A Good Day for Flying Around

Our Orville the osprey has been flying around like crazy after disappearing for over a week. Almost like me! Today I will disappear for several hours. I’m having a massage at a lovely spa I found, a pedicure, and a powder dip French manicure. Afterward, I intend to do some retail therapy at a shop I discovered a few months ago. I’m hoping to find more new goodies there and help our economy. I’ll be flying around between two places, but both of them almost side by side and just a short drive over a bridge. Perhaps I’ll see Orville again today when I return home. Love that bird!

He looks happy and no doubt you will be happy after your pampering and bolstering the US economy!

It was a super duper day. I'm leaving with my husband in about 2 hours for lunch and more shopping in Palm Beach.

@rebelann I used my new iPad. Orville was fishing after peeking in my window. I missed that shot, of course.

Thanks! Orville builds a nest for life. His mate chose him due to the fact that he had the largest and most beautiful nest of all the other male ospreys. His wife, Mrs. Orville, may be busy with her babies. Orville brings her fish and lets her and the babies eat the meaty parts and he eats what's left. Sometimes I catch him munching on fish on a pier or in a banyon tree or eating little fish at low tide.

Orville seems free as a bird against that blue backdrop. His life is so simple and uncluttered.

@much2say I am really trying to keep up with them. It's so difficult when we have other lives to lead. Yes, that's Orville. He just flew by and peeked in my window. Hubs spotted him first.

It's funny how we get attached to a wild creature. I now have my daughter talking about George, one of my wild turkeys. There are hundreds, but three come up to me now when I'm giving supplements to one of our aging horses. They aren't afraid anymore.

@DianneN Sounds nice. So what kinds of clothes do you shop for? I want to get a jumper and before where I go they used to have small sizes but since now they brought bigger sizes of jumpers to the store and now I wear smaller sizes so have to wait.

I am glad to know that Orville is back and healthy. I was searching for Bubi yesterday evening. I was checking the garden of my neighbors calling him, when I heard a "meow" behind me and I saw a puzzled look like "What do you want woman?" He was too funny.

@LadyDuck Doodles saw his first Vole two days ago. My son told me that he touched it with his paw and the vole ran into a hole under a rock. Now Doodles sits on the rock waiting for him.

It was a wonderful day, and I almost bought the same pair of pants that I had bought before. Good thing the owner of the store remembered I bought them. I wound up gabbing with a neighbor and a friend in the lobby afterwards, so arrived home late, just in time for a FaceTime conversation with our younger son. We cooked dinner, then I collapsed on the couch until bedtime. MyLot was out of the picture, yet again. Somewhat of a repeat today.
