CrabAppleLane Sunday (January 15, 2006)
Some things I’ve been pondering this CrabAppleLane Sunday morning:
1) Cliques don’t work for me. I invariably zig when I should zag and the whole world comes to an end. I can’t handle the responsibility.
2) I prefer my eggs grated in my egg salad as opposed to chopped.
3) I love so many different kinds of music and movies that I don’t think anyone can say with any confidence or accuracy that I would like or dislike something.
4) The many, many cardinals at CrabAppleLane are all spectacular and I’ll someday capture that on pixel dust. There wasn’t enough light to do it this morning although I kinda like the one I got. Cardinals will always be my favorite birds.
5) Wondering what I might do if I drove the 25 miles or so to Pearl River for a Hubig’s Pineapple Pie and the person in front of me grabbed the last one.
6) Although their season is over, we have surely not heard the last of the New England Patriots.
7) I always considered it a mild insult whenever someone called me a turkey. Having watched CrabAppleLane’s two idiotic turkeys for the last four months, I don’t consider it a mild insult now. It’s way up there in the four letter category.
8) I am a turkey when it comes to .htaccess files at CrabAppleLane.
9) I love when the only message someone leaves on my machine is to call them and when I call them they ask me what it was about. Turkeys.
10) I may have to take a day off and try a Messier Marathon sometime in March. It's been a while since the last time.
Today’s picture from CrabAppleLane below.

This guy posed for me all morning. He showed great patience with my ineptitude.

It was like having someone take your Jim Brown throwback jersey and giving you a Jeff Garcia giveaway T-shirt in return.

Oh. My. That is a lovely picture.
I'm so glad your subject was so patient! ;o)
Cardinals hate me. Everytime I try to snap a picture of them, even with zoom, they fly away. That's a gorgeous shot as always :)
Thanks, ladies.
Our most favoritest bird here at casa de Major Dad. No cardinals since Katrina blew through, tho. I think it was the last straw for them around here. Breaks our heart.
