Sky Watch Friday!

a cut above

The distant sound of a lawnmower can be heard over the soccer fields. What?... Over the soccer fields?!! Yes, that's right, "over," as in "above!" It sounded like a lawn mower engine buzzing around up there, somewhere.

.

There is an airport close by, and we frequently see small aircraft flying overhead. They are always interesting to watch, but this one was moving much slower than the others, and sounded different. If you look closely, you will see that there are TWO people up there, and they have nothing to shield them from wind, bugs, birds, high-flying soccer balls or alien space craft. (sigh) What a thrill that must be!

.

What... no bag for the air clippings?

  20. Hello, Craver VII: thanks for your visit to my raccoon post. I know that 'coons around here have been known to rip the shingles off the roof if they get a whiff of squirrels making their way into one's attic. I wondered why the squirrel population in my neighborhood had decreased significantly in the last year or so. Now I know. Bet most folks think raccoons are sweet and eat only frogs and fish and stuff, but they enjoy squirrel, too. Yuck!
