More to my bird quest.....what are they doing??
Okay......I have to admit I have no earthly idea what the birds are doing in the evenings around here!
Tonight.....they were up there flying like usual.....except for two things. 1. There was a double layer....the lower ones flying that way, and much higher, a layer was flying this way. 2. There were thousands and thousands of them tonight!!
I have seen long, and I mean really long lines of birds when farmers are putting in seeds or harvesting a field. I have seen long lines when they are migrating into or out of the area depending on the time of the year. I have not seen them doing this.
I am not giving up yet on my quest to get the answer. I am totally intrigued by this action of theirs.

What a
day so far! I started at 4 this morning....as a friend in Australia
(Terri) says.....crazy o'clock. Ha. I needed to be in Beaumont before
8:00.
On the way to Beaumont, I saw this tiny little hole in the wall store/building. They advertised....."We carry Rabbit, Coon, Garfish". Awesome....soul food for sure. But, right up the road.....maybe a mile or so, was a Texas speed bump....aka squashed armadillo. My warped sense of humor was wondering if they knew there was some great eats waiting to be picked up??? (don't yell at me, I know it was a tacky thought, but it made me laugh)
I looked at downtown Houston, from a distance. Realized how much I like being a Texan. Drove by Reliant Park and shot it a dirty look. It might be the home of the Astros, now.....but it will never never never take the place of my beloved Astrodome.
Got to observe a weird driver. Remember it was dark and early. Someone in a truck, pulling a trailer with a boat come up on the freeway. They did not turn off their left blinker when they went around a truck into the middle lane. I watched them swerve over to the left lane and back many times. My thoughts were they are either drunk or very sleepy.......then you probably know what happened......they swerved far enough to hit the divider in the middle of the freeway! Gasp! Since I had been anticipating something to happen I was ready to pull over to the right if needed......The trailer hit and sparks flew.....then they were back in the middle lane like nothing happened at all. Odd. Normally I will pull past someone who is driving erratic. This time it seemed far safer to watch them than to be accidentally clipped as I attempted to pass. After another mile or so......they decided to pull off the road.....thank goodness. Thank God they didn't get into a wreck. Know what I mean??
Another one of my never boring days.

(07-28) An apple a day.....
Score one for this sneaky pug dog mom!
Tonight was sneak apple into her dog food mixture. Fresh apple. Other pug parents say they love them. Soooooooooo I took one nice slice and diced it small....added the yogurt then mixed.
I sat it down with flair and proclaimed.....there you go Lori Lou! All yours.
Held my breath and acted like I wasn't spying any attention to her. For the first few minutes I thought she figured it out....and was going to eat around the apple pieces. I was devising a plan where I could make my own apple sauce if needed......when viola! She cleaned the bowl.....and even picked up a piece of apple that had fallen out.
Oh I am so happy! Now she will be full and most likely be snoring in 5 minutes. Ha.
