The Birds and the Leaves

I'm outside this evening sucking up the leafs with the riding lawn mower and this blue bird decided he is going to attack me. Well he didn't really attack me, but he wanted to make me aware that he was there. He kept taunting me and then parched on a limb and would wait for me to come around again so he could swoop down and strut his stuff. If this bird had been a turkey and doing this a few days earlier his name would have been called dinner.

I learned that when you are sucking up leafs after it has rained that you have to go SLOOOOWW. I came to this conclusion after zooming down a row of thick wet leafs. turned around and saw the partially chopped of leafs that my mower did not suck up. upon inspection I found thousands of wet leafs compacted in the tube. And yes I was smart enough to turn the mower off before sticking my hands inside to pull out the leafs.

Have you ever been to TGI Fridays? If you have not (or have) Let me recommend the lime cilantro salad dressing. It is low fat and it is awesome. It is a bit spicy so if you are not into spicy foods it is not for you. This is now my favorite place to eat salad because of the dressing alone. We looked up the recipe for that dressing online this evening and I can't wait to make it to see how it compares. I'll let you know if/when we finally make it.

Blessings till I post again.
