Woodpecker and Personal Update

Oscar the Owl keeps vigil

Here Oscar the Owl keeps vigil at sunset, always watching for the woodpecker. Unfortunately I heard him again this morning. I ran outside but didn't see him on my roof. I clanked some pots together and he flew onto a telephone poll. Who knows where he was making all that racket, I just hope it wasn't on our house.

I am scared to leave my house, damn it! Oscar can only do so much.

Bus Stop

The word "End" is scratched into the bus stop with an arrow pointing towards my neighbourhood. I discovered this after waiting eons in the cold bus shelter on the way to the dentist to get my tooth fixed. Looks like others feel like I do.

Last night I did start to feel better though. Like a cloud lifting. We had a stunning weekend, I thought the woodpecker was gone. But the rain has come back and will be here for days and days.

Seven months of winter attacked my body, pecked at my spirit and my heart. I thought spring was going to be more gentle.

We're having nothing but rain this Spring, too. I do like the rain, but even I want a break from it. I need my motivation back! Hope the rain lets up for you.

So long as he's not pecking on your house, that's the main thing. Hopefully he'll move on soon.

Motivation is always a good thing! Debra, he could have been on the other side of the roof, not sure. That's why I panicked. It really sounded like our house again but I'm all twitchy right now, LOL.
