Do you see what my poor flamingo has had to endure? At first glance it may appear to be bleeding. Don’t be alarmed. No blood was shed.
Apparently, while I slept peacefully, a human walked outside to find a squirrel standing on my poor flamingo’s back to steal the blackberries.
I don’t know if you can see them in this picture, but there are tiny footprints leading away from the scene of the crime.
That red pawed bandit is lucky I love squirrels.
On a side note, I posted this from my phone. My computer expert downloaded the app for me and I was finally able to upload pictures with one step. I am also enjoying the feature where the words come up automatically.
If I keep this up, I might be my own computer expert.
Also, I picked all the ripe berries to save my flamingo’s poor aching back.
I love gardening and magical beings. My profile is a garden ready to be created,

Thank heavens you were able to pick those berries off the poor dear’s back!

I know it! Ours aren’t fruiting yet. I think it was August before they fruited last year…

I have many more than last year. It may be because I weeded the garden or because we get rain every day. Either way I am happy. I learned to put them on my tongue and squish them so no seeds get in my teeth.

LOL Oh I gobble them up! I’m lucky to get half of what I pick into the house!
Now that you mention the rains, I think I’ll check them again tomorrow!

I used to make jelly and syrup, sometimes with mint. I have made pies but this is the first time in a long time I have eaten them. I don’t have enough to make jelly, plus I am trying to avoid sugar.

How weird. I was just thinking to myself on the way home from work – “I wonder how the flock of pink flamingos are doing. I come home and find the “Reader” thingy has changed and a flamingo has met with an untimely demise. This is awful, really, really awful.

It survived, just a little stained. Of course it is raining again so it will be clean soon.

I am trying, but I am not doing as well as I would like. Every time I empty the bucket from the window air conditioner that takes water out of the air I say these words, “Please send this to California.” I wish I had mad magical abilities!

Oh, one of my humans is staying home to keep them and my beast in line. I could tell it would be sad, I also suspect it will make me think. I am looking forward to it.
