

For an hour on Sat.
Always seems to me
Like no time has passed at all
For me and my friend.
