red velvet morning

my excuse for being late today

"the light is only perfect for a short time"

to quote Robin Holcomb

cliche' yes, but we call it home

we drove our El Camino in the Providence Forge Christmas Parade

Waiting to launch.  A bit like heavy traffic on I-95: an hour of idling & getting nowhere.

 Bodyshop truck towing a boat.

 Many tractors, of various vintages.

 Driver's eye view of parade coming & going, making the loop through downtown PF.

 Of course, the New Kent Tea Party, complete with tricorners, fife, drum & Constitution.

 Our fans.

 Two, count 'em, two grown-up Jesus with cave, rock, & cross floats.

 The other El Camino, a '68.  There was also a Ranchero.

 The district's new supervisor, TP candidate, demonstrating his professional acumen.

 Bill's Hot Dog's, closed.  But they did have a truck in the parade.

 Parade viewers.

Ho ho ho.
We were a little carsick after two hours & two miles but happy to be waved at by our neighbors in camo & fur.

neither bird nor plane, it's my bees looking like a butt roast in the butterfly bush

Note to Self:  Put bucket under bees before cutting & accidently shaking branch with swarm.

In straw, mulch; among logs.  Nice color.

but when are they getting real ideas?

baby red shoulder hawks in Edna's yard

So while we're watching the baby hawks, the baby hawks are watching us, & their mother is probably watching my chicks.

Can one use the words "cute" & "hawk" in the same sentence?

There are two babies, one nest & what a nice bird butt.
