Wacky Bird Wednesday – August 11, 2021

…putting the wacky back in Wacky Bird Wednesday

Last week was a bad week for the internet and my computer here at home. I thought I was going to have to take my computer in for service because it took forever to upload photos to my posts. As a result a lot of my regular posts didn’t happen at all and I’ve been making up for it this week. For whatever reason everything seems to be working again.

This week I have two wacky birds to share.

Good Morning

….I went out early this morning for my walk before it got too hot

I’m glad that I got my walk in early because I don’t do well in the heat. I drove to the Farmers’ Market this afternoon and even that short trip exhausted me.

It was also suppose to rain but it’s now 6:30 and we still don’t have rain. I would love a good thunderstorm about now.

Monster Monday – Catching Up

….after being at the cottage and experiencing computer issues I’ve missed posting some of Kevin’s art

This Week’s Monster:

While Miss Winnie was away at the ‘haunted cottage with no WiFi’ with her Oma, Mom and Aunties this little fellow promised to keep an eye on things.

TGIFFF – Tonguely Finds a Pair of Kevin’s Old Racing Shorts

59-A05513-EE74-4-E9-E-A93-A-4-F8230-D9-EE73

When Kevin started drawing last week’s Tonguely he had no idea where he was going with these flowered shorts and then he remembered that he owned a pair of racing shorts very similar to these.

Hopeless

…..it’s not what you think

Up at the cottage when the residents say we’re ‘Hopeless’ they are not referring to the state of affairs in the world, their own state of mind or any situation for that matter. Hopeless at Big Sand Bay means that we are fogged in and can’t see Hope Island which sits just north of us.

When the fog breaks up and the sun reappears Hope Island returns to us. In life hope is always there. Sometimes hope is all we have and even in our darkest days we sometimes have to push through the darkness to find it but when we do we can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
