White Blackbird

whiteblackbird3.jpg I saw this white, blackbird and I found out that they are really rare. So, I think its an omen. Anyway, I was in front of Longs Drugs in Scotts Valley. I was just getting out of the store and there was a flock of blackbirds in the parking lot. You know, they like to hang out and jump into their reflections in hubcaps. Anyway, I hadn’t had a chance to take anything, even though I was just getting out of the drugstore and I saw this white blackbird, he was just like the rest…except white, I took a picture with my cellphone, but it didn’t look as good as this one.

Blondie is Fine, sorry so long away…

I am writing in an internet cafe from Oaxaca, Mexico. Today, I want to visit the Tule Tree, a tree in the same family as the Redwood and its huge. When I get back I will try to put up the weather station again, we already had about two inches of rain, mushrooms should be sprouting all over when I get back.

Good news, Blondie can see again…

The doctor called and said the surgery went well. Can’t wait to pick her up.

Blondie is getting surgery to replace her lenses.

I don’t know the results yet, but I dropped her off for surgery. I walked her on the beach this morning before dropping her off. Sad, she wanted to run, but I knew I had to keep her on the leash or she would run into rocks or get lost in the surf.

Blondie has gone blind

Our dog blondie has diabetes and now has gone blind from cataracts. So, I guess it has got me down, she used to like to chase squirrels. She especially liked to chase fish, like in a fish pond. She would bark at them and chase them around, and we found out she could catch them too. So, we had to keep her away from fish ponds.
