The other day as I was shopping for food at the supermarket, I saw a sale of brooms. A whole bin full. Nice blue and red brooms. And cheap too. A mere twelve pesos for a nice red or blue broom. I knew I had to have one.
My argument for the additional broom to myself was what if all the brooms in the house broke and I had to run back to the store to purchase a new broom, I might discover that they were all gone, because they were nice red or blue brooms and ever so cheap.
So I bought the broom, and it is now hanging with all the other brooms. But just in case.......one never knows, do one.
This morning another bird did a kamikaze flight into one of my windows. This bird was an exquisite woodpecker with a black and white mottled body and yellow/orange head with black beak and yellow eyes. It ended up, stunned, on the terrace and I did not touch it as I could see that it was still breathing and lo and behold, after some thirty minutes the bird took off and flew to the nearest tree. They are truly beautiful creatures. But Will it learn a lesson ? Doubtful. Asta, the Scottie, never figured out that trying to bite the nasty, ugly and poisonous toads we have in the rainy season, would result in some very unpleasant times with muscle spasms and rigidity of the neck and mouth. She still did not like them and never seemed to connect the discomfort with the chasing of the toads.
We humans are really not all that different, are we.
