I'm still here

I haven't disappeared....I'm still here and still plugging away at that thing called life. Excuses? How many do you want? I won't bore you with details but I find it harder and harder to find the time to get on my blog....why is that? Is it because I'm learning (finally - you old goat) to use other tools such as Twitter and Facebook? Is it because I'm just too damned tired when I get home to want to write? Is it because I feel I stretch myself too thin? Who knows.

I will make an effort to keep this blog current (whatever that means) and somewhat entertaining. After all, the fish are thriving and in the process of reproducing (anyone want baby fish later?), the weather is getting nicer (meaning mosquitos aren't out in force yet) and my niece is getting married in two days. So, what's to complain about?

I have to share something with you. I came home today and my husband told me that after he got home earlier, a group of neighbors had gathered in our driveway and were staring at our roof. Ok, now I'm curious....lo and behold, there's a peacock on the roof! Yes, a real peacock with feathers and all! How beautiful this bird was! By the time I got home, it had moved from our roof to the neighbor's and just parked himself and looked (somewhat) comfortable. He moved from their roof over their garage to their backyard. He poked around a while then decided to move back to the roof. After a while, he moved along their roof line to their chimney and decided to jump into the trees to roost for the night. I'll be interested to see if he's around in the morning...of course, we'll probably hear him anyway. I hope he finds his way home...he looked a tad lost and the area Robins and Cardinals were giving him a fit! More to come...stay tuned.

Thanks for listening. Or at least putting up with my too few posts lately.
