It's garbage day again !!
After the movie mom and I saw yesterday, we went under the South Bridge where fishermen fish from the local pier. I wanted to check out the wind level. It surprised us both by blowing really nice. As Goldie Locks would say" It's just right." I sat on the swing which mom joined me.
I started talking about past events like Mom's marriage proposal from my dad. Also, the canoe honeymoon trip, they took traveling towards Canada. She remembers stopping at an island and camping there. She also felt like she had Polio, because she had canoed all day long. She said my dad was in his element. He loved to go camping. My sister Glendon was the same way. She loves the outdoors and camping was something she enjoyed in the past.
While sitting on the swing, I notice the smell of fish in the air. It wasn't a bad overpowering smell. It was light with the wind. Enough power to tell you a fish lived in the area and is either decomposing or still swimming around. The wind carried the Pelican's wings on the air currents, so they wouldn't have to flap for them to stay in the air. The Pelicans could glide high or low under and around the bridge in search of a fish dinner. It seemed so natural for a Pelican to glide around without any man made regulations. Man regulates man, but there are places where man leaves nature on its own. What happens is free in a good or bad fashion. The birds live good healthy lives or sometimes they die violent deaths. Man does not interfere, so nature goes on with new life.
The flowers at home are so pretty. We have Hibiscus that are deep red and sunset orange. Mom picked a couple of Gardenias. I have not seen the turtle, since we came back from our trip to see my sister. The weather has been unbearably warm and humid. It is like a steam bath. Hanging up clothes in the morning, I come in and have to change my shirt from sweating on my back. I long for the inside air conditioning. I long for the day when the outside air matches the air conditioning level on the inside of my house. I guess I am leaning towards the fall season when the heat finally cools down.

Don't those birds who seem to glide effortlessly in the air make us all envious. Such freedom to go anywhere. No restrictions of sidewalks or streets. I had a slight taste of this type of freedom when I lived in Arizona. I owned a jeep and I could just drive across the desert itself. No roads, just go in any direction I wanted to, much like your pelican.
