………………….This morning I met my friend Lou for breakfast at 7:00am. I had a goat cheese omelet with bacon and Rye toast. Lou had scrambled eggs and bacon, also with Rye toast….I had errands to do, so I headed right out. First stop the post office. I have been told to NEVER put my mail in a post office box on the street, or even in front of a post office! Thieves can fish them out, and with a certain liquid pen change the names on checks and cash them! So now I go into the post office and leave my mail…..Next stop the grocery store…..We are suppose to have consecutive days of high temperatures in the 80s and 90s….I really don’t want to cook, even with the air conditioner on, so I’m making a huge cold summer salad that will last a few days…..Lettuce, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, white and red beans, Italian tuna, artichoke hearts, red beets, some tortellini salad that I bought, new potatoes, chunks of feta cheese, and whatever else I have in my new refrigerator. You can come up with your own favorite choices……..Now to the point of the post!…..After putting everything away, and boiling my eggs, I headed up to my 2nd floor office. I put on the air conditioner, and was about to close the windows….when……….I saw these two birds perched on my car! I had never seen these birds before? I think that perhaps they were babies, and their feathers haven’t changed yet?…..Baby egrets???….To ALL of you bird watchers….if you know what they are let me know…..They were very funny just standing there, and one turned to face me as if it new I was taking its’ picture…..photo upper middle.
